@pixelfed Stories missing and local and network feed enabled by default would be nice :) otherwise everything is looking great so far!
Tap or double tap to like would be sweet. More personal preference but I’d remove the top three icons top right corner and rearrange them within the bottom pages. Ex search in discover, settings under profile with messages as an example.

@pixelfed

Stories and dark mode :)

But otherwise the app is very good already!

@pixelfed when posting photos and looking at filters, some are missing the. The app crashes.

@pixelfed when is the app gonna be available to the teeming masses.

maique :prami:

@pixelfed Very first impression, need dark mode. There’s just no way I’ll use an app without it these days, especially when the web view works great in dark mode already. It’s just too bright. Obviously a personal opinion.

Chima. 🈵

@pixelfed joining the chorus and saying stories - that would be the single biggest feature I’d use.

Jimmy B. :linux:

@pixelfed It just crashes when trying to select a filter.

@pixelfed
- Stories
- Dark Mode
- Doubletap to like
- More visible public & federated timelines
- Full size pictures (with maybe a max-height)
- Possibility to use all camera lenses when taking a picture

@pixelfed the app looks pretty cool. :) thank you. for the missing features:
1. pinch zoom or any zoom for the photos in the timeline
2. add the app to share menu so people can share photo from whatever app they have. Like a have collection of photos in Photos and in Lightroom, and it wound nice to select a few photos right there, tap share and pick Pixelfed.

@pixelfed it’s really hard to follow people from other instances :-/

@pixelfed Biggest missing feature so far: an Android version. ;)

All joking aside, the screenshots and previews I'm seeing look really promising, I can't wait to give it a shot!

@pixelfed When I signed in it didn't ask for 2FA although I have it enabled.

In my opinion, the public and network feeds should be enabled by default, or at least the public feed .

Overall the app is really nice.

@pixelfed I find it unintuitive how to share an existing image from the gallery. A share function from the gallery would also be handy. But so far I like the app quite well

@pixelfed multi photo selection. If you want to create a post with several photos you have to select photo per photo and it takes a lot of clicks and time. Dark mode, double click to like a photo

yes, but not really

@pixelfed is public/network feed always marked “sensitive content” or is the function incredibly over used?

pixelfed

@Kowool By default public/network feed media is hidden. You can change this by navigating to Settings -> App Settings and uncheck `Hide feed media`!

@pixelfed I am missing adding a text to the foto, where do I see the he “alt text”?

@pixelfed every landscape photo I try to post is cut off at the top with black at the bottom. 😭

@pixelfed Is there an ETA on the Android version? Asking for a friend who is watching all the iOS kids having all these fun :blobcatcoffee:

Jon Henshaw

@pixelfed the most significant issue I've found is when you view comments and tap back to the feed, it shoots me up to the top of the feed. #pixelfedApp #askFedi

pixelfed

@henshaw We just pushed a new build that fixes that!

@pixelfed I haven’t figured out how to post photos from my library (which is the only way I post). I saw some replies suggesting it’s possible; if so I don’t think it’s obvious enough.

pixelfed

@andrewabernathy Open the camera and its on the bottom left, circled red in the attached image.

@pixelfed Thank you! I would lobby for a top-level plus button (or similar) instead, which prompts if you want to take a photo or choose from library.

Seems there’s no way to choose multiple photos from the library at once, and even once you have them, no way to reorder them. These would both be top requests from me.

Thanks!

David Chartier

@pixelfed Post-launch I think multiple accounts would be nice eventually.

Nass :unverified:

@pixelfed So far it’s amazing.

2 Things to improve :

When I activated the public and network feeds, I had to close and reopen the app for then to appear in the dropdown.

When I scroll through the featured posts, click on one of them, then click to go back to the home page, It takes me back to the beginning of the featured posts list.

1 Feature that is nice to have : Dark mode.

That being said,so far it’s an amazing reactive clean app :)

@pixelfed hi I can’t find a “register” button anywhere on pixelfed.social even though it’s mentioned in the help section??? Thanks!
