Old, but just in case folks don’t know about this…

EDIT: I was stunned at all the upvotes this got, and from a two-year-old article to boot! I hope I didn’t do anything to overload their servers. When I posted about the Instagram/Pixelfed import tool, I was kind of surprised at how many folks that were on Lemmy didn’t already know about Pixelfed, which is why I posted this, also from We Distribute. For a long while, IIRC, the Fediverse pie chart was taken up almost entirely by Mastodon (which it probably still is) followed by a small but visible sliver of Pixelfed–Lemmy hardly registed at all. Just goes to show how fast we’ve grown!

EDIT EDIT: I see that some of you were a little bit disappointed with BookWyrm, but I hope you will stick with them because I think they can be an important member of the Fediverse. The sense that I get is that they’re stretched very thin, and could use some support, monetarily of course, but especially from other developers.

    Is there any federated interaction between BookWyrm and Kbin? Can I follow book or author updates or keep up with reviews or conversation?

      Doesn’t look like it’s possible yet. Doesn’t seem to work with Lemmy, either. Sounds like an interesting feature request for their respective issues trackers, though.

      I was able to follow my bookworym account on mastodon, but not sure how to use my existing accounts w/i bookwyrm. I think the functionality doesn’t translate well to other fediverse products w/ different setups… kinda like trying to interact w/ tweets (posts?) via lemmy

        I was hoping that because Kbin does support mastodon posts it might work. I’d love to see that integration
