Ex-programmer, ex-tech journalist, ex-filmmaker, now a painter. My art: http://www.eugenialoli.com
You can follow me if you like book illustration art: https://pixelfed.social/EugeniaLoli Another way, is to search for tags. For example, if you like fishing, you search for that tag, and then you find ppl that post interesting fishing stuff.
Thank you!!! Here is my art account: https://pixelfed.social/EugeniaLoli
My favorite is PixelFed. I’m an artist, so Instagram was important for me, but for a few years now it’s absolutely terrible (no reach at all with their special algorithms). PixelFed fixes all that, it replicates the feeling of IG as it was 8-10 years ago: chronological feed, tag-based, no extraneous features. I’m really enjoying it, as I can finally grow again my followship as an artist: https://pixelfed.org/
Is it on f-droid? I don’t have google play store, I run a totally degoogled phone.
I always use the subscription feed, in fact, my custom homepage has a link to specifically that page. However, my husband didn’t even notice that there was such an option and only uses the recommended feed (we talked about it recently). I personally can’t stand recommendation engines. These have destroyed my art business in social media platforms. I need chronological.

I don’t like infinite scrolling. It’s resource heavy after a while.
their drivers aren’t open, so there are always crashes and bugs that they can’t be fixed, because nvidia can’t test with all the distros, or all wayland implementations, or games under linux. Intel drivers are the most rock solid under linux.
Not a bad DE, but nearly unmaintained lately. The development of it has been crawling.

Maybe some bigger subreddits are dying, but the UFOs and Experiencers subreddits are as active as ever, if not more. I guess these remain big there because these subjects are very censored in other social media (e.g. youtube) and never show up in search results (they show only videos from tv news). Reddit also censors them (e.g. some posts that contain more info than usual), but you can still see these posts when you go to these subreddits directly.
XMPP was better known as Jabber back in the day, and most of us used Pidgin to connect to it. I used it for about 10 years or so.
There is interoperability between PixelFed and Mastodon for sure. I often get a lot of likes from there, rather than PixelFed itself.
