I almost never look at the app store but I popped in today in the wake of the TikTok ban and was shocked to see this.
Hopefully they can get the app to run well. It's seemingly shit on android right now. Unsure if it's something on my end.
Looks cool! But I'm confused about the hashtags. I followed a bunch but my home feed hasn't changed at all. What's the point of following hashtags?
They should populate your home feed. Mine do. Could be because the site's been a bit wobbly today...?
Edit: actually, it might only work for new posts with those tags!
You're right! Only new posts come up! I followed some more general tags and started getting posts. Thanks!
I've been loving it. One thing that has to be fixed immediately. You can't click on links inside the post descriptions. I want to follow the link that goes to a news article or website for the sale of a product but I can't click the link or even copy text on mobile.
Devastating
Another shitty "feature" brought over from Instagram, I suppose.
As someone who doesn't use these platforms (except Twitter), why does Pixelfed's UI look just like Instagram, and why does Bluesky's UI look just like Twitter? Are they just cut/paste copies?
Weird, I don't see it. Instead, I see a bunch of proprietary apps.
It's under the social feed.
Or maybe it can be because I have a Slovak account.
EDIT: It's 43rd in Slovakia.
How does privacy work with it? In my mind I’d think it’d be terrible because everything is federated. Not something I care about with lemmy, but pictures are a different story.
I've never used the official app for PixelFed, I'm just on Fedilab for both it and Mastodon... is the PixelFed app worth a look?
It's pretty terrible tbh, I keep having to go back to the browser.
Give Fedilab a try. I've been using it for about a year now; it's been pretty smooth and straight forward.
