Pixelfed is likely to come up in a Google search for an Instagram competitor. The open-source application bills itself as a “free and ethical picture sharing platform,” with no advertisements, third-party analytics, or tracking. Sounds wonderful, however, if you’re unfamiliar with its structure or that of comparable applications, it may take some time to get started.
To join, choose from a number of Pixelfed servers (or you can create your own using the easy-to-access code). However, keep in mind that when we logged in, the most popular server, pixelfed. social, with 54,200 members, was not allowing new registrations. The next English-language server seemed to be shared. graphics, which had just under 1,250 users.
Having said that, Pixelfed offers a very Instagram-like UI (minus the ads, the Stories, and the Reels). Pixelfed might be entertaining and beneficial to attempt if you have the know-how and desire to establish your own Pixelfed server for you and your friends to utilize. However, if you want a larger audience size for social networking, you’ll probably have to search elsewhere.
