what I'd really love to see for #pixelfed is a more robust focus on the photography aspect and providing a better feed/gallery/image-sharing experience.

Collections is a good start, but it needs a ton of work to make it really useful (and usable). Instagram is missing decent curation tools, and that's something Pixelfed could fill the void on, too. innovation like that is being passed over in favor of poorly aping Instagram's worst features that are better left to other platforms.

sigh.
