I've been doing this side by side Pixelfed vs Instagram thing at the end of each month. I am posting the same content on both platforms, seeing what the differences look like in terms of engagement.
As I have said before, I've been tracking my followers, likes on each post, comments, and other calculated statistics on both my Pixelfed and Instagram account to see what the difference really is between using the two mediums.
The results? Well, we're 3 months into 2024 and I think there's some common trends I'm noticing.
Let's start with raw numbers.

Followers first.
I started the month with 115 followers on Pixelfed and 424 followers on Instagram. I begin April with 123 followers on Pixelfed and 447 on Insta.
Both went up as I kept posting regularly throughout the week. Which is good!
On both accounts I'm also responding to comments I receive to keep the interactions up as well.
So, let's shift over to comments.
Basically, year to date I'm getting about 2.5 comments on average on Insta. On Pixelfed? About 0.7 on average. Neither get a lot of comments, to be honest.
