What's the intended use case for Pixelfed?
Instagram replacement rather than Imgur
For that there is https://catbox.moe/ and https://imgbb.com/
Pixelfed can be used as image hoster likewise, those 2 you mention are proprietary, so if one cared about that, they might prefer Pixelfed
It acts as a Instagram replacement (but is actually about photos and not videos)
loops.video is aiming for the video segment. Tho' it seems like one app for pix and vids would be nifty.
Pixelfed does videos to, and I think federation with loops is planned
I hadn't tried vids! Ok, it could get a whole lot weirder, and/or more informative.
Whatever the usecase for Instagram is
