If you want to log in on a Pixelfed server, you need a Pixelfed account on that server. You cannot sign in on a Pixelfed server with a Mastodon account.
There is a button labelled "Sign in with Mastodon" on Pixelfed but it does not do what it claims to do. Every time you use this button, it creates a new totally separate Pixelfed account using info from your Mastodon profile.
If you're comfortable using Github, you can vote to fix this at https://github.com/pixelfed/pixelfed/issues/4606

@FediTips@social.growyourown.services Thanks for clarifying this! I just tried that and was completely confused.
