Discord is a likely contender, but I think it’s likely to be Instagram. It’s got a very dissatisfied userbase, and there’s already a few reasonably active pixelfed servers
I’m not very familiar with Instagram either, but it’s infamously bad for its users’ mental health, it’s recommendatiom algorithm is unreliable, and it collects a lot of data. Honestly it’s possible that a lot of its regular users do like it and that I just don’t tend to hear from them
As others have said, ads. The app is also overrun with spambots posting links to scams to buy followers or ForEx or whatever they’re selling. The algorithm is really, really bad, at least if you’re an artist of any kind. IG was one of the first apps to attempt to steal TikTok’s short-form video format, which means it’s hard to get your content out there if you’re just posting images. And there are a LOT of content reposters.
I really don’t understand where you’re getting this from. Because, at least my Instagram, is thriving. Honestly, I see so much wonderful art on it every day, it’s ridiculous. I also follow many news outlets, magazines on it. The platform has never been better. Also, it has the advantage of having my entire professional and social circles on it. Everyone I know is using it daily, interact with each other.
Also, you can hide that barrage of reels very easily. Just tap […] on a suggested reel, then tap “Disable suggestions for a month”. It does exactly what it says.

Why is (part of) their userbase dissatisfied? I know almost nothing of instagram.

Ads upon ads upon ads. And then for some it is just that it is owned by Facebook.

Yeah I’m loving pixelfed way more than IG
