Yes, I have a user on pixelfed.social. I like it, and use it daily.
It is kind of like Instagram, but in the fediverse and is open source.
A cool feature Pixelfed has is the ability to follow hashtags, so your home feed will be a mix between posts from the users you follow and the hashtags you follow.

ability to follow hashtags

Are hash tags working for you? Whenever I click on a hash tag, it takes me to a missing page.

Yes, the hashtag feature works for me. Are you logged in to Pixelfed? It seems like you have to be logged in to be able to see the hashtag feed.

Hmm.. that may be the case on some instances (e.g. pixelfed.social), but I know an account is not required on others because I’ve tested it on several instances without registering. The only one it breaks on is pixelfed.social, which unfortunately is also the largest instance.

But still good to know, thanks for pointing that out. It’s too bad the unauthenticated discovery is still broken, though.
