I made an account on gram.social where I want to share stuff from my band to divert some traffic off of Instagram.

Everytime when I try to post a picture through the pixelfed app ot shows up as “unlisted” and not “public” even if I flag it correctly in the posting menu.

Does my new account have to get verified or is there a setting I’m missing? The account is public and you can find stuff by searching, though I think my forst lost doesn’t show up in feeds or hashtags or anything else.

Cheers and have a good one!

Edit: So I opened Pixelfed on PC and got a notification that the first post needs to be approved by an human to appear as public from then on. The topic can be considered solved but I’ll leave the post up for anyone being as confused as I was.
