Remember when Instagram was actually good? Pixelfed is that: https://lifehacker.com/tech/pixelfed-the-ad-free-instagram-alternative-now-has-a-smartphone-app
This Photo-Sharing App 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.

@jhpot People posting photos for other reasons than follow some supposed algorithm rule, how refreshing (no sarcasm).

@jhpot

I can recommend #Pixeldroid

https://f-droid.org/packages/org.pixeldroid.app

The #Pixelfed #App is 160MB and doesn't even have a #darkmode! It also has an iOS style which is odd.

Pixeldroid is 20MB (!), has a native #Android style and an darkmode among other nice features like a tour through the app or a scrollable image list.

@jhpot

#Pixeldroid is also a bit messy. Needs edge-to-edge support for Android 15 and the sidebar button is messy for some reason

But damn, it is ⅛ the size!

@jhpot Instagram has always been trash, though. Addicts always chase that idea of when the high was good, even though its always been rotting away your brain and soul.

Stop chasing your addiction and put down the phone for an afternoon. It'll be good for you.
