Is it only for photography nerds at the moment or everyone ?

EDIT :Just want to get my friends to try anything ftom the frediverse and i think pixelfed is the only platform that ordinary people will want to use in the frediverse i aslo want to try it but atm they are not taking temp mails and every instance seems to need a real one which i am not comfortable sharing .

EDIT : Also is there any way i can browse it for some time without making an acc ?

It’s like the early stages of IG. What are you wanting to use it for? There’s definitely no algorithmic reels feed filling you with everything you crave.

Most people are using the big guys due to being addicted to the constant feed of everything they like. There’s nothing like that. You’d have to convince them they have a problem and ween them off lol

Voluntarily joining the fediverse after quitting reddit is how I recognized I was spending too much time on social media

I've had almost no luck convincing people to try something else.. hard to overcome the momentum and the "but everyone I know is on that one"

Sold and sold. Call me old fashioned but pre-fb-owned ig was the tits.
