There isn’t, unfortunately. Global shows you all of the Fediverse, not just Pixelfed. A global pixelfed feed was a planned feature at one point but I’m not sure of its status.
For now, it’s really hard to find pixelfed users on other servers because they get drowned out by all the Mastodon traffic.
I’m not sure. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a Lemmy post there, though I haven’t spent a ton of time on that TL. It might be different because all Lemmy posts are posted to groups which aren’t supported by Pixelfed yet. That’s just a guess though.
Yeah I don’t think pixelfed global supports Lemmy – I’ve seen a couple image posts on Lemmy in the past 10 minutes that didn’t show up on pixelfed global. So I guess they miss out on our memes and shitposts lel.
It just depends on how you want to use your account. I can see wanting to follow PeerTube or Loops accounts from Pixelfed. I follow a few Mastodon users who just post photos.
The default behaviour is to only show content with attached media but you can change that in settings too. So you can use it as a microblogging service if you just like the look and feel of Pixelfed.

Does it show Lemmy posts tho? It doesn’t seem to… Also it looks like it only shows image posts from Mastodon… (not criticizing it, just noting.)

That’s weird, why would you want to see other fediverse content in Pixelfed? Surely it should be all Pixelfed content like op expects.
Lots of great artists are on Mastodon instances, like mastodon.art. Including their image posts means you can see some really good paintings.

I was just looking for the setting to enable text-only posts on pixelfed.social but it doesn’t seem to be there. 😐
Huh. Yeah, I can’t find it either. I guess it’s been removed. Or maybe I hallucinated it? Spooky.
No it was real

And then made opt-in
https://mastodon.social/@pixelfed/106617606135098044
And then removed at some point, I guess.
Thanks for that deep dive! Glad to not be hallucinating.
