Looks like Pixelfed's growth spurt is slowing down. Absent any new external stimuli I'm guessing it'll stabilize around 200K to 300K monthly active users -- over a hundredfold order of magnitude from what it was just a month ago.

I've installed it and looked around, I don't get it. It's random people's pictures.

The app is still doo doo. I end up just going on Firefox on my phone

Like a lot of fediverse experiences - the initial need to pick a server is deeply problematic for new users.

Why pick one server over the other? How do get I, (pretending) as someone with no idea about the fediverse, get informed about this choice.

If I take a gamble, then I can’t log in using my mastodon account. Then the login fails with others.

I was happy to persevere, my partner not so much.

The thing is that picking a sever is kind of neat but it’s so tech-centric at the moment when it should be community-centric. A quick blurb about the community and their vibe/ideology would go a long way. Maybe a quick preview of some random content? Instead we’re playing a guessing game with a url.

But hey, it’s early days and these things will improve because we can all pitch in to help be the change.

PixelNest is millions better than the Pixelfed app.

I'm out of the loop, what happened in January to cause that sudden growth?

I have an account but I'm not active. Just not much of a social media guy in general.
