good app????

needs a video option

Its pretty decent

It's far from feature parity with instagram but its a great open source option, you can host your own content privately with friends, say you are in a frat or sorority, have someone host a pixelfed instance and you could have your own instagram (just dont federate lol) I really get the appeal of private social media where you could make your own instances with friends for like twitter, ig clones and then only federate (link) with servers of people you know like and trust Upside being you and y

Good but lacks polish

Please add ability to mute hashtags. It would make it easier to clean up my feed.

Has Potential

This is the first time I’ve ever reviewed an app. This app is well made, but a bit buggy here and there. Searches can turn the app completely black, the explore section could use more variety, and I think automatically following the platform’s social and the developer’s social is a bit conceded and should be optional at account creation rather than forced in the beginning.

Love the community but not the app

I enjoy the change of pace using this platform over others, but lately the app feels like it’s degraded. It constantly crashes when I try to do basic things like view a profile or add a photo. If I can’t do those things without crashing, what is the point?

Invalid code

Can’t create account due to invalid code errors.
