Pixelfed is a free and open-source image-sharing social network service that you can self-host on your Raspberry Pi. With its image sharing functionality it is very much a self-hosted alternative to Instagram.
It works similar to Mastodon in that it operates using the ActivityPub protocol. This allows multiple Pixelfed servers to talk with each other and create a much larger social network.
Please note that you must have a domain name that you can use for your Pixelfed installation. Additionally, you will need to be able to open ports 80 and 443 on your router to allow access to Pixelfed. This is required for Pixelfed to work properly and for the SSL certificates to be generated for your domain name.
