Is it only for photography nerds at the moment or everyone ?

EDIT :Just want to get my friends to try anything ftom the frediverse and i think pixelfed is the only platform that ordinary people will want to use in the frediverse i aslo want to try it but atm they are not taking temp mails and every instance seems to need a real one which i am not comfortable sharing .

EDIT : Also is there any way i can browse it for some time without making an acc ?

    It’s like the early stages of IG. What are you wanting to use it for? There’s definitely no algorithmic reels feed filling you with everything you crave.

      Sold and sold. Call me old fashioned but pre-fb-owned ig was the tits.

        Most people are using the big guys due to being addicted to the constant feed of everything they like. There’s nothing like that. You’d have to convince them they have a problem and ween them off lol

          Voluntarily joining the fediverse after quitting reddit is how I recognized I was spending too much time on social media

    It is for everyone. I’m not a photography nerd and have an account that I post sporadically.

    If you want to browse any instance, you can go to that instance home page and click “explore”. Example: https://pixelfed.social/web/explore

    Hope you accomplish your mission to bring your friends to FediVerse. It is a little sad that the communication with Lemmy is not good at the moment.

    Oh gods this is the worst fucking thing about Instagram. As someone who never had an account there (in my case, less because of the privacy concerns and more just because I value photography more as an art form than the types of things Instagram encouraged, especially in its early days with the square-only limitation and heavy emphasis on filters), whenever I get sent a link to it, it’s just the worst. It manages to somehow be even worse than TikTok is for un-signed-in users.
