Gregory's ServerI know I’m an edge case, but @pixelfed’s iOS app becomes all the more awesome when you run your own server.
Why is that? Sweet, sweet freedom!

 @Retr0mantic You’ll need minimal technical skills once #SpaceHost gets up and running. I have 8 users on that server. But I don’t really look at local timeline. Most of my time is spent on Home Feed. Interesting fact: I’m hosting 990K posts on my @pixelfed server. It’s been online since last April. On a practical level, I prefer @pixelfed much, much more than Instagram. This is because I prefer what Instagram was back in 2012—but with some big improvements. For one thing, you can put active links in posts. Last I checked, you couldn’t do this on Instagram. @atomicpoet no, they still don’t let it. is irritating on Instagram (among loads of other irritating features) - “link in bio” 🥴 @Malditopelirrojo @pixelfed There's an Import from Instagram feature. See screenshot. Don't know of a tutorial, though. @atomicpoet @pixelfed I’m really looking forward to joining. I just haven’t had time to spin up an instance and if I’m going Fediverse for photos I want to continue being self hosted.  @atomicpoet @SummerKnight @pixelfed Hi, you can find the Android link on https://pixelfed.org/mobile-apps !  @Stark9837 @pixelfed Last I checked, it was something like 30GB with back-ups included. Thants nothing. I have more storage for my #3Dprinter. Abd they say #selfhosting is not possible. @Stark9837 @pixelfed To be frank, I used to host peerverse.space on Digital Ocean via Cloudron. But I have since migrated to #SpaceHost, which is a fully managed host that @reiver and I are building. |
@atomicpoet I would love my own server but have no technical skills in that department! Isn’t the local timeline dead if you’re the only one on it?
