   Today is the 1 year anniversary of peerverse.space!

   That’s my very own @pixelfed server. It’s the Fediverse server I’ve managed for the longest time.

   Check out my bio: “I created this instance so that I could share what I love with complete and total freedom.”

   I wrote that a year ago, and it remains true even now.

   I was highly motivated to replace Instagram, and peerverse.space has done this in spades.

   Congrats to me! Long live peerverse.space!

     @aswath @atomicpoet @pixelfed Pixelfed is also about to release Stories, which is a huge deal as well

     @atomicpoet @pixelfed Sorry, I didn't phrase the q correctly. I am trying to understand your reasons what Pixelfed offers that Mastodon does not. I mentioned about me is to tell you I am unable to deduce by myself and need your input.

     @aswath Just as Mastodon is a federated alternative to Twitter, @pixelfed is a federated alternative to Instagram.

     Mastodon is a microblogging platform. @pixelfed is a photo gallery platform.

     Unlike Mastodon, @pixelfed lets you edit and apply filters to photos. You can also add custom licenses to your work and create your own portfolio too.

     Anyway, I highly recommend that you create accounts on other Fediverse alternatives so you can figure out what differentiates each of them.

     @atomicpoet @pixelfed Thanks. I do have an acct, but being a casual user, I didn't know abt filters & licensed portfolio.

     @atomicpoet
     Not into photography. Never used IG. Can you share some reasonings for posting to a pixelfed, rather than to a mastodon? Some UI elements? Thanks

     @aswath If you’re not into photography or short form video, then @pixelfed doesn’t matter. But it definitely matters to me.
