    no, I understand all of that… i’m just wondering what the point of having an instagram-like experience in 2023 when you can post photos and be a photo account on Mastodon. It does the same job, especially when it’s all interconnected via the Fediverse.

    In the end, it’s all the same. Twitter, Threads, Mastodon, Instagram, Pixelfed, heck even Facebook: Post content, like/share/comment.

      It does a very similar job, but also it is good just to have options. I like that everyone on PixelFed is an account for photos so I know what I’m getting from everybody else. I also like the portfolio view which is a nice view of only the photos you want from your profile without any text or social aspect at all. It’s a good quick link to give friends and family who want to see your photos.
