I’ve been loving it. One thing that has to be fixed immediately. You can’t click on links inside the post descriptions. I want to follow the link that goes to a news article or website for the sale of a product but I can’t click the link or even copy text on mobile.
TIL wanting to follow a link to the website of a game that someone posted a screenshot of encourages illegal activity. Here I thought I was just using the Internet. Pixelfed should not allow text, comments or engagement at all in that case. It could lead to gamification. How dare people enjoy things differently than you want them to?

Devastating
Another shitty “feature” brought over from Instagram, I suppose.
I don’t want the content to be outside the app, I want the content to be the photos people post.
Then don’t follow any links to outside the app… Why shouldn’t they be usable for people who want to though?
Because it encourages gamification, advertising, malware, and illegal content.
If you want links, use the link sharing forums.
