PixelFed VS bibliogram

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

There's https://pixelfed.org/

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?

https://pixelfed.org

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.

You can also host alternative frontends like Invidious, Whoogle or Bibliogram (or a different alternative frontend, there are many others such as nitter, etc. Just do a quick Duckduckgo search ;) )

Instagram will definitely limit your IP if it detects anything "fishy." For example, using inspect element to remove the login wall they place on their web interface gets you limited. If they suspect you are running a Bibliogram instance they will limit you.

Thanks, I just noticed that. I'm not on instagram, but I view it through https://bibliogram.art sometimes

Barinsta if you need app client with or without account . Bibliogram for web apps or page but without account Twidere for twitter or any mastadon client if you want to use account but I suggest Fritter now its awesome no need of account just follow your twitter follows there and you get all feeds without account

Lil' off-topic, but since you mentioned Instagram's hoops - there's an open source project, Bibliogram.art, that is essentially a website you can use to view Instagram content while holding as much of Facebook's tracking back as possible, which also results in there being minimal required interaction.
