Hey there!
I hope this kind of post is allowed in this community.
I recently discovered Pixelfed and really enjoy it so far :)
I also registered as a beta tester for the official Android app and quickly got my partner to join.
But when I tried to send them a private message, the app instantly closes the moment the keyboard is (supposed to be) opening. It's the same for my partner, so I guess this is not a singular issue.
Also, I noticed that the app tends to slow down, the more posts are loaded on the current feed - so there may be some kind of memory leak happening (I am not very proficient in tech, so I may be using the wrong terms, sorry).
Other than that I want to take a brief moment to say thanks for this very cool project! I'm excited to see how it's going to evolve in the future! :D
This same bug has been going on for a while. It almost seems that the app won't evolve past this point. You could download a Mastodon app such as Tusky to access pixelfed, but you will lose some features, but you will be able to message - I think
