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.
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!
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.
