How do you find someone on Instagram if you are not an Instagram user?
How do you find something on Mazda Forum if you are on Reddit?
How you find something on AVForums if you are on AVS Forum?
The fediverse has way, way, way more in common with the Internet of 2005 than it does with the Internet of 2025. You have to act more like it's 20 years ago.
Pixelfed not a centralized service. It's a web engine. It's something that lets you host your own photo sharing website. If you want to syndicate stuff from someone else's website, you need to find it on their website first. Fediverse websites just let you do the syndicating by automated request.
To initiate the syndication request, you take the post/user's original URL, paste it into your website's search bar, and then hit enter. It will request and fetch that content, creating a local copy for you. From there, you can follow the person who originally posted it, creating an auto-syndication relationship.
If you're trying to promote federation, this isn't the way to go about it.
