  I’ve hardly managed to move my Instagram posts there and now they’re already rolling in the features I came there to excape.

    Is PixelFed trying to offer a subjectively better experience to Instagram or just an open source and decentralised equivalent to it?

    It would be nice to see options to turn off seeing this content but really what some of us consider bloat, others may love to use.

      For now it’s focusing on being an equivalent. Although the option to repost peoples posts to the feed and not have them show up in your post section is extremely nice. Helps a lot with discovery without making your account a mess like mastodon does. Also soon it will have groups that will be compatible with Lemmy.

      He’s mentioned turning them off will be possible really soon.

  What is a story exactly? A collection of related posts?

    heh, it’s a feature copied on various social platforms that allows you to post ephemeral video clips that go away after ~24 hours.

    It was a meme a few years ago that every website and app would one day have a Stories feature.

      Oh curious. I don’t understand the use-case or how it fits in with the concept of PixelFed so I think I won’t use it. I’d like to see PixelFed get more popular, but if most of the posts are disappearing after 24 hours then it’s kind of like nobody is even using it. 🤨
