I don't have a preference personally. The only issue would be if you make a whole bunch of posts all back to back (5+), that could flood someone's chronological feed.
Individual images spaced out, grouped posts, all fine by me :)
Also, does anyone know how to get them to show up in a Lemmy community, or what that'll look like? How do "Collections" factor into it? @pixelfed
I'm not sure about collections, but there's supposed to be a groups feature in the works.

In the meantime, I'd recommend you make a Lemmy post with one or all the images, and link your Pixelfed account/post somewhere
@otter yeah that back-to-back flooding is what I wanted to avoid. Plus it'd be nice if the images are associated with each other on the platform, hence thinking about collections. But tbh I don't have any idea how collections show up.
My other hope is to avoid duplication by posting the same images multiple times on different platforms. I *think* I've seen that mentioning a Lemmy Community will cause a post to be shared to Lemmy? Possibly only with the "cover" image showing up to Lemmy users?
@otter oh hmm. Just realised that groups announcement is nearly a year old. Seems like Pixelfed has undergone a lot of change in the last 12 months, so I wonder if that's been scrapped/deprioritised in the meantime.

Bold
- Custom Feeds, Kits, Groups
Beautiful
- HDR, Masonry layouts, Portfolios 2.0, Collections 2.0
Better
- Client caching (faster UX + reduced backend load), Accessibility/i18n, SPA or SSR, WebPush
The new @pixelfed webUI is amazing, and I didn't even mention the new photography features 👀
We'll be testing the beta on a pixelfed.social subdomain next week, and yes, you can too.
So it looks like groups functionality is coming up, and it is separate from collections, which is getting a redesign. I'll have to investigate exactly what those new changes are, but it is exciting regardless!
There is no real best practice really due to lack of algorithm. Just experiment
