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.
I've been using Pixelfed for a few months now and it's super refreshing right now. Lots of interesting content without constant "influencers" promoting stuff or people trying to sell you things.
When I first visited the site on my android, it installed a Pixelfed app for me, just like it did for kbin. This might be something to do with me using the Chrome browser though? I can't say, I'm not super tech. But I've been using that just like an app.
