@reeeen Thanks and great question!

Early on, I emulated IG in the UI because I was still trying to feel out our own unique brand and feel.

As @pixelfed evolves, we're finding our own way and diverging from the "IG clone" mentality - still a ways to go but we're well on our way!

I love Instagram, and think if they do ever join the fedi that we can peacefully coexist!

@dansup @pixelfed I left IG years ago in spite of social interactions that were fruitful. But surveillance capitalism has been internalised through and through by that app. Luckily there's the fediverse. But still, coexistence is a beautiful thought, a plant that needs to be taken care of. So once more, thank you for driving this! I can see that you are not up for being the biggest player, but leaving room for everyone. That is very important.

@dansup @pixelfed I love pixelfed so much. I'm simply curious: Do you see an account-switching mechanism in the future? Or is there one and I somehow missed it?

dansup

@etsnyman @pixelfed Yes, we support account switching in our official app and look forward to bringing this feature to our web UI!

@dansup @pixelfed Thanks for the info! Pixelfed is full of amazing art, so I love having a break from the constant barrage of instagram.
