cells VS PixelFed

Secure remote access can be facilitated through encrypted tunnels. VPNs, SSH, Cloudflare tunnel, SOCKS, etc. can all be secure ways of remotely accessing network resources. What you use will vary, depending upon the type of access you require and/or prefer. For file management, there are multiple tools for this task - Nextcloud, Seafile, Pydio, Sandstorm, FileRun, and more available for the choosing.

Pydio Cells (https://pydio.com/) is a great open-source selfhosted file sync and sharing alternative to Nextcloud. It supports, and strongly recommends the use of an S3 compatible storage backend. It actually works better with S3 storage than a normal file system storage. It's been completely rewritten in Go using microservices and APIs which makes it faster than Nextcloud (PHP) and Seafile (Python). I've tried it extensively in the last few months where I setup a Min.io S3 server for testing. Here is what I concluded: - Relatively easy to setup, with a step by step guides for Debian, Ubuntu etc. - Clear and well documented admin control panel. - Very clean GUI using Material Design. - Geared more towards enterprise users. - Works 100% with S3 storage.

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.
