Interesting, is Pixelfed mature enough today? Do they support stories?

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 year ago

Stories feature is there. But I haven't used it myself, so I can't tell more about it.

Ive been using Pixelfed since late June quite happily. I’ve never used stories, but it looks like they have them if that’s something that interests you:

More importantly, can I disable stories?

Yes, you can customize your pixelfed experience to a huge degree afaik

Edit: at least he says that you can disable it: https://mastodon.social/@dansup/110836670603821232

Good to know! I'm not big on them (or at Instagram as a whole to be honest), but I know that can be a deal-breaker for potential users
