@dansup @dansup@pixelfed.social @pixelfed I noticed when I try to share photos directly out of my Gallery app (Fossify) from my AOSP 15 phone, that out of the 4 Pixelfed compatible client apps I have installed, Pixeldroid and Fedilab come out as available options to upload with, but the official Pixelfed app (as well as Pixelix) do not. Anyway to fix this for the official app?

Myślę, że to dziwne, że twórcy #Pixelfed, powstającego w kontrze do korporacyjnych social mediów, zupełnie ignorują użytkowników, którzy chcieliby zainstalować ich aplikację bez korzystania ze sklepu Google.

Apki Pixelfeda ciągle nie ma w głównym repozytorium F-Droid, a ich własne repo ostatni raz było zaktualizowane 2 października.

Na szczęście są #PixelDroid i #Pixelix.

@ajsadauskas I use #Pixelix. I’m not a heavy user. I can’t remember why I stopped using #Pixeldroid (I have a vague recollection that it wouldn’t reinstall on my phone) but that too was less problematic in use than the official app which had some longstanding bugs that didn’t appear to be being addressed.

I'm going to say it. The UI for #Pixeldroid is super frikkin confusing and needs work. Which is description and which is alt text, people? Make it clear. Make it simple. I'd use the pixelfed a lot more if we had a really decent standalone android client. #Pixelfed

I have very nearly almost got #Pixelfed working, and the #PixelDroid app let me login, but there's a problem with images:

online guides recommended running under a pixelfed acct, fine, but apache2 runs under www-data, ok, I let pixelfed be in the www-data group that I then chgrp all files to be, make everything 'system' group readable, and everything dynamic is group writable.

Sadly the Apache2 part creates '_esm.t3' branches 0700 for images.

New puzzle: can that be 0770?
