Looks like Pixelfed’s growth spurt is slowing down. Absent any new external stimuli I’m guessing it’ll stabilize around 200K to 300K monthly active users – over a hundredfold order of magnitude from what it was just a month ago.
I’ve installed it and looked around, I don’t get it. It’s random people’s pictures.
Well, it is a photo sharing platform.
Pixelfed is definitely a good example of “its what you make it”.
Try searching for and following some hashtags that you’re interested in. I have an awesome home feed made up of art, design and photography hashtags and artists.
Seems pretty close to Instagram
I love art so it’s very much for me. I can see how it wouldn’t seem attractive to people that aren’t into that type of stuff though.
That’s exactly me as well. Tried it, looked at random people’s cats and dogs. Not for me.
that’s because you’re supposed to follow people you want to see. you know, social media.
