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.

Pixelfed got featured on the Wired and here’s what @dansup@mastodon.social, the author of @pixelfed@mastodon.social, says:

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 😎

    Thanks @gabe@literature.cafe! https://social.photo. I just opened registration so it’s still very young. I am running Lemmy on https://discuss.online, Mastodon on https://utter.online and Pixelfed on https://social.photo. I also run a matrix instance on the same discuss.online domain.

    I’m based in Ohio, US; however, the servers are in New York on DigitalOcean. That’s really close to Canada :).

    I’m trying to build an ecosystem under the https://participating.online brand. I don’t plan on going anywhere.

    In fact, I had planned to build something many years ago and I’ll probably start on it now. It will provide a unique experience once it’s done in a several months. I’m working on some other stuff first… like myself.
