Frequently Asked Questions
Will I lose my data when switching from LinkedIn?
No, most services allow you to export your data before closing your account. Follow the steps in our migration guide to safely transfer all your data to PixelFed.
Is PixelFed really more private than LinkedIn?
Yes, EU-based services like PixelFed must comply with GDPR, which provides stronger privacy protections. Your data won't be subject to US surveillance laws like the CLOUD Act.

Absolutely! We recommend running both services in parallel during the transition period to ensure everything is set up correctly before fully switching over.
