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.

Is there anyone using Pixelfed for that?
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.
eventually I’ll probably meet someone who uses Pixelfed in real life.
Hey, I’d be glad to show you around Milwaukee if you ever visit!
