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.
Looks cool! But I'm confused about the hashtags. I followed a bunch but my home feed hasn't changed at all. What's the point of following hashtags?
They should populate your home feed. Mine do. Could be because the site's been a bit wobbly today...?
Edit: actually, it might only work for new posts with those tags!
You're right! Only new posts come up! I followed some more general tags and started getting posts. Thanks!
I've been loving it. One thing that has to be fixed immediately. You can't click on links inside the post descriptions. I want to follow the link that goes to a news article or website for the sale of a product but I can't click the link or even copy text on mobile.
Devastating
Another shitty "feature" brought over from Instagram, I suppose.
For you maybe. I had to scroll to #79 to see it.
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
Did filter on Social category? I'm pretty sure the screenshot is for Social.
Really? That's weird...
E: this is the top free apps under the social category.
Much like Google search results, it's probably tailored to be more relevant to each person.
The "top" apps shouldn't be relevant to anyone but I guess I shouldn't be surprised Google is just lying again.
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.
Most likely nothing to do with the app itself, just the server. As with any product that experiences sudden growth.
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.
It's under the social feed.
Or maybe it can be because I have a Slovak account.
EDIT: It's 43rd in Slovakia.
