Here on the Fediverse, your account's reach depends on your followers rather than your server's size.

Even if you're on a tiny server, if you have followers from lots of other servers your posts will reach lots of people.

Here is why: If just *one* person from another server follows you, your posts and account will start showing up on that server and be searchable by *everyone* on that server.

I've had a lot of people ask how BlueSky compares to Mastodon and the Fediverse. I've tried to make the answer as simple and easy to understand as possible:

BlueSky is designed to give corporations and wealthy people full control of the network. All of its traffic has to flow through expensive-to-run corporate relays.

The Fediverse is designed to give ordinary people control of the network. All of its traffic flows directly from one cheap-to-run server to another.

No, not any more.

There used to be an option in Pixelfed to optionally view text-only posts, but that's no longer there.

Crossposting wouldn't solve this though, because you cannot post text-only even if you have a Pixelfed account. There is no ability to post in just text on Pixelfed, it always requires an image or video clip.

p.p.s. A lot of people asking how they can crosspost from Mastodon to Pixelfed. The answer is this:

You do not need to crosspost from Mastodon to Pixelfed. Your posts on Mastodon are already visible to people on Pixelfed, because Mastodon and Pixelfed are both part of the same social network.

(The same in reverse, posts on Pixelfed are visible to people on Mastodon.)

Some of the accounts you see on here are Mastodon, some are Pixelfed, some are other types, but you can follow all of them.
