So I made a Pixelfed account, and there seems to be a lot of slop/bot accounts. The posts in languages other than English don't bother me, just have been muting them as they come up as I'm a dirty monolingual. There are so few accounts where people post photos of themselves which sketches me out a little, lots of photography accounts with a SHIT TON of posts but 0 engagement. What has been yalls experience with the wider Fediverse, and do you have any recommendations for how to go about curating my algorithm? From what I've seen the Fediverse as a whole supposedly has 20 million users, Lemmy has been my main form of social media since the Reddit API debacle, though I haven't touched the rest of the Fediverse. There seems to be a lot more engagement here with quality posts/discussions, and we only have 50,000 active users. Is it worth going through the slog on the global feed on Pixelfed to find users I'm interested in, if so what's the best way to go about that?

Have been content calling the fediverse my internet home since the API debacle. I actually recognize users and comment occasionally, only ever lurked on reddit. Hope the community is around for the long haul.

    5 years ago I went to California for the first time and tried a lime out there. It was the best lime Ive ever had. Still havent recovered from that blow. I'll cut limes in half and chomp down on one half, love em that much.

    That's a gewd kedi right there. Had to give up my cat 4 months ago, though fortunately one of my sisters was able to take her in so I still get to see her sometimes. Going to go upstairs and pet the cat of the sister I'm staying with seeing this.

    She started the AI channel relatively recently, her main channel House of El is more focused on macro economics. Usually watch a video from her main channel every few days, from what ive seen she knows her stuff and tries to present things in an unbiased manner.
