Pixelfed got featured on the Wired and here’s what @dansup@mastodon.social, the author of @pixelfed@mastodon.social, says:
[…]
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 😎
- Hope this gets Pixelfed the attention it deserves. The app has improved so much in the last few months. 
- Kbin/Lemmy is the only Fediverse thing I’ve been able to get into…Mastodon and Pixelfed just don’t have the things/people I want to follow. I only use Mastodon here and there thanks to the bird.makeup instance which clones people’s twitter accounts. If I didn’t…that feed would be a ghost town…Is there one that clones Instagram for Pixelfed? - Defo check out firefish.social if you’re not into Mastodon. It’s got a lot of lovely features I wanted out of other mastodon apps. - Yeah. Firefish is to Mastodon what Kbin is to Lemmy 
- Cool, thanks for the info!

- Is there an android app? - Yes, but it isn’t on f-droid or google play. - The apps are listed on the official website. The official app is in public beta, but I hope it gets a public release soon. You can follow @pixelfed@mastodon.social on mastodon for updates. There are also 3rd party apps, but I haven’t tried any. 
 
 
- Pixelfed for iOS (Beta) still refuses to upload any of my photos from my iPhone. - Ultimated Privacy Achieved!! lol 
 
- Thanks for this, registered on the .de site and the app seems to work. Now to post some photos… 
- they got stories? - I am fairly certain they do. - The backend capabilities are there. The front end for the Web view must be enabled by the admin and the mobile apps currently lack the feature. 
 
- Yes. Scroll to the end https://pixelfed.org/features 
 
- @bady i haven’t used instagram in some years, it i still have a lot of photos and memories saved there from way back when. i might do this… 
- Has this actually worked for anyone? I click on Review Uploads and the website either crashed or nothing happens.
