The decentralized Instagram alternative is a great option if you want to back up your feed, focus on photo-sharing, or cut loose from Meta's empire entirely. And making the leap is surprisingly easy.

All those long nights working on backend scalability and performance improvements are about to be put to the test

I wasn’t anticipating this attention for a few more months, but I’m ready 😎

    I’ve been using Pixelfed for a few months now and it’s super refreshing right now. Lots of interesting content without constant “influencers” promoting stuff or people trying to sell you things.

        My posts are 99% my dog Loki and various plants and fungi that live on my property. So birds would be a step up from what I offer lol.

      Couldn’t find an android app. Is there one, or is my country not supported?

        Use Pixel Droid. Download from F-Droid.

        When I first visited the site on my android, it installed a Pixelfed app for me, just like it did for kbin. This might be something to do with me using the Chrome browser though? I can’t say, I’m not super tech. But I’ve been using that just like an app.
