But it's worth noting that Pixelfed is intended to be your own walled garden - there's no "here's my public photo stream" configuration. It's intended more like a friends-and-family thing.

That being said, it's open source, so there are hacks to make your stream public. But they're hacks, and you're not going to get that out of the box.

What do you mean? Here's my public photo stream: https://pixelfed.social/stavros

You can even follow me from your instance. You can't get more public than that.

Hey, they fixed it! It's amazing what 2 months can do. The previous version had some pretty borked handling of public timelines.

Having said that, it still requires a bit of hackery. There's no way to get rid of the home/landing page if there's the one user account, so you have to do a bit of php/apache/nginx/whatever magic to redirect past it to your user timeline.
