Editing to let people know that I will be blocking anyone who feels the need to tell me why this graph is inaccurate. I truly don't care, but feel free to chime in with your useless take and land a spot on my block list! 🙂

    Because news broke that Meta lobbied for the TikTok ban. So people are now boycotting Meta platforms like Facebook and Instagram. Since Pixelfed is an Instagram clone and recently launched the app, it has gained a ton of popularity. The timing of the app launch honestly couldn’t have been better, because it gave all of the fleeing Instagram users a nice convenient place to land.

    I think it's been out for a while.

    Anyways, when I try to log into the main recommended server (where I already have an account), before I even get to the login page, it gives me this error

    Which is a pretty funny thing for the official app to say about the official main instance 🤣

    Instead I just installed the PWA from the browser. It works ok.
