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 @[email protected], the author of @[email protected], 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 😎

    The photo app that is terrible at telling me what is NSFW and what isn’t.

    Literally, I had a picture on Pixelfed that was marked NSFW and opening it revealed a fucking tree.

    Then I scroll down and I think, “oh it is another NSFW tree.” No it was an image of two people fucking." I don’t care if there is porn but the algorithm to determine what porn is on Pixelfed is shit. Make it work better or just give me a damn toggle to turn it all off.

      Ideally there should be no algorithm for this stuff but it would make moderation harder
