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... a concept:
This is just hacked together real quick, but should I work on this to make it a real thing?
Okay, I might try and make this thing and if it happens, you can follow updates on @popapp

Since Pop is a Mastodon fork(?) it'd be compatible with whatever changes are made to Decodon/frequency too.
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).
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? 😅
For my understanding: the intention is a separate alternative photo centered view/app/service of a mastodon account, right? So, photo features are bound to Mastodon's image boundaries (like amount of images per post), but pimped with some ✨ 🌈 UI beauty 🌈 ✨?
Rad! One suggestion: filter out "sensitive" photos until you have a UI to obscure them. I just saw some stuff lol
I guess the latter...
(in which case I have no opinion about it - I'm not an Instagram nor a Pixelfed user)
For some people, this would negate a need for a PixelFed account.
And if there were an option to remove all screenshots or random stuff that I don’t want included in this Mastogram, it would be more than perfect.
