Pixelfed Users - Thoughts so far? (lemmi.social)

I’m using the Test Flight beta app, curious on others’ overall experience with the platform so far. I never had an Instagram account so I’m not really sure yet what I even want from it. I’m just excited on all things Fediverse and I’m happy to be part of the growing numbers.

Any tips for content discovery? Seemed like that was the limiting factor off the bat, I like to start new platforms with the equivalent of a trending or all, didn’t seem to have that here.

Happy to take links for your favorite users that deserve a follow!

The official Android app is buggy (though it is beta), the content and creators are lacking, and it's hard to find actual Pixelfed instance accounts for the things I want instead of a federated account from Mastodon, etc.

That being said, I've been using it for several months and like it. I'd be using it a lot more if it had more people and content and better discovery. FYI, I've long since deleted my Instagram account so I'm just patiently waiting for Pixelfed to pop off like Mastodon and Lemmy.
