Great concept, needs polish
Hey! I've been enjoying Pixelfed and I really like the idea of an ad-free, algorithm-free place to share photos. That's exactly what I've been looking for, and I'm glad it exists. My only wish is that the app ran a bit more smoothly, since scrolling and loading can feel laggy at times. It would also be amazing to see it adopt Apple's new Liquid Glass design. I'm really excited to see where it goes. Thanks for all your hard work!

Doesn’t seem to work
I have a log in. Have posted photos.
Now I get an ‘Oops somethings not working’ and when I click on my profile it doesn’t have my details and just says ‘User’ and gives an option to edit my profile.

Location on photos
I find it strange that you can’t turn off the location inclusion of photos. Usually you can turn it off in options and yet it doesnt allow it. Theres no place in their phone settings that allows it to be turned off either. That is a privacy issue
Won’t work
Can’t even sign up, I put my email I make a password and it doesn’t send me a code and when it does that code doesnt work and there’s a button for if you already have a code AND IT JUST TRYS TO SEND YOU A NEW ONE AND YOU CANT USE THE ONE YOU ALREADY GOT so you’re stuck getting sent codes. Like it’s saying my account’s not valid and it doesn’t have the things for it but also my account was made and that I can’t use that email. Don’t waste your time hopefully it gets fixed and not abandoned

Something Weird is Happening
Not sure what is happening with this app, no updates for a year. On the home screen I am no longer seeing posts. I haven’t posted in the platform due to these issues. I’m likely to close my account and just publish pictures on my website or on mstdn social.
Great app, but needs some small quality of life adjustments
Would love to have a custom keyboard layout on the posting tab that includes keys for hashtag (#) or @ so that we can click fewer times.
Also, if the keyboard is showing and you haven't chosen content to post yet, you have to dismiss the keyboard before you can click the chooser button; this is a needless extra gesture.
Also when you're on the discover tab and inspect a post and then go back to the discover tab, it inexplicably scrolls to the top automatically almost every time. Aside from that, really excellent work on this thing.

Feels like the original instagram, before acquisition by the Facebook.

Simple photo sharing. No ads. No reels. No addictive algorithms.

Won’t let me create an account
I’m trying to create an account but it keeps having an error. Tried twice and it’s the same thing, I put in a code, put in my information to create an account, and then it just gives me an error. It would be nice to actually be able to use the app.
Account creation nightmare
Seeking an alterntive to instagram for photography. This seemed to get good reviews but failed at account creation stage. Too hard so deleted and will find another
Broken for months
App just won’t load anything, reoccurring error ‘This service may temporarily be unavailable’
Pointless app

Lost Hope
I only had this app for a few days and it completely stopped working. I can’t login at all, server is apparently down. This app won’t even update
One Of The Only NO-ADS Social Media Experiences I Have Ever Had
This app is unreal. It has a clean, slick UI, with easy-to-understand settings, and TONS of cool and interesting features that make it ten times better than Instagram.
The fact that you can turn OFF stories is amazing, been wanting to do that forever!
The cherry on top was the “No data collected” prompt in the data collected section. I have NEVER seen a social media app that is so privacy driven,
PLEASE NEVER CHANGE PIXELFED, YOU ARE THE BEST.

Profile was Deleted
Since yesterday morning, I have zero access to the App and it doesn’t recognize my username as existing. It’s as if I was completely deleted with my data erased to even sign in.
Confused
I was so excited to see there’s an alternative to IG. I don’t have any social media because of… YOU know… tired of all the BS in there. So I tried to sign up to pixelfed ??? It’s so confusing like why is it this hard to sign up
Can’t make an account
The account creation process has me going in circles, so I can’t even try out the app. There’s gotta be an easier way to sign up if the goal is to have people switch from instagram.
was great but hasn’t functioned in awhile.
opening the app has said temporarily unavailable for months. it sucks cuz instagram has been banning some trans people and drag queens and I was hopeful about this app. i’ll be happy to leave a positive review if the app returns
App doesn’t work
It used to work for me, but hasn’t for a few months now. I just get a ‘the service may be temporarily unavailable’ message when my feed doesn’t load. Site works ok on a browser.
Vorschlag…
Schöne Alternative zu Insta. Es wäre toll, wenn man mehrere Dateien auf einmal hochladen könnte… erspart rumscrollen
just horrible
just created an account and i haven’t even been using it for ten minutes and it literally won’t load. total waste of time
Unable to log in
Haven’t been able to log in for some time. But I get notifications when I have a follower. Please fix this issue!
