In fact, using fediverse social networks made me realize how much I could use a single point of identification for all the services. Like a fediverse passport or SSO.
The screencap in the article looks pretty dark to me? Is there something that needs to be dark that the example pic doesn’t show? Asking as someone that turns everything to dark mode.
No? Huh, I could have sworn I had downloaded an APK and just assumed it was the beta. Haven’t had an Android in a year, though, so I might just be misremembering or thinking of another app.
I was a member of the beta, and one thing that app really needs is a dark mode.

It has a dark mode now (on iOS, at least. Maybe they’ve got a different codebase for Android)Edit: Scratch that. Only the login flow has dark mode.
I hope they also add a feature for short video clips.
They’ve had one for a while.
I haven’t been able to upload any videos.
Keep your reels off Pixelfed please. Use loops.video instead.
Pixelfed is a photo sharing platform
You don’t think Pixelfed should have reels?
Yes, Pixelfed should 100% definitely not have reels. Reels and videos belong on something like loops.video or Peertube and not on Pixelfed.

I couldn’t find it in the App Store. How do you get it?

Here’s the link. Oddly, it doesn’t show up for me either when I search for it.
Thanks!!

As of now, the iOS app does not have a dark mode. Though, I believe the Android version does.
It doesn’t.
Weird. I feel like at some point I remember it having a dark mode on one or the other. Wonder when and why it was removed.
It wasn’t removed, there was never an app before.
Hi! There was actually an official Pixelfed client in beta before the current one written in react native. And it did have dark mode support as well.
