I’ve signed up on Pixelfed to give it a whirl β€” come say hi!

The first thing you see is the server list, a la Mastodon, so I don’t think it will take off with normies. It’s also really struggling with an influx of new users so it’s quite slow to navigate around. But still, we’ll see if it sticks for me.
