Find the perfect Pixelfed community to join with our Server Directory
Unhappy about the news out of Meta? There is an Instagram alternative called Pixelfed that works largely the same way, only the servers are run and moderated by real people.
Steps to Sign Up
Look at the directory above
Filter by country or language if these would be important to you. There will be other people on your local server, and you will have a timeline available of their posts without having to follow them, so having folks local to you might be interesting!
Check the blurb about the server to see if it seems like a good match for you use. (Some are for graphic adult content. Some are art focused.)
Create an account/Apply. Some servers will auto-approve account creation, while others are reviewed by the owner.
You are now part of the fediverse! Pixelfed, unlike Mastodon, is image-centric, so all posts you see will have an image. You can follow people on mastodon if you search their @handle@server in the search box, but you will only see things they post that contain an image.
Search for some hashtag topics and follow people! Or, follow the hashtag itself.
Try clicking on the Local Feed and seeing if there are other people on your server you want to follow.
Try the Discovery tab as well.
Comment. Boost. Never see an ad and deprive Zuck of his power.
