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

Edit: at least he says that you can disable it: https://mastodon.social/@dansup/110836670603821232
