I have a Pixelfed account and have tried the app.
But I can't actually make posts using it. Don't know where the hiccup is.

The Impressia for Pixelfed app has been serving me well the past 6 months.
I was wondering about that app as I saw the listing. I'm glad someone likes it.
how are they paying for the hosting?
Donations and NLNet grant, you can support Pixelfed yourself
I’m a little underwhelmed by the iOS app itself, but the content is great
Hopefully Pixelfed continues to bloom into a solid community!
The app doesn’t really feel native, and doesn’t have features like clicking to enlarge an image. If it’s open source I’d look into helping though

Is Pixelfed an appropriate place to upload an image to share on Lemmy / Mastodon?
I've been doing that exact thing, but only as long as the images would be Instagram-worthy in the first place. Not just temporary junk. I figure it's probably more optimized for picture storage, since that's the whole point right? Plus then I get it two places instead of one!
If you use the raw media link itself instead of the link to the post, it displays on Lemmy exactly the same as if you'd uploaded it here in the first place. So that's nice.
It’s doable, but you might as well just upload it here. But for smaller albums, it would be a good idea.
What's the intended use case for Pixelfed?
Whatever the usecase for Instagram is
Instagram replacement rather than Imgur
For that there is https://catbox.moe/ and https://imgbb.com/

It acts as a Instagram replacement (but is actually about photos and not videos)
loops.video is aiming for the video segment. Tho' it seems like one app for pix and vids would be nifty.

Yeah I tried the beta before. I just got a new smartphone so I'm happy it's available I the app store.
That's odd. I've had the app for like 3 months.
The beta, not sure how you missed that.
Damn, you are right. Now that you mention it, I did signup for the beta through their website. I just forgot.

I just installed and is pretty neat. Truly a photo first social media.

I was a member of the beta, and one thing that app really needs is a dark mode.
~~It has a dark mode now (on iOS, at least. Maybe they’ve got a different codebase for Android)~~
Edit: Scratch that. Only the login flow has dark mode.
The screencap in the article looks pretty dark to me? Is there something that needs to be dark that the example pic doesn't show? Asking as someone that turns everything to dark mode.
As of now, the iOS app does not have a dark mode. Though, I believe the Android version does.
It doesn't.
Weird. I feel like at some point I remember it having a dark mode on one or the other. Wonder when and why it was removed.
I hope they also add a feature for short video clips.
loops.video integration wen?
you gotta keep ’em separated
oooooOOOOOoooo!!! I didn't even know about this. But yes.
