#Instagram users should just switch to #Pixelfed. Seriously. The UI of Pixelfed is lighter and works very well without being authenticated (no login popup, etc.).

With a small user base (compared to IG), everytime I post the same photo on Pixelfed and IG, I get way more views (and comments !) on Pixelfed.It's quite fun. And the comments are really nice. The goal is not to spam my account.

@cedric But no monetization, so they just won't switch.

@cedric I donā€™t know if itā€™s the same for Uk, but in Italy Instagram is good to fuck around much more than for good photography, imho. I mean, Iā€™m with you on the technical side, but the target is quite different, at the moment. And while you screw around on IG, monetisation and hot air sellers proliferate

@cedric Whatā€™s the difference between a Pixelfed account and ā€œmediaā€ tab in somebodyā€™s Mastodon profile?

@cedric how do you get the unauthenticated view working? Whenever I try and open my profile without being logged in, I get shown a login page:

@chriswood maybe your account visibility is set to private in your settings ?
Show threadChris WoodAug 22, 2023
@cedric yeah I think itā€™s set to public. My profile stopped showing for non-logged in users a few months ago and I donā€™t remember changing any settings. Iā€™ve reported it on GitHub, hopefully someone can take a look one day. Sounds like it might be a bug somewhere

@cedric Don't they just use the smartphone app to spend time watching "flashy" stuff?

@cedric really? i get way less interaction on pixelfed unfortunately
Show threadCedricAug 22, 2023
@stelz0r yes, of course. It's just my experience. I have very few feedback and interactions on IG. I do not know why.

@cedric I only have an Instagram account to follow posts by like 5 people who haven't moved to the fediverse. I'd much rather replace the Instagram UI with an RSS feed.

@cedric It's nice to have #pixelfed instead of using Instagram.

@cedric for me, the difficult is to find a good and trusty pixelfed intstance

@quasimagia pixelfed.social is not good for you ?
