I was a member of the beta, and one thing that app really needs is a dark mode.
It has a dark mode now (on iOS, at least. Maybe they’ve got a different codebase for Android)Edit: Scratch that. Only the login flow has dark mode.
I hope they also add a feature for short video clips.
loops.video integration wen?
you gotta keep ’em separated
did you know the singer for the offspring came up with that line when he was working in lab- he was making petri dishes and you make them hot and then cool them to a certain temperature… so he was trying to wrap up and the petri dishes weren’t cooling down quickly enough, so he moved them all apart to allow air to flow between them and kept saying “you gotta keep em seperated” in his head, and then used this one riff they had while they were working on the album with that line. come out and play was the last song they made for that album
I thought this was shit post or copy pasta but I’ll be damned. He did come up with that line while cooling Erlenmeyer flasks.
yeah thats the ones
…when the Undertaker threw Mankind off hеll in a cell, and plummeted sixteen feet through an announcer’s table.
Hey, man, you talkin’ back to me?
Hey! Man you disrespectin’ me?
oooooOOOOOoooo!!! I didn’t even know about this. But yes.
I couldn’t find it in the App Store. How do you get it?
https://apps.apple.com/us/app/pixelfed/id1632519816
Here’s the link. Oddly, it doesn’t show up for me either when I search for it.
Thanks!!
The screencap in the article looks pretty dark to me? Is there something that needs to be dark that the example pic doesn’t show? Asking as someone that turns everything to dark mode.
As of now, the iOS app does not have a dark mode. Though, I believe the Android version does.
how are they paying for the hosting?
Donations and NLNet grant, you can support Pixelfed yourself
No dark mode, no use.
If all the things in the work queue, you’re balking on a COLOUR SCHEME?
That’s like stopping the construction crew for using the wrong colour work boots, man!
you’re balking on a COLOUR SCHEME
How can I not?? Dx
light mode gives me migraines dude. it’s more important than just a color preference.
It’s more like stopping the construction crew from painting your house a colour you hate. Which sounds more reasonable
No dark mode, no use.
BTW, work boot color is absolutely regulated depending on context. For example here in Germany, if you work in sterile or food-related industries then shoes are to be issued and used with a color that cannot inherently hide stains by the material you’re working with, to prevent accidentally carrying contaminations into other clean zones.
So yes, you would stop the construction crew for using the wrong color work boots.
Same for medical software. Green MUST be an approved green color, and same for red, as the wrong color can give wrong advice and may kill people.
No it isn’t, if a modern app doesn’t have dark-mode to protect your eyes Then it’s a health-hazard
I just installed and is pretty neat. Truly a photo first social media.
I have a Pixelfed account and have tried the app.
But I can’t actually make posts using it. Don’t know where the hiccup is.
Is Pixelfed an appropriate place to upload an image to share on Lemmy / Mastodon?
It’s doable, but you might as well just upload it here. But for smaller albums, it would be a good idea.
What’s the intended use case for Pixelfed?
It acts as a Instagram replacement (but is actually about photos and not videos)
loops.video is aiming for the video segment. Tho’ it seems like one app for pix and vids would be nifty.
Pixelfed does videos to, and I think federation with loops is planned
Whatever the usecase for Instagram is
I’ve been doing that exact thing, but only as long as the images would be Instagram-worthy in the first place. Not just temporary junk. I figure it’s probably more optimized for picture storage, since that’s the whole point right? Plus then I get it two places instead of one!
If you use the raw media link itself instead of the link to the post, it displays on Lemmy exactly the same as if you’d uploaded it here in the first place. So that’s nice.
Well that’s the neat part, you don’t! If you post on Pixelfed you’re already on Mastodon.
…I suppose you can reshare it if you want. Me, I just point people to my Pixelfed account on my Mastodon profile and vice versa.
once again tried to register. this time, the biggest instance doesn’t even load.
It might help to pick a smaller instance.
pixey.org is a good one to try
The Impressia for Pixelfed app has been serving me well the past 6 months.
I was wondering about that app as I saw the listing. I’m glad someone likes it.
That’s odd. I’ve had the app for like 3 months.
It’s as a reaction to the news about TikTok possibly being sold and people jumping to “Red Book”, the other Chinese platform. Maybe some people will read the TechCrunch article and consider Pixelfed.
I like pixel fed, but like all federated websites, it doesn’t have a lot of content yet.

Those are some nice pictures! Are they all yours? Btw, I do wonder if it’s possible to comment on pictures there from here @[email protected]
Just subbed. Maybe new pictures will pop up in my feed.
The beta, not sure how you missed that.
Damn, you are right. Now that you mention it, I did signup for the beta through their website. I just forgot.
its been on fdroid since last october, this is just the first official release on gplay and apple
That’s probably where I got it then.
Add me! https://pxlmo.com/jakelec
I’m a little underwhelmed by the iOS app itself, but the content is great
Hopefully Pixelfed continues to bloom into a solid community!
The app doesn’t really feel native, and doesn’t have features like clicking to enlarge an image. If it’s open source I’d look into helping though
Yeah I tried the beta before. I just got a new smartphone so I’m happy it’s available I the app store.
On that note, has anyone here gotten into the Surf (the Flipboard thing) beta? I got in, but the download link does not work, but from what I understand that’s supposed to turn into a whole-federation browser starting with the microblogging sites (Mastodon + Bluesky + Threads), so I wonder whether they’ll add support for Pixelfed et al in the future.
I’m still on the waitlist. Download link not working sounds weird
