    On the plus side pixelfed seems to be popping off. And every time one of the big companies f up, we get a slow trickle of new users. Which is much more sustainable in the long run.

      Alright. I’m finally hearing enough about pixelfed to start looking into it. Are there any good resources for jumping in?

      I see it’s decentralized. Do I just go to pixelfed.org and create an account, or is this like the fediverse where you have to pick an instance to get started?

      Edit: for anyone looking, the Pixelfed website has a list of instances, so you can try to find an instance that most appeals to you.

        It’s part of the Fediverse, so if you’re on a Pixelfed instance you can see other servers running Mastodon, et al. Pick an instance that seems like it feels nice to you.

        Yeah it can be that easy. Pixelfed.social is the big one.

        Or you can go with one of the others to share the load.

        I personally spun my own instance up just to try it out a couple of days ago. It’s neart and very perforant.
