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 😎

    Ok, yet another fediverse copy of a previous app where none of the people/things I want to follow are at…at least Mastodon has bird.makeup which clones twitter accounts so I can still see the people I follow who don’t use Mastodon.

    Does Pixelfed have a version of that for Instagram?

        I don’t care too much about interacting overall. Guess I will just stick with Insta

          I mean yeah, at this point people are here on Fediverse out of principle, not content. It’s like complaining why there are no scrappy reality dating shows on PBS, it’s missing the point.
