    As with all the fediverse stuff, it feels like early Instagram when you weren’t bombarded by a million ads and celebrity bullshit all the time. It feels like a great community of amateur photographers coming together to share and be inspired again to take photos. That’s why I like it.

      Sounds great. How does sorting work on it? Is it just who you subscribe to and show what was the most recent?
