Why is their top instance not compatible? Pixelfed.social gives me errors when I try to auth

I didn't get any error. Probably just overwhelmed by new users πŸ˜†

It is compatible. You need to jump through the email confirmation hoop before it’ll actually work with the app though. So if your account is new, that’s probably the reason.

Besides that, it could just be the mass influx of new users that are fleeing Instagram.

Probably a max exodus from Tiktokers who refuse to use Instagram.

Just need to check again later. I had this same error at first.
