I just wish PixelFed was actually usable. It’s incredibly slow and clunky in the just released app. The biggest barrier to entry for an Instagram alternative is convincing your friends and family to join. Twitter and Reddit alternatives are mostly anonymous and don’t necessitate following people you know.
The slowness is probably due to the sudden growth. The web interface of pixelfed.social was pretty slow for a couple days over the last weekend and is still occasionally unreachable. I think the expectation is that it will peak soon and stabilize at some percentage of the peak, with performance improving.
Addendum: Yes we know that you think ml/hexbear/grad are tankies and or .world are a bunch of liberals but it gets old quickly. Try and come up with new material.
