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.

The Pixelfed app isn’t very good right now compared to instagram was when it wasn’t terrible. Hope that Dan hires an actual UX designer to update the app with his kickstarter money. And that he can integrate loops with it as well.

Yeah not having stories is a huge shortcoming.

I don't even know the point is stories. Why not post... A picture or video directly?

Looking at my friends who use Instagram, it's basically for stuff that's either too many photos for a single post, so it's made into a themed story, or for stuff you wanna show off, even though it isn't quite good enough for it's own post, so it's on your profile for a bit, but not permanently.
