How to Move Your Instagram Feed to Pixelfed, the Photo App That Doesn't Track Your Every Move
The decentralized Instagram alternative is a great option if you want to back up your feed, focus on photo-sharing, or cut loose from Meta's empire entirely. And making the leap is surprisingly easy.

Interesting, is Pixelfed mature enough today? Do they support stories?
Ive been using Pixelfed since late June quite happily. I’ve never used stories, but it looks like they have them if that’s something that interests you:
More importantly, can I disable stories?
Yes, you can customize your pixelfed experience to a huge degree afaik

Good to know! I'm not big on them (or at Instagram as a whole to be honest), but I know that can be a deal-breaker for potential users
Stories feature is there. But I haven't used it myself, so I can't tell more about it.
