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

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

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