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 😎

    Someone give me a hard sell here! Why should I use this app? I used to use Instagram (photographer/cinematographer), and I stopped using it because not just the tracking and all of that, but frankly, the content itself. Not to mention the algorithms are so busted and all they do is show me rage bait or flagrant ads disguised as content I would actually care about.

    Why do people like pixelfed?

      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?
