Almost all social apps are about algorithmic feed suggesting content from people you don’t know. Facebook is one of the few app that are still about personal connection. I can’t remember a single person i interacted with usernames on apps like lemmy

Yes, it make sens

I guess that mean it shows in the feed but not in the profile. I wish it that possible to create collection of other people pictures

Sorry, i forgot to mention that i’m talking about pixelfed

so i’ll ask you back: what do you want from an “instagram-like fedi app”?

A less buggy Pixelfed like app created by developers who really pay attention to user feedback. The platform should have a simple grid structure with no overlay text just the image. The default feed should be a chronological feed and lets users create collections of both their own and other people’s photos. Comments and likes appear on the side when you click on an image and no stupid very limited characters limit like all the twitter like apps. Finally, all of your photos should be easily transferred during the migration procedure to another server. Otherwise people will just pick the biggest instances.

All the fediverse app you mentionned are microblogging apps. Do you know any instagram like fedi app as an alternstive to pixelfed?

Here, the issue. People don’t feel like small instances would live for long and migrating do not transfer the old posts so people feel more safe subscribing to the large instances
