I never used Instagram. I've tried Pixelfed and I don't quite get it. Sure, you post pictures with captions, but I feel like there is emptiness. When I scroll through my followed users, I just see some art and photographs. I don't know if I'm doing anything wrong, but Pixelfed doesn't seem very active for me.

I do enjoy Pixelfed, but export is a bit limited right now. If you have more than 500 posts, you can't (as far as I can tell) export your data, Not that I want to at the moment, but I do like to take backups of my stuff just in case. I imagine the dev is working the issue, though.

I only use Instagram to follow public figures, so moving to Pixelfed is a no-no.

I love seeing pictures of the world from other people's perspective. Urban shots. Nature shots. Any old boring shots like just a side road you walk down, or a tree you like to sit under. I like being able to see the quiet places in the world as well as the loud ones.

If that describes a lot of anyone's posts, add me there and I will follow you back https://pixelfed.social/i/web/profile/577121287304400256

Thanks for the recommendation! Trying it out and liking it so far :)

[-] GroovinChip@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Is there an iOS client app for it?

[-] Rhabuko@feddit.de 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

It definitely is a good alternative for the original Instagram idea (a place for photographers to share their pictures) before Meta bought Insta and turned it into Facebook 2.0.

[-] Duchess@yiffit.net 4 points 1 year ago

the best thing is for people like me who just used instagram to lurk it works really well with mastodon or calckey. just follow whoever you like and it'll show up in your feed no problem

[-] baronvonj@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Pixelfed seems to only show Mastodon posts with an image attached. Which seems intuitive when you think about it, but the user profile page is a bit wonky as the summary line lists a different number of posts for the person than what it shows for that person's feed. Vice versa, following Pixelfed profiles from Mastodon, seems much more consistent so far.

I was trying that one, but I think I like Tusker better and it can do both Mastadon and Pixelfed.

[-] mingistech@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Ah, I didn’t like Tusker at all as a Mastodon client and went with Ivory. But, I’ll give it a chance as a Pixelfed client and see how it goes.

[-] mingistech@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

This inspired me to try Ivory with Pixelfed and it works!

Oh I forgot about this. Just tried it, awesome. Low user count for my niche interest but I hope it can grow

[-] BackOnMyBS@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I'm using Pixelffed to get replace Imgur and IG at the same time. One, it's federated image site I can use to share image links on Lemmy. Two, while I haven't found any of my social circle on there, it let's me see all pictures posted throughout the Pixelfed fediverse while a lot from Mastodon. I like this feature because it helps me expand my exposure to users and images I wouldn't have seen otherwise on IG.

[-] Zerfallen@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Exactly what I've been looking for! Does it include photo editing tools?

I would need an app on the Play store though, my phone doesn't allow sideloading.
