Pixelfed is like Instagram, but without ads, tracking, or algorithms deciding what you see. Your timeline is completely chronological, so you decide what appears. It's a place where you can share photos, follow people, and give likes or comments, all without your data being sold.
The platform is open source and part of the Fediverse, a network of connected social media platforms. This means you can interact with people on other platforms, like Mastodon or PeerTube, directly from Pixelfed.
Pixelfed is made up of different independent servers, each with its own theme or community. You can choose which server to join, or even start your own, making it easy to find a community that fits you
The idea behind Pixelfed is to make social media truly social again, driven by people instead of algorithms or ads. The focus is on creativity, freedom, and honest online interaction
