For some reason whenever someone posts any news about Pixelfed one of the top comments is usually along the lines of “no dark mode, no use.” Boy do I have good news for those users!
Like the rest of the Fediverse, and unlike corporate media, there are multiple apps you can use! Examples:
- iOS has Impressia (fka Vernissage)
- Android has Pixeldroid
This is also useful for users who have qualms about the Pixelfed dev’s more… distasteful? behavior (example I found today) and don’t rock with rewarding it, kind of like how a lot of Lemmy users might block or defederate the flagship .ml instance.
It doesn’t seem to have any image editing functionality…?
a good selection of these apps don’t. unsure if that’s an intentional choice or not.
I’ve noticed that. My instance doesn’t provide unlimited storage and I’d much rather crop and resize my pictures before upload. Not having tools for that is a bit of a deal breaker for me.
Of course, I could edit the images separately but it rather limits what I can be bothered to post as a result.
+1 for wanting rudimentary editing tools in client apps. i don’t need filters or anything fancy but cropping and scaling as features would probably help with platform adoption.
