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.

I got far enough on pixelfed.social to confirm my email address, now I just get a blank blue screen. Not an encouraging first impression. Perhaps I tried to join during a media-caused mad rush or something?
Perhaps, but pixelfed.social is said to be fine with the traffic as mentioned here. Did you try after some time? Were you able to get past it?
Problem seems to be the main site page doesn’t work on modern iOS, at least not with Lockdown Mode enabled. It loads fine on desktop, but not in any popular iOS browsers (all browser use the same underlying WebKit rendering tools from Apple anyway). That’s a bummer
