PixelFed

Product Overview:

Pixelfed is an open-source, federated platform that aims to provide an alternative to Instagram. As a self-hosted solution, Pixelfed allows users to host their own instance of the platform and connect with others who share similar interests and values. The project's goal is to create a decentralized social network where users can share photos and videos in a more private and community-driven manner.

Main Features:

1. Federated Platform: Pixelfed enables users to connect with others across different instances of the platform, fostering a sense of community and decentralization.
2. ActivityPub Support: The project supports ActivityPub, a standard for decentralized social networking, allowing for seamless interactions between different platforms.
3. Customizable: Users can customize their Pixelfed instance to fit their needs, with options for modifying themes, layouts, and more.
4. Open-Source: Pixelfed is licensed under the AGPL license, making it free and open-source for anyone to use, modify, or contribute to.
5. Communication Options: The project offers multiple communication channels, including Mastodon and email ([email protected]), to facilitate community engagement and feedback.

By embracing open-source principles and ActivityPub standards, Pixelfed aims to create a more decentralized and community-driven social network that prioritizes user privacy and control.
