This is exciting stuff!

This is awesome! Pixelfed for Android auto-discovers my self-hosted instance!

I'm in! Pixelfed for Android is looking fresh as a daisy!

And I can see my posts without a hitch!

I really am excited about this!

Adding a photo on Pixelfed. I'm liking the crop.

Yes, this was my lunch 😋

And of course, what would Pixelfed be without fun filters?

Adding a caption to my Pixelfed post!

Pixelfed's Discover feed is looking sharp!

And here's the view of my Pixelfed notifications. It's not grabbing all of them, but it's looking good.

Now trying hashtag search. Here's photos tagged with #Vancouver.

Pixelfed definitely has my hometown covered.

I'm looking at a post from @Miss604.

She posted this on Mastodon. You can even see her username that says mastodon.social.

But because this is the Fediverse, Pixelfed can see images posted from Mastodon!

Looks like I'm the first person to comment on @Miss604's photo.

I got to let her know it's looking good!

Hope she doesn't mind the shout out on Pixelfed 😉

First impressions of Pixelfed for Android:

1. Simple and easy
2. Nice discovery
3. Love the filters and editing
4. Nice to see federation work seamless
5. Has noticeable lag, but I'm sure this will be improved with time

Definitely a great replacement for Instagram!
