i was able to find shadow’s pixelfed.ca account on mstdn.ca, albeit very slowly (although their site just seems slow in general when i was checking). i just searched for @shadow@pixelfed.ca.
i also noticed this in the Dev Tools. not sure if it actually means anything though. will check with chad at mstdn.ca to make sure it’s not suspended.
i found some issues with the same issue, so at least it’s not just our instance:
https://github.com/pixelfed/pixelfed/issues/5577
https://github.com/pixelfed/pixelfed/issues/4485
in that second issue a user does say it was somehow fixed, but not sure how. will keep searching to see if I can find a solution.
yeah I’m definitely seeing the same behavior. none of the hashtagged posts from accounts I’m not following are not showing in my feed.
will continue to investigate and will maybe check the open pixelfed issues to see if this is issue other people are having too.
edit: I checked in pixelix, official pixelfed android app and web and none seem to show any posts from followed hashtags. weird.
hmm that is weird. hopefully things get better when they upgrade their lemmy version.
hmm that is strange. will poke around to see if i can figure anything out.
i think it has to do with how federation works. i believe it will only show posts for that hashtag that it knows about. and typically it’s only for local users and any people they follow, but it doesn’t back fetch any posts so it will currently be fairly limited. so as pixelfed.ca gets more users, it will get better and they start following more users, it will slowly improve.
hope that makes sense?
😂 while I appreciate it, i want to give credit where credit is due. shadow does 99% of the infra work, and mp3 and otter were instrumental in getting the non profit setup. i just help out where I can!
i think some people are theorizing that Mr Drummond & Burt are in cahoots, especially when fields mentions Burt has been with lumon for 20 years or whatever.
and yep, this season has been fantastic so far.
I believe it was Mr. Drummond who broke into Irv’s place and he found his notes & lists of severed people.
pixelfed is a fediverse version of Instagram. and no, not a replacement. more like a complimentary service.

while we are happy that you’re willing to help spread the word around about us, we would recommend just getting to know the site and the users and the community a bit more before getting too involved in promoting the site. thanks though!
ooh that seems cool, unfortunately I’m not free as well. will have to give them more of a listen though!
yeah we would have to look through our logs to see for sure what’s going wrong here.
according to this, as of this post: https://phiresky.github.io/lemmy-federation-state/site?domain=lemmy.ca
they are 136 activities behind, which may explain we you are seeing the inconsistencies? and as Rentlar mentioned, it could be also because they are behind on their version too.
edit: they also appear to be having intermittent issues too, which probably isn’t helping federation either.
yes, feel free to share the link! also for anybody new to lemmy / the fediverse, we have some guides to help people get started too.
yeah, lemmy is still rough around the edges a bit. but it’s always improving.
still weird that doesn’t work for you. only other thing I can think of is to try a hard refresh, and if that doesn’t work, logging out and back in.
but yeah, some of the other interfaces are pretty nice too.
hmmm. what browser/os are you using?
oh that is weird. i had no idea that pf supported text posts too.
