You’re 100% right about that. I’ve never ran out of nice posts to look at on Pixelfed. I think the medium & format is a lot less addictive and a lot more relaxing/positive, which might help to explain it.

Pixelfed is definitely a good example of “its what you make it”.

Try searching for and following some hashtags that you’re interested in. I have an awesome home feed made up of art, design and photography hashtags and artists.

“I use Arch BTW” is a meme in the Linux community. It reflects the perceived urge of Arch users to boast about using it.

Welcome to Linux :)

I would love to know how you get on with this.

The people who make writefreely are saying that they are working on making image uploads possible for self-hosted instances, not just their own at write.as. Currently if you are self-hosting you can insert an image but it must be hosted elsewhere and inserted via a markdown link.

This looks a lot like Writefreely.

And you would be able to see blog posts in a fediverse feed and subscribe to a blog that way.

Good work!
