    I was about to say, there’s this thing called PIXELFED!! Thanks for beating me to it! Like with other Federated services there are numerous PIxelfed instances:

    https://pixelfed.org/servers

    and a mobile app for iOS and Android

    https://pixelfed.org/mobile-apps

    As well as 3rd Party Apps - Pixeldroid and Fedilab on the Android side

    Tusker ( I thought that was beer) for iOS.

    And it all works on Mastodon (and related apps) as well
