You there with the camera - help me test pixelfed.ie (1 Viewer)

[pete]

You might have heard about Pixelfed recently, the decentralised and federated image sharing platform (think Instagram with no ads, no tracking, and no algorithm). I've set up a pixelfed instance at Pixelfed.ie over the last few days, and now it needs some testing.

pixelfed.ie

I've enabled approved registration for the moment for anyone interested in taking a look, so just put something in the About yourself box to let me know you're from here...

Is this how we're going to make our millions?

 

[pete]

My sources say no.

I installed this ages ago, but haven't used it. Going to find/add you now....

Presumably from your link you're on pixelfed.ie. Currently googling how to add the pixelfed.ie instance to my feed in my phone app. (This needs to be easier if it's going to go mainstream :-/) I'm on the pixelfed.social instance because a menu of options was presented to me when I logged in, but I can't figure out how to get that menu back, or indeed search for other instances in general.

You should be able to follow any pixelfed.ie account form any other fediverse(ugh) server - mastodon, pixelfed, whatever.

Mine, for example

You can also migrate your account between servers. I haven’t tested that yet so let me know if you want to be the guinea pig.
