Editing to let people know that I will be blocking anyone who feels the need to tell me why this graph is inaccurate. I truly don't care, but feel free to chime in with your useless take and land a spot on my block list! ๐
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
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/
Apparently the official app has a few dependencies that themselves depend on Google Play services, hence being blocked for F-droid inclusion.
Happy to see!
I wondering what caused such jump.
They released an official all on the app stores
lol i search pixelfed and first result is Rednote, thanks Google play!
I just signed up after seeing an article saying links to the website are being blocked by Instagram (IIRC). I figured it must be worth looking into if they've gone that far
I tried self hosting Pixelfed but gave up because it wouldn't work. I'm used to Docker containers that are able to just start up by themselves, but the guide didn't work for me. Maybe it's time to try again.
Impressive indeed
Both sites have different monthly active users numbers, but between 42k and 52k is quite impressive
https://vernissage.photos/home may be better than Pixelfed. https://discuss.tchncs.de/post/28641458
Who pays for their servers?
wow, it's really cool. I have also made an account on gram.social (pixelfed server). so far I am liking it :)
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.
