Funny thing, Pixelfed isn't even a competitor to Instagram in the very very strictest sense.

Pixelfed is a federated service for posting photos.

Instagram started out as a service for posting photos, but it has become this... thing. I don't even know anymore.

Instagram started out as a camera filter app. Then you could post pictures. When I first downloaded it to my iPhone 3 it was only a filter. I was very confused when I tried it again on android years later.
