Comment on Weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing this week?
Flagstaff@programming.dev 3 weeks agoI kinda feel like the game names are what should be exposed and the more detailed notes should be tucked into the spoiler, haha.
Anyway, try pixelfed.org, a nonprofit, federated counter to Instagram!

Yeah, I thought about doing it the other way but forgot to actually change it. Next time! Probably. If I don’t forget.
I wondered about pixelfed but I’m not really familiar with Instagram or its derivatives and kind of assumed it was for a different kind of content (don’t ask me what, I have no idea what lead me to this view anyway). Guess I’ll look into it properly. Thanks!

You can make albums of whatever you want. Influencers show off themselves and/or their products or services. One of my friends posts landscape photos. Another shares photos of photos (the Droste effect). Others post their artwork. Do it!

Well, guess I have something to do over the weekend.

I was one of a bunch of people who got Instagram because my friends did and used it basically as “in real life social media”—use it to see what’s going on in the lives of people you know in real life, as a method of contacting some of them if you do not have their phone numbers, etc. Is there anyone using Pixelfed for that? I’d love to help support another Fediverse platform, but outside of just posting my personal stuff (and of course I would have to check privacy settings too) I’m not a photographer or influencer and feel I have no real reason to be using Pixelfed.

I would like to, but I’ve been unsuccessful at influencing people to migrate. But it’s the only federated counterpart to Instagram, so I think it’s still worth trying to propagate among our circles.
Hey, I’d be glad to show you around Milwaukee if you ever visit!
