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

    As with all the fediverse stuff, it feels like early Instagram when you weren’t bombarded by a million ads and celebrity bullshit all the time. It feels like a great community of amateur photographers coming together to share and be inspired again to take photos. That’s why I like it.

      Sounds great. How does sorting work on it? Is it just who you subscribe to and show what was the most recent?

        Yeah it’s either the latest from who you follow, local timelines or the federated one.
