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.

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?

Weird, I don't see it. Instead, I see a bunch of proprietary apps. 1000046546

It's under the social feed.

Or maybe it can be because I have a Slovak account.

EDIT: It's 43rd in Slovakia.

Hopefully they can get the app to run well. It's seemingly shit on android right now. Unsure if it's something on my end.

[-] Ulrich@feddit.org 2 points 7 months ago

Most likely nothing to do with the app itself, just the server. As with any product that experiences sudden growth.

There's no way to follow a hash tag in the android app. That makes it pretty pointless imo.

I'm using the android app and I've found it decent. I think the UI/UX could use some quality of life improvements but it's a simple and straightforward app to use.

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?

For you maybe. I had to scroll to #79 to see it.

[-] Grandwolf319@sh.itjust.works 2 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

#130 for me, but I’m in Canada and I don’t think we’ve banned tick tok yet

Edit: in the social category it’s #15, not bad! Not bad at all!

Did filter on Social category? I'm pretty sure the screenshot is for Social.

[-] cm0002@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago

Gotta go by category, social media category specifically

With Play store Top Free across all categories, 79 is actually pretty good, even Amazon is "just" at 53

Does anyone know if you can only have one pixelfeed account per email address? I want to make one for personal use and one just my garden pictures?
