Pixelfed Feels Like a Return to Instagram’s Glory Days


If you're searching for an alternative to Instagram, Pixelfed is a decentralized, ad-free alternative for iOS and Android that does what Insta used to do best: Allow you to share photos without all the clutter.

It also means that signing up can be a little confusing to Fediverse neophytes: When getting set up, you will need to choose a server in order to share photos and follow other users. The biggest server, pixelfed.social, is currently lagging due to a large influx of new users, so it's worth considering the other options presented in the app itself (or browse this directory). Your timeline, once filled with photos from people you follow, is these days dominated by ads and "recommended" videos from celebrities and strangers.
