I'm leveraging Piefed for something incredibly neat.

You might notice that I'm tagging my photography posts with usernames. In fact, those are not usernames -- they are #Piefed communities.

And to get the full effect of what I'm doing, it's important to visit each individual community for the full aesthetic impact. So here's the links:

  1. @dustbloom@piefed.social: https://piefed.social/c/dustbloom
  2. @blue@piefed.social: https://piefed.social/c/blue
  3. @lumoura@piefed.social: https://piefed.social/c/lumoura
  4. @sizz@piefed.social: https://piefed.social/c/sizz
  5. @recordpics@piefed.social: https://piefed.social/c/piefed

More important is how I'm submitting content to those Piefed communities. From pixelfed.social and atomicpoet.org, I'm uploading photos from those two servers: pixelfed.social is my own artwork; atomicpoet.org is interesting art I stumble upon. After I upload a photo, I give it a description in a post, then tag it with the community "username" I want it to submit it towards.

Once the post is live, the originating server sends the post over to Piefed, and Piefed reposts it to the community I tag.

Voila! I now have submitted my post to an aesthetic and curated community, for which anyone can collaborate with me on.

Within a day, we got lots of activity here -- and several people are already interacting with photos posted there.

It's great seeing intuitive uses of the software more regularly, thanks for sharing!

I've done this with my pixelfed/Mastodon to post on lemmy for easier image hosting. I still can't get over how cool it is that you can essentially "post to 'reddit' from your 'twitter' or 'instagram'"

the Fediverse is fuckin neat lol
