I am on it. It’s pretty neat. Think of what instagram should have been.

I’ve just started using it recently and so far I like what I see. It’s pretty straight forward, you post a photo and make a little blurb about it if you want. interface is good, and there are Android and iOS (in Test Flight right now) clients. As far as I’ve seen, the iOS client works just fine even though it’s in Test Flight.
Worth a try if you want something like Instagram without it being associated with Facebook.

It was one of my socials when i used to post art. It’s been a while, and my insights are extremely limited because i never used to get any engagement on any social media, let alone Pixelfed, so i’m missing litterally most of the experience.

Anyway

I remember it being really simple and usable. Nothing ever broke and i really liked the interface. I have no idea how federation with other social networks is supposed to work, you don’t see any Pixelfed posts on Mastodon or the opposite.

Frankly, it’s probably the same as the rest of the fediverse: better in every way, but no one uses it.

I setup a single user pixelfed server for myself, so far the UI is pretty nice, I like it more than Mastodon, and self hosting was probably a lot harder than it in needed to be. I haven’t tried viewing my Lemmy posts from there, but I can look at stuff from Mastodon & visa-versa. I don’t I’ve gotten it to federate properly so I can’t say how the community there is, but look at the trending posts on pixelfed.social and pixelfed.art, it seems to be mostly photography right now.
