Fediverse

Pixelix just showed up on F-Droid two days ago, the dev open-sourced their code just recently. I find it to be a "better" (subjective :) ) client than PixelDroid after testing it for a bit. $0.02 to any readers. https://f-droid.org/en/packages/com.daniebeler.pfpixelix/

the official app is much slower and less polished than PixelDroid and Pixelix.

they do have their own F-droid repo, though https://fdroid.pixelfed.net/fdroid/repo

Apparently the official app has a few dependencies that themselves depend on Google Play services, hence being blocked for F-droid inclusion.

I used Obtainium to get it

Meta has changed their ToS. Prior, you could not accuse someone of being mentally ill without consequence. Now there is an exception allowing shitty people to accuse someone of being mentally ill if they are gay or trans. It's seriously fucked up.

Also, Mark Zuckerberg, the ostrich fucker, removed the fact checker from Meta services.

Pretty sure the official app has been in testing for a while. And I feel like I heard recently it's releasing a stable build.

In case I'm wrong though, there's always PixelDroid and the recently released Pixelix.

Also, like most fediverse apps, the first-party, official apps are always very basic and more of a proof-of-concept kind of thing. In most cases you'd be better served with third-party apps.

By blocking all mention of Pixelfed on their platforms.

@Evil_Shrubbery @korendian I hope they perish, a truely evil corp. They ones ecperimented with making folks depressed because depressed people are more sensitive to impulse buying.

I don't know about that app specifically, but I know some fediverse apps do not have all instances in their directory. For example, fedilab doesn't have friendica.world. I would suggest hunting around for an app that supports your instance, but I agree, it is a dumb problem. What is the point of being able to join whatever instance you want if it is not listed on the app?
