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?

Different kinds of social media. Mastodon is for microblogging (ala twitter) and Pixelfed is for picture-based posts (ala instagram).
