That #Pixelfed is now in the Top 10 of most downloaded APPs in the USA, also means that we, as a Fediverse community, have to come together.

If you see a link somewhere, PLEASE support your PIXELFED server. Even when it is just with $2, $10 or $50.

Their operational costs are surely skyrocketing and we have to make sure that this does not become a Fediverse debacle but a Fediverse success story.

@paulschoe @jaredwhite what's the reason for this surge? Just the removal of moderation on Instagram?

The surge to move away from Instagram might indeed be the removal of moderations.

But the trend to move away from Instagram is already longer underway.

In particular, young people seem to favour authenticity over connections, engagement, and communication in commercialised posts.

@realestninja @paulschoe I think it's the combo of everything going on with Meta, plus the pending removal of TikTok in the U.S. This has everyone spooked and casting about for other spaces for content sharing.
