I refuse to use Instagram; however, I’ve been looking at https://pixelfed.org/. I’m thinking of either joining a server or starting my own. I bought the domain https://social.photo (nothing on it yet). I’m not a fan of any of the current names, and I’m looking for something more professional sounding to use.

Is there anything you use besides Lemmy and this community to share?

    I think Pixelfed is pretty good! Just started using the beta on iOS one or 2 months ago, and I have to say the software has been getting better pretty quickly. Plus, it’s easy to start, even when you know no-one nice pictures pop up just like this :)

      I love how it’s such a small community creating it all part-time. When/if I get more time I hope to contribute and help it grow even more.

    replacing google photos is on my long list of services I want to self host… just time and brain cycles required.

    Hardware is easy for me, software, not so much.

        its on the list, my big hold up is it seems silly to spin up 9 different SQL databases when I could just spin up one on a container and then have all my different services attached to that. But each service like Nextcloud, photoprism, lemmy… w/e seem to have different prefered database servers.

          I like to keep environments separate just in case one is corrupted or compromised.
