Maybe someone can help me out. I'm in the app, is there a way to see a feed from all of pixelfed and not just local? I'm on pxlmo.com

On the top right is a user icon. Click that and then choose Global
That works for the browser, but not the app. Thank you!

Fediverse version of imgur?
Instagram IIRC
You got it right, like Friendica for FB

i used cro.pics and it, dissapeared?
Instagram was an inherently flawed platform. It was supposed to be for people to share artistic photos and portfolios but it was obviously abused for attention. People just post photos of text. This is the same. Limiting a platform to any specific type of media is dumb.
Most posts on my instance's local feed right now are from new accounts and 99% of them are photography and art. I saw one guy doing a typical poser selfie and just blocked him. It's looking good.
I encourage people to report any spam that does get posted though. Need to keep Pixelfed nice.
That's on your local feed. Presumably you joined the fediverse to federate with other instances. And since PixelFed federates with all sorts of other platforms, and refuses to be Pixelfed-only, inevitably a large number of those photos are not even intended to be artistic but informational. Not to mention the inevitable future of a platform that becomes even remotely popular.

But for the fediverse it is a fantastic Trojan horse to get people to join us.
