I'm liking Pixelix, it's free on Fdroid. It's better than the official app, but missing some features still

I've been alternating between the mobile website and the official Android app since the launch of Pixelfed.ca. I'm leaning towards the website due to some deficiencies in the official app:

  • Lots of random crashes. I can't reliably replicate this, so I can't say for sure what causes it. I'm using a Google Pixel 9 Pro on Android 15.
  • There might be some user error here, but I can't get the media editor to work when creating posts. On the New Post screen, I enabled the media editor in the settings menu. I am not given any kind of editing options after selecting an image to upload.
  • No suggestions when typing hashtags.
  • No global feed.

Overall, I'm really enjoying my Pixelfed experience despite the growing pains associated with using a new instance.

I tried to use the official app, but it claims my instance (metapixl.com) isn't on the latest version and won't let me connect to it. Pixelix works just fine, though.

Same one

Pixelix too. Totally worth either buying on the Play store or tossing a donation to the devs. They're really awesome. If you have features you want, they're really responsive if you send a message.

I think for me, I'm just missing push notifications, story support, and boosts in the home TL. I don't think the first two are possible without some work from Dansup, unfortunately.
