much thanks to @gary_host_laptop for the logo design :)
Absolutely love Pixelfed. It really captures the vibe Instagram had in 2012 before FB ruined it.
Sounds great! Unfortunately insta is the only site I’ve kept to keep up with irl friends and family and I use it almost exclusively for that purpose (I don’t browse strangers’ posts) so it’s a much harder shift than Reddit —> kbin
This. I wish there was a front end that was easy to use like nitter or squawker for Twitter.
I got far enough on pixelfed.social to confirm my email address, now I just get a blank blue screen. Not an encouraging first impression. Perhaps I tried to join during a media-caused mad rush or something?
Perhaps, but pixelfed.social is said to be fine with the traffic as mentioned here. Did you try after some time? Were you able to get past it?
Problem seems to be the main site page doesn't work on modern iOS, at least not with Lockdown Mode enabled. It loads fine on desktop, but not in any popular iOS browsers (all browser use the same underlying WebKit rendering tools from Apple anyway). That's a bummer
Didn‘t knew that exists, awesome. Checking it out for sure :)
I migrated a bunch of my Instagram to a Pixelfed account about a week ago. I like the built in editor in Instagram, so if anyone can suggest a similar alternative, I’d appreciate it.
What iOS Pixelfed client do you use?
