There is pixelfed coming (https://pixelfed.org/) as well as https://github.com/yabirgb/zinat and https://github.com/beta-phenylethylamine/fontina - all with the aim of bringing an Instagram-like experience to the fediverse. And the good news is, they will all be compatible with each other, and the rest of the ActivityPub network too (yes, that means Diaspora will not be federating, at least not yet).
I don't know about Snapchat, but you are looking for Pixelfed. You can find open instances at e.g. The-Federation.info.
​
Privacytools.io isn't going to host an instance due to most of privacy minded people being unlikely to take photos much, I heard this in the chat when I asked for opinions on it.
Avis à la population libriste et curieuse. Pixelfed, l'appli libre et decentralisé de partage de photo (Lien) fête ses 3 ans et sort une version 0.11

About Mastodon, i'd say what i love and makes IMO Instagram a good product is that "photos only feel". I could post on Mastodon but that's not really the point. I love the fact to connect with people only via images. There is an organic and emotional feel about it that is not really comparable with the more cold and intellectual feel of a text feed filled with links and condensed information in text form, see what i mean?
Believe it or not we are in for new social network. Just raising another centralised service won't help though. Nobody's going to sign up another company's photo sharing website.
This time it has to be decentralised. By the people, for the people. Community moderated. This is something we need not some company's product because eventually they optimise there product for Ad revenue.
Edit:
PixelFed is one such service.
Ci tengo a dire che esistono Social Network in cui queste cose non succedono.
Questa cosa é inaccettabile, ma non deve farci chiudere le nostre attività sui Social. Quello che invece dovremmo fare é "migrare verso altri lidi". Da un annetto ormai mi sono iscritto a Mastodon che é l'alternativa a Twitter e mi sono trovato benissimo. Inoltre negli ultimi mesi é stato sviluppato un social che puó sostituire Instagram, che é esente da pubblicità e dove queste cose non succederanno mai: si chiama pixelfed(login), é ancora in beta ma già usabile.
Une instance Pixelfed + compte feraient le taf je pense. Sinon Flickr/Smugmug mais c'est peut-être overkill pour ce que tu veux faire.
Sinon les dessins sont cool, ta fille a de la chance !
If you look closely , there is they differ in their own ways
The beauty of both is its not centralized and you could choose a public instance or selfhost yourselfs
If you are interested you can also check out https://pixelfed.org/ It's announced to come online in the end of the month. Maybe a little help can be given to this project, looks great. Can't wait to see what they will come up with !
> a platform for sharing artwork with as much freedoms on NSFW artwork and uncensored artwork as possible provided they are legal
You are looking for Pixelfed - it's software you can self-host. As long as you obey your hosting provider's terms of service/acceptable use policies, you're free to do what you want:
That makes sense -- Although you could also consider setting up a small image gallery in a un-advertised web site. A Blog page would work, or an account at one of the image sharing places.
That could save you image Quota as well - Slowly only allows 10 images for every 12 hour cycle. But I understand, and the choice is yours.
Maybe use a PixelFed account ? it is not under corporate control, and no one will try to steal your content and use it under they own hard cooked terms of usage (Instagram for example, is ridiculous -- why agree to that ?)
Pixelfed : https://pixelfed.org/
Making a quick search on alternativeto.net, I found PixelFed and Filtergram (which the official link at filtergram.app seems to be down, but the github repo is still there).
Instagram is indeed really great for self-promotion but I can't help but feel this is all a giant circle-jerk. Users stay to follow their favourite brands and creators and the companies stay and pay for ads because they have their audience on this platform. Nobody wants to move away first and there's also really no other place to go.
Alternatives like https://pixelfed.org/ won't appeal to mass audiences and make discovery a lot harder than a centralised service - but any centralised service can be bought by facebook again.
Granted! Facebook scrambles for a way to keep legitimacy, discovers Pixelfed and proceeds to buy it out. Facebook then introduces "protocol extensions", slowly at first, but soon rapidly, changing the protocol used completely every week or so to kick off everything except its own dedicated client and server programs. (Since they bought Pixelfed, they don't need to share these server programs with anyone.) This move completely kills the Fediverse, leaving us worse off than before.
Für alle, die das ursprüngliche Prinzip von Instagram, aber nicht die Plattform mögen, lohnt sich ein Blick auf Pixfelfed. https://pixelfed.org/ Das ist ein föderierter Service zum Bilder teilen, also jeder kann theoretisch eine eigene Instanz auf seinem eigenen Server betreiben. Hat halt natürlich nicht die große Anzahl an Nutzer:innen, aber für kleine Hobbyprojekte ist es bestimmt ziemlich nett.
don't blame you, for that. many people just assume that anyone can become a so-called "influencer" and all you do is post pictures and stuff etc. but the reality is that it takes years and years, and only very, very few people can actually do it as a full-time job, they mainly earn money through other means. I would not get hung up over engagement or any of that stuff, just keep content organised and stick to some posting schedule that you see fit.
Id also have a look at other platforms vero is 1 platform which is like Instagram on steroids, then there are more open platforms such as pixelfed. There are options, but I would just keep account settings and following small and simple.
>A free and ethical photo sharing platform.
[Users like you provide all of the content and decide, through voting, what's good and what's junk.]
I suggest starting a gradual approach - it is not possible to "solve" this immediately and at once. Here is what I did:
1. Set up local storage
2. Set up Nextcloud Sync
3. Start Creating Albums
Why directories? This is the most versatile, flexible and future proof method. It will be compatible to workflows in 10+ years.
4. Set up Photo viewer for users
I used Photoview. Link your Archive, Album, and Nextcloud Photo upload folders as read-only to this app. It will provide users with 1) a list of time-sorted photos 2) face-recognition 3) album-sorted view. If you want something more individual photo focused, set up PixelFed - although this makes only sense in non-local network context photo sharing.
There are two projects I would mention in the same spirit:
While I think photoprism has a very similar scope, pixelfed has stronger emphasis on federation. The project website gives a nice overview over different providers:
> I'm giving them my permission to use my data, but not other third parties
You are misunderstanding, the TOS will clearly layout when, and how they can give or sell your data to 3rd parties.
I use [pixelfed])https://pixelfed.org/) as an alternative to Instagram. I've never run into the issues you mention with signal, it's been pretty rock solid for me.
The best all around solution would be some kind of DNS level blocking, I like {pi-hole](https://pi-hole.net/) of course this would only work on your network.
You can do similar things to what pi-hole does on a rooted Android.
This partly why I don't use Instagram the other issue is they don't care about inactive accounts that have no posts or profile pictures and just have a mass load of bots and other inactive accounts following inactive accounts. Even when you point it out to them, you get a canned response from a bot.
Get onto pixelfed it's much better
If you're wanting to run your own server, then I'd recommend either Nextcloud or Pixelfed. The latter is more geared towards being social around photos, although you could reasonably appropriate it for personal use only.
I don't need to give folks access to my photos or any social features, so I use a folder on my computer and sync it with Nextcloud. To interact with the photos I just use Shotwell on Ubuntu
I don't use Flickr nor this one but here there is some alternative to Flickr, and I think this one is maybe what you are looking for: https://pixelfed.org/
A free alternative that imo should be used much more is pixelfed.
Like with email there are multiple providers, you can even set up your own server if you want, but they all can talk to each other.
>Can’t find that app on iOS
It's a relatively new project, and as any free project they lack money/volunteer to build an app (I believe this is their top priority for the moment)
> There is nothing redeemable about it.
Well I think you should treat it as friend-social network (like snapchat) for best results. Alternative I would recommend checking out Pixelfed which has much better photo support and a small niche photographer community already! It doesn't crop or over-compress your photos and works great on desktop!
It basically started with mastoron, so the backend is kinda like twitter but you can do everything with it, but it can power things that are not like twitter like pixelfed.org and there were already reddit like projects.
While the main instance mastodon is also quite sucked into the same issue as reddit, no one stops anyone from making a own instance. Even the extreme right platform gab did that, it is also mastodon based.
Hehe! Instragram is owned by Facebook so when you chose the Facebook list it also removed Instragram.
>maybe i stop using it now ^^
Great idea!
FYI Pixelfed is a great FOSS federated alternative.
Working on controlling urges. Currently my distraction methods are: Watching shows, programming, browsing PixelFed (an instagram-like website), and reddit. I'm thinking about dropping reddit for a while while I start off, or at least limiting my time spent here.
There is a growing group of people developing and using more decentralised social networks, that are more volunteer and collectively run as a way to get away from corporate-run social media.
I know there is pixelfed specifically for displaying art and photography: https://pixelfed.org/
Mastodon (and the ActivityPub network more broadly) is approaching a million users and Jack finally feels threatened.
This will get censored on twitter, obviously
En cherchant des serveirs mastodons pour aller voir ce qu'il s'y passe j'ai également découvert l'existence de pixelfed qui permet de partager des images (voir des petites vidéos) de façon décentralisée, peut être une alternative à imgur et instagram https://pixelfed.org/
According to privacytools.io, PixelFed is a good alternative.
Anything that is decentralised and doesn't focus its direction upon making profits from its user's data is a better alternative than all mainstream social media platforms
What do you think about /r/Pixelfed then? It is compatible with /r/Mastodon, and /r/Peertube, and the /r/Fediverse in general
Reply if you have questions!
Check out https://pixelfed.org/ if you want total control over your data. You can even self host it if you're technically inclined.
Sadly most people just aren't interesting enough to warrant daily posts, hence the nonsense posted. Personally if I want to see real mundane boring life I can just stick my head out of the window.
Besides the psychological problems (see the sky rocketing cases of suicide and mental issues generation z have) you're also wilfully giving your pictures to Facebook to do all sorts of creepy stuff with, tagged and all. Especially in these days of deep fakes you should be very wary of posting pictures of yourself and your kids willy nilly.
Well, this kind of thing continually happens. That's why things like Pixelfed (and a live site here) will be the future. Decentralized tech is the only way to ensure you won't get screwed -- its always only going to be a matter of time before anything centralized gets corrupted or pressured into something.
ActivityPub and the Fediverse are the only sane options for this kind of thing.
