I deleted my twitter account this morning before getting out of bed, instagram should be next. Even though Instagram is owned by facebook, in which i have deleted my account, i am still looking for an alternative. Any suggestions?
@Marno awesome! Thanks!
@Marno Do you know how to? can you use a regular mastodon client to view and post to a pixelfed instance? i think I’m @Fluhartyml
@FluhartyML I have only been able to follow people from pixelfed.de
I think pixelfed.social might not be updated yet. Try following this person: https://pixelfed.de/paulakreuzer on your Mastadon account.
@Marno Those pictures are pretty
@Marno seems like i have to wait for their servers to catch up
@FluhartyML Yeah I think so.
@Marno i cant view them in my mastodon client >:[ i can only access those pixelfed things in safari
@FluhartyML I think it depends on the Pixelfed instance in particular. At the moment ActivityFed federation is optional (and maybe disabled by default) in Pixelfed, so the instance admin would have to enable it themselves.
@jonah oh they probably don’t want normal instances to be pixelfeds because picelfeds limit each supscriber to one gig for pictures and providers for normal instances charge the sysadmin or offer limited space per instance

@FluhartyML welcome to Mastodon 😎
As others have suggested, pixelfed is a good alternative.
Out of curiosity why did you leave Twitter? I always like hearing the stories, viewpoints and reasons. 😁
@Wetrix ileft twitter mainly because i just rarely tweeted, i started it because i got a flip phone with a camera and wanted to twoop and tweet pictures while exploring the city. Because of my lack of use and all of the controversies against the conservatives finally was the straw that broke the camels back so i just closed my account.
@FluhartyML oh yeah the bias against the right there is strong!
You can be a leftist and say anything you want, but even if your just conservative right you'll get warned, muted and banned in no time.
This is because of the guy that owns Twitter, Jack Dorsey.
@FluhartyML Hi Michael, I think Pixelfed is the federated alternative to Instagram: https://pixelfed.org/
You should be able to follow Pixelfed accounts through your Mastodon account.
