Looks like Pixelfed's growth spurt is slowing down. Absent any new external stimuli I'm guessing it'll stabilize around 200K to 300K monthly active users -- over a hundredfold order of magnitude from what it was just a month ago.
Yeah not having stories is a huge shortcoming.
I don't even know the point is stories. Why not post... A picture or video directly?
People want transient videos that don't stay in the gallery.
Looking at my friends who use Instagram, it's basically for stuff that's either too many photos for a single post, so it's made into a themed story, or for stuff you wanna show off, even though it isn't quite good enough for it's own post, so it's on your profile for a bit, but not permanently.
