I’ve been using it for around 3 weeks and been having a great time. The home feed is so much cleaner than Instagram, especially without all the ads. Find a bunch of cool people to follow and enjoy!

I can also recommend the Vernissage app if you want a ultra clean feed.

is there a server for hosting art portfolios which has open registrations ?
in reply to Lily

@lily
I don't know of any art-themed ones. The pixelfed.art server was supposed to open quite a while ago, no idea why that hasn't happened.

However, there are many general themed servers where you could sign up?

@lily It looks like it did open, but now it's closed again and suggests mastodon.art instead. Does anyone know the story behind this? Seemed like a good idea.

I don't know, but guessing lack of resources/time with whoever was going to moderate it?

It is definitely a good idea, would be nice to know if there's anything that can be done to get it running!

@lily Yes, I guess moderation was the hard part, so I also understand that it wasn't viable in the long run.

Tusker is listed as a Mastodon app on the iOS store. Do you happen to know if it displays more than 4 photos when viewing Pixelfed accounts? (Alas, while my very favorite @MonaApp works with Pixelfed, it only displays 4 images.)
