Isn't it just a Pixelfed instance but yellow?

possibly, but couldn't that be said about instagram and tiktok too?

I was legit asking if it just was a Pixelfed instance or a fork of the project with new features.

Same Dev, different product (name and features) , codebase maybe similar/same.

It is created by the samw dev as pixelfed - wouldn't be surprised if parts were reused to bootstrap quickly.
