Why is there #Mastodon and #Pixelfed?

On pixelfed there's only images but you can filter mastodon for images. Why would I make two profiles and when do I post which image to which platform?

When? Anytime you want.

Why: Because they have different databases they access, it's the same reason you cant log into Lemmy.world with a sh.itjust.works account.
