Pixelfed has been making incredible strides over the past few years, and has begun developing a suite of different platforms and services for the #Fediverse. After just one day on Kickstarter, they've already smashed their campaign goal.

But they still need your help!

Ok, so I spent the weekend getting my own Pixelfed instance working for my friends who want off Instagram.

My big question, is how do you discover new content?

Sure you can follow people on other instances, but how do you find them in the first place?

Also, basically all of the content I’ve been able to find so far has been artsy photos of fences and beaches and whatnot. It’s pretty and all, but there’s not much of humanity in my feed.

If you don't hate bluesky, that's an option as well: https://fed.brid.gy/

The thing that I hate about the bridge is that, I need to separately bridge my account with bluesky to interact with a bluesky account bridged to fediverse.

True, but it's not that hard. It's still cool that you can communicate.https://fed.brid.gy/
