America is a dumpster fire lol, they have all these “checks and balances” but then one guy can just make all the trade policy and land use decisions by decree. What even is the point of their congress

So I can’t be myself?

It doesn’t and the answer is not really. You can post to lemmy communities by tagging them like a user and see the first level of comments but you can’t reply to them or make your own comments. Piefed might have some kind of extra federation integration built in but lemmy does not. A friend of mine wrote a script that will enumerate all the links on a pixelfed instance and then search them on lemmy to manually pull the content but its clunky.

Is there any integration between pixelfed and lemmy? Can I view pixelfed users at all?

So what? The KGB hasn’t existed for 30 years or more. My dad was a dead beat, what does that matter? The bigger problem is what he is doing not who his parents and grand parents were lol
