I’m not sure about Lemmy, but I found this post to be a good explanation of how Pixelfed interacts with Mastodon.
Based on what it says there, I wouldn’t really expect it to play-nice with Lemmy though. We might be able to access Pixelfed posts here on Lemmy, but almost certainly not the other way around - because Pixelfed requires an image in every post.
Moderately certain this is already happening, as evidenced by loops showing up so often in my “all” tab. If I understand correctly (and for the love of all that is good, someone please correct me if I’m wrong), Loops is “hosted” via pixelfed.
Oh, is loops going to be run as a totally separate service?
I’m not well educated on their project (nor on activity pub beyond a surface level understanding), but it was my understanding that is was going to be run as a sub-service of pixelfed. Don’t suppose you can point to any resources on that topic?
I’m super pumped for the project, but am largely waiting to get properly set up with it until there’s a good app and I can on-board the friends and family all in one go. Really hoping to get them all off TikTok/YT Shorts/Reels/whatever corporate and nation run projects the kids are using these days.
Have you tried it? It’s in open beta. The app is already really good. I don’t think it’s ready for the friends and fam yet but it’s worth checking out.
I’m liking it but they need to work on navigation, mostly the scrolling animations. What makes Tiktok/IG Reels great imo was the quickish navigation from post to post.
Is there any integration with Lemmy? Cross promotion would be awesome, and something big tech can’t actually do.
I am but a humble end user using the web interface, but I do know mastodon comments can somehow show up on Lemmy.

yeah I also want some clarity around how that works and if it’s functional rnow.
Hello from Mastodon.
All of these “talk” ActivityPub so Pixelfed should already integrate in some form with Lemmy.
How are you responding from masto without the @ ?
I’ve never seen that before
The @ is only required for making posts on Lemmy from Mastodon, not replies AFAIK.

I think you are just seeing people repost loops to Lemmy as Loops isn’t federated yet

Loops is made by the same developer as Pixelfed but I have no idea what he intends for loops
It’s just in early development and hasn’t federated yet.
It’s a separate thing from Pixelfed though. Just developed by the same guy.
Interesting to hear.

it makes stuff super lowres rnow which isn’t great for viewing, it definitely needs some quality of life features but it seems to have a good core
