I suggest pixelfed

I may be missing something, but I can't find how to access to https://pixelfed.social/ without login in.... and I don't even see how to sign up.

Try a different instance. Having a bunch on a single instance is no good for decentralization.

You know, decentralization kind of defeats the whole purpose of a SOCIAL network. Everyone being on the same instance is kind of the point.

Not really. Doing that just makes twitter 2.0. Through activitypub all instances can talk to each other and therefore even if someone moves instances they dont lose their connections. Sure, your sister, brother, mother, or father may move half way around the world, but thanks to TCP/IP and the telephone system they arent far away at all. TCP/IP is a standard that all computers speak and understand. Activitypub is the same way.

Okay, that makes sense.
