Pixelfed is definitely a good example of “its what you make it”.
Try searching for and following some hashtags that you’re interested in. I have an awesome home feed made up of art, design and photography hashtags and artists.

I’ve installed it and looked around, I don’t get it. It’s random people’s pictures.

This is usually where these apps stop for me.
I genuinely don’t care about what other people have to share.
It seems odd that you’re here on a social media site then.
Seems pretty close to Instagram
Sounds like instagram or imgur?
The old Instagram before they added the video stuff. Pretty much a 1:1 clone of that I was told (I was never on Instagram so 🤷).

I love art so it’s very much for me. I can see how it wouldn’t seem attractive to people that aren’t into that type of stuff though.
That’s exactly me as well. Tried it, looked at random people’s cats and dogs. Not for me.

I think that’s kind of the challange we’ve got with regards to making social media from a nerds perspective. We’re a bunch of nerds that don’t understand the appeal of the things we want to make alternatives to, and wouldn’t be interested in using them even if they weren’t run by horrible evil tech corporations.
that’s because you’re supposed to follow people you want to see. you know, social media.

Well, it is a photo sharing platform.
