All those long nights working on backend scalability and performance improvements are about to be put to the test

Hope this gets Pixelfed the attention it deserves. The app has improved so much in the last few months.

Kbin/Lemmy is the only Fediverse thing I've been able to get into...Mastodon and Pixelfed just don't have the things/people I want to follow. I only use Mastodon here and there thanks to the bird.makeup instance which clones people's twitter accounts. If I didn't...that feed would be a ghost town...Is there one that clones Instagram for Pixelfed?

Defo check out firefish.social if you’re not into Mastodon. It’s got a lot of lovely features I wanted out of other mastodon apps.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Yeah. Firefish is to Mastodon what Kbin is to Lemmy

Cool, thanks for the info!

Is there an android app?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Yes, but it isn't on f-droid or google play.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

The apps are listed on the official website. The official app is in public beta, but I hope it gets a public release soon. You can follow @[email protected] on mastodon for updates. There are also 3rd party apps, but I haven't tried any.

Pixelfed for iOS (Beta) still refuses to upload any of my photos from my iPhone.

Thanks for this, registered on the .de site and the app seems to work. Now to post some photos....

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

@bady i haven’t used instagram in some years, it i still have a lot of photos and memories saved there from way back when. i might do this…

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

they got stories?

[–] 10EXP 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I am fairly certain they do.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

The backend capabilities are there. The front end for the Web view must be enabled by the admin and the mobile apps currently lack the feature.

Has this actually worked for anyone? I click on Review Uploads and the website either crashed or nothing happens.
