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 couldn’t find it in the App Store. How do you get it?

Here’s the link. Oddly, it doesn’t show up for me either when I search for it.
Thanks!!
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.

how are they paying for the hosting?
Donations and NLNet grant, you can support Pixelfed yourself
I just installed and is pretty neat. Truly a photo first social media.
Wanted to add, I recently tried #pixelix for #pixelfed, and I might actually like this app better that the official.

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?
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.
I wonder if they were thinking like how before Reddit had image galleries, people would use imgur
It’s doable, but you might as well just upload it here. But for smaller albums, it would be a good idea.
I wish we could have multiple photos in posts here. Yes, we can put other photos in the description, but it would be nice to view all of them without opening the post.
What's the intended use case for Pixelfed?
Instagram replacement rather than Imgur
For that there is https://catbox.moe/ and https://imgbb.com/

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.

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

once again tried to register. this time, the biggest instance doesn't even load.
Rough.
I wonder how easy it is to spin up your own instance. Or course, that's out of reach for most non-technical folks.
It might help to pick a smaller instance.
pixey.org is a good one to try
