Self-hosted Photo Library

Over time, I realised my photo collection is more than just files—it’s a record of my life, travels, and the people I care about. Trusting those memories to a commercial cloud service never sat right with me.

Instagram or Pixelfed?

Instagram came on the scene back in late 2010, I was a big user of the platform as an amateur photographer. I didn't boast a huge following, but the community was great to get involved with. It was easy to find like-minded people and to share your photos, get comments, good and bad, share techniques and so on. The community was large, so it was easy to connect with people; you could get your followers up, which meant more exposure, and the likes soon followed.
