If you're looking for a Flickr-style photography platform on the Fediverse, there's one in beta testing called Vernissage:

➡️ https://joinvernissage.org

Bear in mind it's still in testing, so it may not all work properly yet. You can follow the latest news on its official account:

➡️ @vernissage@mastodon.social

Vernissage is part of the Fediverse so you can also use it to view photos and follow photographers from Mastodon, Pixelfed and other Fedi platforms.

p.s. The name "Vernissage" may cause some confusion as it was used for two totally different projects, so here's an explanation to hopefully make things clearer:

- The developer makes two Fediverse things: an independent photography platform called Vernissage, and a third party Pixelfed app called Impressia

- The Pixelfed app used to be called "Vernissage" but is now called "Impressia"

- If you want more info about Impressia, you can follow it at @impressia@mastodon.social

p.p.s. People are going to inevitably ask how this compares to Pixelfed. This is my take:

- Pixelfed is an Instagram-style social network platform based around images and short videos

- Vernissage is a Flickr-style photography platform for exploring still photos as an art form

Please feel free to correct if this is wrong.

@FediTips@social.growyourown.services And to further clarify (obfuscate?), you can use the Impressia app to browse Pixelfed, giving you a more Flickr-like, text-less experience than its interface.

I'm not in a position to talk from experience of usage, but Vernissage seems to be the one to use if EXIF meta data matters to you and Pixelfed if you only want images

@FediTips@social.growyourown.services videos are very rare on pixelfed

@FediTips@social.growyourown.services This has always been how I think about it

While both platforms would probably argue they're both, I think this is where each product shines and this is how I use them personally
