I haven't figured out how to find good photographers to follow but my last two posts there has both gotten over 25 likes which is more than I used to get on Instagram so I guess that's something. My only complaint is how much they scale down my pictures and absolutely butcher the quality.
This is a setting by the admin of that Pixelfed instance. Try another instance, if you are unhappy with the quality.
Since storage costs money, does it allow the admin to offer tiered access to higher quality storage?
Not natively in Pixelfed.
Well damn. I already copied my entire Instagram library there so I guess I'll just deal with it.
Also consider that Instagram uses aggressive image compression and then you import from that to Pixelfed, which also does its own compression. No wonder the quality is questionable.
Have you tried adding an original image to Pixelfed?
No I mean the new pictures I've uploaded there since too.
