As with all the fediverse stuff, it feels like early Instagram when you weren't bombarded by a million ads and celebrity bullshit all the time. It feels like a great community of amateur photographers coming together to share and be inspired again to take photos. That's why I like it.

Sounds great. How does sorting work on it? Is it just who you subscribe to and show what was the most recent?

[โ€“] Peafield@programming.dev 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah it's either the latest from who you follow, local timelines or the federated one.
