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

I wasn't anticipating this attention for a few more months, but I'm ready 😎

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.

Yeah. Firefish is to Mastodon what Kbin is to Lemmy

Is there an android app?

ultrasquid@kbin.social · 2 pts · 2y (1 reply)

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

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 @pixelfed@mastodon.social 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.

@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…

signofzeta@lemmygrad.ml · 2 pts · 2y

Awesome! Now, if only I could move my Mastodon toots or PixelFed photos to another server. Sure, I can redirect my accounts, but then I’m stuck with the old content on another feed.

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

they got stories?

10EXP@sh.itjust.works · 2 pts · 2y (1 reply)

I am fairly certain they do.

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.
