I know PixelFed exists but it's all just text and video and images at the end of the day - so what if the Mastodon interface just looked like Instagram and then you could sign in using your existing Mastodon account...

This is just hacked together real quick, but should I work on this to make it a real thing?

@matt love it, but 2 cents:
As a photographer I'm really picky about the stuff I want to show on a IG/portfolio style page. Because we photographers use those things to show our work around.
Which means, I'm probably not using this on my Mastodon account because of screenshots and other non-portfolio work.
But: that could be fixed by including or excluding specific hashtags. (or a gallery feature of Mastodon which would be rad).
-
@matt please do, and please make it compatible with akkoma, goto, etc please
@kariboka Now that makes it more of a challenge.

@matt this is really cool! i loved the idea
@edu Thanks

@matt NSFW image near the top of the feed
@dblack Yeah, sorry about that. It's ignoring the sensitivity markers rn. That could / should be fixed.
-
Rad! One suggestion: filter out "sensitive" photos until you have a UI to obscure them. I just saw some stuff lol
@nyquildotorg Haha. Fair point and yes, agreed. I didn't spend time on that part yet. Until then you get titties for free!

@sturmsucht That's an interesting challenge but I would imagine that if there was an app that looked and felt like an Instagram alternative then photographers signing up for the first time would use it just how you described.
There could be special features within the UI, such a giving users the option to curate their profile (your own posts that you've bookmarked) but that would only show for users of this new UI, not all Mastodon users. Does that make sense?

Okay, I might try and make this thing and if it happens, you can follow updates on @popapp

@matt @popapp If I remember correcly (and there's a good chance I don't), the photo sharing app @frequency by @jesseplusplus is based on Mastodon.
Maybe you can find some inspiration there? -

dansup@mastodon.social jesseplusplus@mastodon.social and I are planning on doing some work together re: private group discussions down the line. Should be interesting!
Since Pop is a Mastodon fork(?) it’d be compatible with whatever changes are made to Decodon/frequency too.
