PixelFed

A free and ethical photo sharing platform
huginn says:

Is Instagram keeping you from growing your community because you don’t change your content to conform with algorithm changes every 12 seconds? As a content creator, if you are producing content but Instagram’s algorithm is slowing you down or reducing your reach, it’s time to migrate to a platform where the rules (and algorithm) don’t change all the time. Stop contributing to a platform that isn’t in sync with you and your community’s needs, and start contributing to one that better serves everyone.

Overview

Post your photos and videos to friends or the public, build albums and collections, all without being tracked by the platform or third-party analytics. Pixelfed is an ad-free photo and video sharing platform that allows users to follow people and discover new content more organically than on algorithm-based platforms like Instagram and TikTok. Based on a chronological feed instead of an algorithm, Pixelfed also aims to end the endless scrolling once you’ve caught up with your friends- although their Discover feature allows for endless discovery of new content.
