@joergi no one should be recommending #pixelfed it's non-functional and not under active development. It has been replaced by #loops for the time being.
In letzter Zeit bearbeite ich immer wieder Fotos und veröffentliche sie dann doch nicht drüben bei @nielso@pixelfed.de – vielleicht so ähnlich, wie wenn man es sich gründlich überlegen möchte, welches Motiv man sich denn nun tätowieren lässt oder lieber doch nicht.
Der Zweifel ist ein guter Filter. Ähnlich wie beim Gedichteschreiben kommen die Fotos auf Wiedervorlage, werden ggf. umgearbeitet, oder später gänzlich verworfen.
Das Schöne ist, dass auf #Pixelfed offenbar ansprechende Fotos mit Likes belohnt werden.
Es gibt auch Accounts, die täglich inflationär posten, vermutlich frisch rübergekommen von Instagram & Co… meistens am Ende nicht arg erfolgreich. Ähnlich dem deutschen Touristen, der überall auf der Welt SchniPoSa essen will.
Pixelfed ist für mich eine sanfte Revolution und voller (für mich) spannender Fotos.

During a snow-covered walk through the Oisterwijkse Bossen, I ran into an old friend again — or at least, I hoped I did. The European robin (Dutch: Roodborst, Latin: Erithacus rubecula) has a habit of following me on walks, or so it feels. This one, however, was certainly not that robin — and that made the encounter no less special.
I settled at my favorite spot near Café Venkraai, warmly hosted as always by Bart and his team. While most people escaped indoors to sit by the fire, I stayed outside. I’m far more comfortable among feathered company than chatting humans ^.-
Robins were everywhere, joined by blue tits (Cyanistes caeruleus), great tits (Parus major), and, further off, the rhythmic tapping of a great spotted woodpecker (Dendrocopos major).
Robins are famously territorial, especially during breeding season. Yet in winter, when survival outweighs rivalry, they often tolerate each other — sometimes even appearing playful. Watching them hop, chase, and briefly share space was a quiet reminder of how behavior adapts to conditions.
While enjoying a chai latte and a vegan worstenbroodje, one robin joined me at the table, eyeing me hopefully. I shared a tiny crumb — sparingly — knowing bread isn’t ideal for birds. Note to self: bring dried mealworms next time.
This image was taken around 11:00 in freezing conditions, using my Canon EOS 5D Mark IV with the Sigma 100–400mm at 400mm, f/6.3, ISO 3200, 1/250s, handheld, sheltered under the café roof. A small moment of winter trust, quietly earned.
