Chevereto Free VS PixelFed

I had somewhat of the same issue, and ended up using chevereto free. It has a very customizable web interface and supports user accounts. It saves pictures with thumbnails so you have to do some deleting when you want to take them elsewhere, but otherwise it works really well! Here is the link to the repo. Found this thread asking somewhat of the same question here

I've used this in the past: https://github.com/rodber/chevereto-free

Use the official Docker package: https://github.com/rodber/chevereto-free/pkgs/container/chevereto-free

wrong tool, check with https://github.com/rodber/chevereto-free or similiar

When you mention Chevereto I think that you meant the Chevereto-Free software (as you list only Open/Free Software in the comparison). That one has +2K stars :) and the repo you linked is for our container bootstrap dev standar (V3, V4) for our paid software. Chevereto-Free got Docker support recently, the package is here: https://github.com/rodber/chevereto-free/pkgs/container/chevereto-free

Note: The repo will be still available at https://github.com/chevereto/Chevereto-Free

Currently contributing to Pixelfed project to gain experience: https://github.com/pixelfed/pixelfed/pulls?q=is%3Aclosed+is%...

I do post many pictures, but I am tempted to self-host Pixelfed as well as an Instagram alternative.

Is something like Pixelfed an option?

I'm not affiliated with the project, neither I consider it a panacea, but anyone who might be interested, here it is: https://pixelfed.org/ It's best to use the web browser with it, although there's an Android app for it (PixelDroid), and there is an official app for iOS and Android currently in beta.

You can suggest features on the project github https://github.com/pixelfed/pixelfed/issues

Contrary to initial expectations, Threads falls short in terms of embracing decentralization. Notably, the platform does not support the widely adopted ActivityPub protocol, which is essential for interoperability with other decentralized networks in the Fediverse. This absence prevents seamless interaction between Threads and existing platforms that adhere to decentralized principles, such as Mastodon and Pixelfed.

Fediverse, or 'federated universe' is the name given to the social media platforms that utilize this concept of federation and decentralization. While Lemmy and Mastodon are the most popular right now, there are many similar platforms. There is Peertube for example, which is a Youtube alternative, or Pixelfed, which is an instagram alternative. You can view a list of all such platforms on this site. Here's also a visual representation that might help.
