You don't need to sign up on pixelfed.social. There are lots of Pixelfed servers out there, and people on the Fediverse can follow you whichever one you choose.

The server pixelfed.social is getting really overcrowded right now, it's not healthy for the network or the server itself to have so many people on one server. I've had some reports on FediTips of federation not working properly from pixelfed.social, possibly due to the sheer number of people using it at once.

You can find other Pixelfed servers to sign up on at fedi.garden/tag/pixelfed and pixelfed.org/servers

Pixelfed is part of a wider social network called the Fediverse. You can follow Fediverse accounts in Pixelfed by pasting their Fediverse account addresses into the search box on Pixelfed.

There's a website at fedi.directory which lists lots of interesting accounts to follow on the Fediverse. Click on an account to see its profile, paste its address into the search box on Pixelfed if you want to follow it.

Note that you will only see posts from that account which have images or video clips attached, as Pixelfed doesn't support showing text-only posts.
