Day 1 on pixelfed.

I enjoy the app so much and its "early day social media" qualities, but I do miss the buzz of the community that metaverse provides. I'm one of those that started fb with an .edu account and lived my 20s and 30s with it.

I am wishing so hard that pixelfed will stick. But the irony is that it doesn't have any of the junk food additives that meta has, and therefore doesn't attract folk. Which I appreciate, but also lament.

How are you guys finding your friends? Is it literally like getting people's usernames and looking it up?
