Pixelfed Instance
I opened a Pixelfed instance on https://pix.benpro.fr, my account is benoit.
If you have an Activity Pub software (like Mastodon) you can follow me with @benoit@pix.benpro.fr.
And a reminder that you can follow my blog posts with @benoit@blog.benpro.fr and my toots with @benoit@toots.benpro.fr.
I love Activity Pub.

Finally, if you're behind a HTTPS proxy doing the TLS termination you'll need to adapt your nginx configuration.
