YSK there are other Pixelfed mobile clients than the flagship app (that include dark mode!)

submitted 2 months ago by

For some reason whenever someone posts any news about Pixelfed one of the top comments is usually along the lines of “no dark mode, no use.” Boy do I have good news for those users!

Like the rest of the Fediverse, and *unlike* corporate media, there are multiple apps you can use! Examples:

iOS has Impressia (fka Vernissage)
Android has Pixeldroid

This is also useful for users who have qualms about the Pixelfed dev’s more… distasteful? behavior (example I found today) and don’t rock with rewarding it, kind of like how a lot of Lemmy users might block or defederate the flagship .ml instance.

That's the thing that irks me when people are elitist about dark mode. Sorry I can't use your edgy dark app with my feeble scrub eyes.

I absolutely love dark mode and find light mode headache inducing but will never understand the elitist attitude beyond a quick joke. Accessibility is good in all forms!

once i pointed out that most modern mobile OSes have a native “smart invert” which can make any app dark mode without messing with images and i got called ableist 😭

I can’t use light mode without inducing a migraine. It’s nice that we’re at a point in history where most apps have at least two accessible themes for different folks.
