People share photos and videos all the time on mastodon. What is the difference with pixelfed?

Everything on Fedi is just different interfaces and perf from the user perspective.

People want to continue to use something close to Instagram, Facebook, Reddit, Twitter but not be locked to their enshitified companies who decide what they get to see.

Many that come over find out there's no algorithm and that they have to follow people to get any content, they find they miss the doom scroll and go straight back.

Every one of these federated apps needs a strong meme feed. Just an endless stream of shitposts and funny content. Doesn't need to be doomscrolling, just needs to be a constantly available source of low effort junk food content

Better UI and a better discover page mainly. Plus it's gotten a lot of organic advertising just from luck and people talking about it, and no obvious competitor like Bluesky

Different vibes. I am really liking the pixelfed UI.

Yes. No transcoding, but that's actually a feature as far as I'm concerned.
