Photo sharing. For everyone.

Federated image sharing platform, will it go over Instagram?

Does pixelfed have dark mode on android? I open my app and go to appearance and I don't see any options for that. All my other apps are in dark mode. The web version dark mode works. I want to use pixelfed but the white that the app uses could not possibly be worse for my eyes. Trying to use the app for just a few minutes gave me a headache.

Other apps have dark mode, so it's not a technical reason. The web interface has it, so it's not a philosophical reason. I think the app is just incomplete. It's too bad because people seeking an alternative to Instagram will just try the official app, dislike it, and move on. The network itself is a great with any other interface.
