Makes sense to me, nothing to add! I hope the fediverse gets better for marginalized people…

Unfortunately Lemmy being a reddit-like platform, there’s likely gonna be a bunch of reddit-like people in these comments saying reddit-like things that go against one or all of these guidelines.

Woww wtf!!

If I’m understanding correctly, this sounds just about exactly how GrapheneOS works by default. All GPlay apps work and have notifications, but are sandboxed.

I am very, very excited about it! I check for updates nearly every day lol

Interesting, maybe it didn’t used to work! It does have to be the direct link to the image, if that helps. Like, “right click on image, open in new tab”, then use that link? The link to the post itself doesn’t do it.

I use it fairly frequently and enjoy it! My instance is Pxlmo but it hardly matters, federation doing its thing and all. The official app is quite buggy atm, but not unusably so, and it’s fun to watch the updates slowly improve things. I do follow a lot of people who are actually on mastodon but only ones who mostly post pictures anyway, so they fit better in my pixelfed feed.

EDIT: Oh, I forgot to mention! I also kinda use it as image hosting for other apps! Only for pictures worth posting though, not trying to clutter it up. All my picture posts on Lemmy are stored there. If you put the direct link to the pic in the Lemmy image field, it shows up just as if you’d uploaded it directly to the post, no click-through necessary.

Doing the lord’s work 🫡

Whoaa, a fedi tumblr clone?! I had no idea anyone was working on that. You rock!
