All those long nights working on backend scalability and performance improvements are about to be put to the test
I wasn’t anticipating this attention for a few more months, but I’m ready 😎
@bady wired is paid… Did anyone read everything without being bored by the paywall?

What iOS Pixelfed client do you use?
Sounds great! Unfortunately insta is the only site I’ve kept to keep up with irl friends and family and I use it almost exclusively for that purpose (I don’t browse strangers’ posts) so it’s a much harder shift than Reddit —> kbin
This. I wish there was a front end that was easy to use like nitter or squawker for Twitter.
Absolutely love Pixelfed. It really captures the vibe Instagram had in 2012 before FB ruined it.

Same here, though an overwhelming amount of bird pictures I find lol

Couldn’t find an android app. Is there one, or is my country not supported?

I got far enough on pixelfed.social to confirm my email address, now I just get a blank blue screen. Not an encouraging first impression. Perhaps I tried to join during a media-caused mad rush or something?

Problem seems to be the main site page doesn’t work on modern iOS, at least not with Lockdown Mode enabled. It loads fine on desktop, but not in any popular iOS browsers (all browser use the same underlying WebKit rendering tools from Apple anyway). That’s a bummer
Didn‘t knew that exists, awesome. Checking it out for sure :)
