I wish they would put the official app on F-Droid. I use PixelDroid, but it'd still be nice to try.
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.
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/
It has dark mode, btw.
I don't really use Instagram, but I might give Pixelfed a try. Does anyone know if it's also a left-wing echo chamber like Lemmy?
Impressive indeed
Both sites have different monthly active users numbers, but between 42k and 52k is quite impressive
What are you supposed to put in the "server url" field in Pixelix? I put the instance I have an account on, because I don't have any other information that would make sense to put there, but nothing happens when I tap the arrow.
Also, what the fuck, fediverse. It's exactly this kind of bullshit that's why nobody joins you. Fix it for Christ's sake. Something this unintuitive doesn't even belong in a beta build. If I was a paid instagram plant making this app to frustrate people into going back to instagram, this is the splash screen I'd use. Stop making it impossible to recommend you in good faith to people I like.
wow, it's really cool. I have also made an account on gram.social (pixelfed server). so far I am liking it :)
Oh no, Metas profits!! How will they live in a slightly better world now?
By blocking all mention of Pixelfed on their platforms.
Wow, how pathetic.
I can't say with a straight face that I didn't see this coming.
Gotta have an official app, that’s the only reason I made an account and posted anything.
At this rate, their user base will be larger than atoms are in the universe
Well atoms are pretty small so I'm guessing the user base is already bigger than them.
325,000 users? Had no idea.
And those are just the instances that show up. Nice!
