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.
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.
37th pos in italy. 1st is Rednote :-O
Wait what?!
Why is Italians... When it's Americans... I'm so confused!
Me too. I guess because a lot of Italians like to pretend to be americans.
I still can't log into the darn android app. Takes me to the pixelfed.social login, then does nothing.
But one day I'll love it, I'm sure.
Check pixelix app
It seems to be dependent on the browser for login for some reason, which caused problems for me as well.
which Browser works? i tried several.
edit: i think i read it wrong, anyways, if you figured out how to solve it, please tell.
Well, the problem I had was likely different than yours. The sign-in link was being picked up by Shizuku and opening it in Moshidon, which obviously didn't work. The solution was trying it 2-3x until it was able to be opened in the browser. I also have my browser set to open links in a private window so I had to go and reverse that temporarily and then go back and reverse it again.
I had to disconnect from my WiFi to get it to load. I think my PiHole was blocking a link shortener or something they are using.

Be interesting to see what it looks like a month from now -- the size of plateau and drop-off.
For you maybe. I had to scroll to #79 to see it.
#130 for me, but I’m in Canada and I don’t think we’ve banned tick tok yet
Edit: in the social category it’s #15, not bad! Not bad at all!
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.
Can confirm these are highly personalized. I have two different lists on two different phones. One I use for work and has work apps on it, the other for personal use. Both have different top charts which seems to be based on location and installed apps.
BlueSky being ahead of X is a real testament to how Mastodon users are insufferable and hostile. I love and use Mastodon but Jesus Christ, make some jokes and relax. Al Gore didn’t take the lead in creating the Internet for people to be insufferable. If a game is on, people might talk about it. Don’t chime in about colonialism or whatever during the game. Relax. We’ll talk about that on a weekday.
Hear hear. I subscribed to a couple news accounts and for last minute news its just perfect. But man, start browsing the popular section and you're in for a fuckton of activism.
TIL Al Gore invented the internet?
That's like saying all Lemmy users are hostile.
FUCK YOU!
Pass the beans when you get a chance? Thanks!
Are they the kind that make you hold in your poop? Asking for a friend.
"Here's my angry, unpopular, barely coherent diatribe apropos of nothing about this large and diverse group of people definitely being angry and hostile."
Hot damn, it moved up 3 spots from just the other day!
GO PIXELFED GO!
Does it work better on iOS? Because for me the app is very slow and sometimes just never loads anything
Yeah I can't even log in on metapixl
I’m on iOS and the app is having similar behavior for me.
My issue is any post marked nsfw is blocked on the app for some reason, regardless of whether or not it’s porn. Been digging around in settings but I can’t seem to figure out how to adjust it.
pixelfed.social's starting to slow down. I think the growth's hitting it hard.
I appreciate that they offer more than their first party server on sign-up (unlike Mastodon) but the first party one is still at the top with nearly 4x the number of users than the next highest.
It should be simple enough to allow instances to opt into being shown and then shuffle them periodically.
I don't know. That's probably not an issue with the app but with your particular instance/server.
Dang, alright. I tried pixelfed.social and SDF. Guess I'll keep making accounts until I find one that works
Let me know which works best for you. I tried pixelated.social and also saw some slowness issues.
It's worth it. It's quiet and old school, kind of like here.
.social works fine for me. I mean it's not lightning fast but it's not slow either.
I'm on social but I can't log in the app because it says the instance is running an outdated version of pixelfed. Am I missing something?
