I tried Pixelfed (very briefly) not so long ago. I didn’t find a propper way to search for content. How do you discover new content?
Comment on Which of the Fediverse projects are worth getting into?

As a user: Pixelfed is a nice replacement for Instagram. It’s very clean and it captures what Instagram used to be years ago
It just needs users. Right now I’m following artists and creatives

I started with the ‘Discover’ page for some stuff, but I think I found most things by searching relevant hashtags. Once I had a few people followed, I also took a peek at who was resharing/liking/commenting to find more people. I haven’t used it THAT much yet, but there’s enough content to scroll through every now and then

Are there mobile apps for pixelfed?
otter@lemmy.ca 10 months ago
Yep! An official app and a few third party ones
pixelfed.org/mobile-apps
The mobile site works fairly well if you don’t want an appa

That’s good. What are your favourite apps that you would recommend?
otter@lemmy.ca 10 months ago
I haven’t tried that many of them, and I stuck with the official app because it felt the most familiar (feels like instagram)
So out of the ones I’ve tried, I’d recommend either the official app or the mobile site as they’re more likely to have the latest features. Pixelfed’s dev has been super fast with the improvements so it might be worth it?
