(maybe mention limits for this particular instance?)
The admin of this instance is:
Create. Share. Discover.
{domain} is a website powered by Pixelfed, a free and libre open-source software platform for hosting your very own media-centric social media website. Create a profile on {appname} to start sharing your own photos and videos to anyone who follows you. With an account on {appname}, you can also browse a discovery feed of other profiles and posts, and follow other profiles to start seeing their posts in your own, chronologically-sorted timeline.
A free and ethical photo sharing platform.
Ad-free.
No ads in timelines, or anywhere else.
Chronological.
Timelines are properly ordered, with most recent posts first.
Transparent.
There are no complex or opaque algorithms that decide what you can see.
Privacy-respecting.
No 3rd-party analytics or tracking are included by default.
Human-focused.
Feel free to be yourself. The focus is on your posts, not your engagement.
Featureful.
Multiple ways to express yourself.
Part of a larger network of millions.
Unlike other networks, {domain} is just one website that is part of a larger network of websites that all speak the same protocol called ActivityPub. You can follow anyone across the wider network, regardless of whether they are on {appname} or on a completely different website. This works similarly to email, in much the same way you can message someone on Gmail even if you are using Outlook. This concept is known as federation.
Furthermore, you can also follow profiles on websites running completely different software than Pixelfed! Imagine if you could use your Instagram account to follow and interact with Twitter users or YouTube channels. With your Pixelfed account on {domain}, you can like posts from Mastodon users, or comment on Peertube videos. Thanks to the power of federation and ActivityPub, you can experience levels of interoperability between websites that you simply cannot achieve on traditional social media websites.
