  • Pixelix too. Totally worth either buying on the Play store or tossing a donation to the devs. They're really awesome. If you have features you want, they're really responsive if you send a message.

    I think for me, I'm just missing push notifications, story support, and boosts in the home TL. I don't think the first two are possible without some work from Dansup, unfortunately.

    • I would be happy with polled notifications too, where the app checks nor notifications every 1 hour

  • Same one

  • I've been alternating between the mobile website and the official Android app since the launch of Pixelfed.ca. I'm leaning towards the website due to some deficiencies in the official app:

    • Lots of random crashes. I can't reliably replicate this, so I can't say for sure what causes it. I'm using a Google Pixel 9 Pro on Android 15.
    • There might be some user error here, but I can't get the media editor to work when creating posts. On the New Post screen, I enabled the media editor in the settings menu. I am not given any kind of editing options after selecting an image to upload.
    • No suggestions when typing hashtags.
    • No global feed.

    Overall, I'm really enjoying my Pixelfed experience despite the growing pains associated with using a new instance.

  • I tried to use the official app, but it claims my instance (metapixl.com) isn't on the latest version and won't let me connect to it. Pixelix works just fine, though.
