You can make albums of whatever you want. Influencers show off themselves and/or their products or services. One of my friends posts landscape photos. Another shares photos of photos (the Droste effect). Others post their artwork. Do it!
I was one of a bunch of people who got Instagram because my friends did and used it basically as “in real life social media”—use it to see what’s going on in the lives of people you know in real life, as a method of contacting some of them if you do not have their phone numbers, etc. Is there anyone using Pixelfed for that? I’d love to help support another Fediverse platform, but outside of just posting my personal stuff (and of course I would have to check privacy settings too) I’m not a photographer or influencer and feel I have no real reason to be using Pixelfed.
Although come to think of it, I wonder if Instagram was made for photographers first and then all the people trying to use it as just regular social media took it over. If it is private enough I might just put my personal stuff there anyways even with 0 followers, a Monthly Active User is a Monthly Active User, and eventually I’ll probably meet someone who uses Pixelfed in real life.

Well, guess I have something to do over the weekend.
