The decentralized Instagram alternative is a great option if you want to back up your feed, focus on photo-sharing, or cut loose from Meta's empire entirely. And making the leap is surprisingly easy.

        Also glad there are discussions about this. Somehow Lemmy and the Fediverse seem more privacy friendly but it’s just as public as anything on the web - which makes sense, since communities, posts and comments are public anyway. So I’m not sure how it could be more private with the currently design.

        There are however protocols that can provide the foundation for more privacy friendly and decentralized applications like Web5 and Solid.

    Wow Pixelfed is evolving much quicker than I expected. I didn’t know about the import feature, sure it is convenient for newcomers

    I think the wrong question is being asked. Instead of “what’s a good replacement for IG?” the question should be “do we even need an app like IG to begin with?”. And I would say the answer is no.
