I really wish there was a good alternative for Instagram. I use it a lot to post my pictures, mostly as a journal to look at old memories. For browsing pictures and sharing with people it still has a relatively uncluttered interface. Lately they added a lot of cruft like IGTV that I would disable if I could but I haven't found a better app so far. Maybe Flickr?
Yeah, I used to love Flickr. It became another great victim of attention economy apps whose business models are based on exploitation of one of the basic human needs (I would say) - the need for drawing an attention. Pity.
Photos on iOS. It has shared and sharable galleries, even has the Memories app along with a lot of other cool stuff. If you want Snapchatty type stuff, there’s Clips.
Yea, I use this app already. Mostly for the editing part but the whole interface feels like an art project and for me always seems to be pretty annoying to navigate.
I'm carefully optimistic that at some point we'll get a IG alternative based on something like ActivityPub with different clients to connect to. One can always dream.
I’m already watching the Github project, I’m very excited about the project. I really hope there’ll be a good app at some point. Thanks for posting that again.
I think the app is the important part, building the best backend doesn’t help you if you don’t have any decent apps for iOS and Android.
That’s the problem that most new social networks have. I’m not using Mastodon because there’s no good looking iOS app. If Tweetbot would ship an app that works with Mastodon I would probably use it. Back when App.net was around some famous Twitter apps did just that but I think they got burned because it never took off and now nobody is doing it again until it’s more established.
