Every package Pixelfed depends on, ranked by repo health score.

Pixelfed is an open-source photo sharing platform that brings the Instagram-style experience to the Fediverse — a federated network of independent servers connected through the ActivityPub protocol. It lets individuals and communities run their own social photo platform without algorithmic feeds, advertising, or centralized data harvesting.

Built on Laravel and PHP, Pixelfed implements ActivityPub natively, allowing seamless interaction with users on Mastodon, Pleroma, PeerTube, and other federated services. Your followers and following relationships cross instance boundaries automatically, so joining one Pixelfed server doesn't wall you off from the broader Fediverse.

Pixelfed ships with a feature-complete admin panel, content moderation tools, a Mastodon-compatible API layer, OIDC authentication support, and an optional curated onboarding flow. It handles media processing through Intervention Image with libvips support, and stores assets on local disk or any S3-compatible object storage. The system runs entirely within a Docker Compose stack with isolated containers for the application, background queue workers, and the Laravel scheduler.

Since 2018 Pixelfed has grown to millions of users across thousands of independent instances, supported by NLnet Foundation and DigitalOcean, and ships regular releases roughly every two to four months with steady contributor activity.
