Mika<p>New <a href="https://sakurajima.social/tags/Pixelfed" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Pixelfed</a><span> users: Please don't use the "official" app - it's really poor and has been that way since its existence. The photo sharing experience is horrible, and even the photo viewing experience is scuffed - the scrolling is choppy, alt messages don't show, it couldn't even display most photos properly in the correct size/ratio (same with uploading too). You might need it for certain features that are currently unsupported by the other clients (Pixelfed isn't the best when it comes to supporting their 3rd party clients/devs), yet despite that, you will almost guarantee a much better experience using 3rd party apps than their own.<br><br>If you're on </span><a href="https://sakurajima.social/tags/iOS" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#iOS</a>/<a href="https://sakurajima.social/tags/iPhone" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#iPhone</a> user: you're in luck cos you get to install <a href="https://sakurajima.social/tags/Impressia" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Impressia</a> (formerly known as <a href="https://sakurajima.social/tags/Vernissage" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Vernissage</a>) which really is the (only) perfect Pixelfed app available, it's <a href="https://sakurajima.social/tags/FOSS" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FOSS</a> and completely free on the <a href="https://sakurajima.social/tags/Apple" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Apple</a> App Store. I think it's also worth noting that the developer behind this amazing app is also building a (FOSS) federated photo sharing platform, akin to Pixelfed and <a href="https://sakurajima.social/tags/Instagram" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Instagram</a><span>, of their own called Vernissage due to Pixelfed's own limitations/shortcomings - it's not available to the public yet I don't think, but might be worth going for in place of both Pixelfed and IG in the future.<br><br>If you're on </span><a href="https://sakurajima.social/tags/Android" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Android</a>, you have several options including <a href="https://sakurajima.social/tags/PixelDroid" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PixelDroid</a> but the closest thing you'll get to a decent (Pixelfed) client is <a href="https://sakurajima.social/tags/Pixelix" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Pixelix</a>. The app itself, from the <a href="https://sakurajima.social/tags/Google" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Google</a> Play Store is not free but it is FOSS and you can still download and install it for free using its APK that you can find from their <a href="https://sakurajima.social/tags/GitHub" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GitHub</a><span> repo. The photo viewing experience is great, the photo sharing exp - not so much (compared to Impressia) but it is a very solid option and still overall hands down better than the official app.<br><br></span>🔗 <a href="https://apps.apple.com/us/app/impressia-for-pixelfed/id1663543216" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://apps.apple.com/us/app/impressia-for-pixelfed/id1663543216</a><span><br><br></span>🔗 <a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.daniebeler.pfpixelix" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.daniebeler.pfpixelix</a><span><br><br></span>🔗 <a href="https://github.com/daniebeler/pixelix" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://github.com/daniebeler/pixelix</a><span><br><br></span>🔗 <a href="https://vernissage.photos" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://vernissage.photos</a></p>
