Unlikely. Maybe a few years down the line but the fediverse isn't mature yet. Aside from mastodon and maybe firefish most sites are still in beta and missing features and quality of life. Even Lemmy is missing things like tags and a proper on-boarding experience. Things are slowly trudging along but I think the average person won't take you seriously when you say the fediverse is an alternative that's as good as the social media they're used to.
Have you checked out Pixelfed lately? The main developer is going like gangbusters over the last couple of months. It's maturing quickly. I don't think that guy sleeps.
Been hearing a lot about pixelfed. So is it comparable to say Instagram or is it a microblogging platform like Mastodon.
Mostly an Insta clone. Every post starts with one to ten pictures, with text below. So it's more suited to posting photos than text.
I actually think it's better than Instagram in some ways now. That being said, some of the instances are a little slow, but that's not the fault of the software.
