# PixelFed: Federated Image Sharing
|
|
|
|
PixelFed is a federated social image sharing platform, similar to Instagram.
|
|
Federation is done using the [ActivityPub](https://activitypub.rocks/) protocol,
|
|
which is used by [Mastodon](http://joinmastodon.org/), [PeerTube](https://joinpeertube.org/en/),
|
|
[Pleroma](https://pleroma.social/), and more. Through ActivityPub PixelFed can share
|
|
and interact with these platforms, as well as other instances of PixelFed.
|
|
|
|
**_Please note this is alpha software, not recommended for production use,
|
|
and federation is not supported yet._**
|
