I hope Dan is able to make rapid improvements. It's awesome for the app to be getting so much attention, but it's definitely not in a particular polished state, at least on android

Anyone on ios who can speak to the state of things?

It's not amazing on iOS either, but the server load is probably the biggest part of the issue. It did make me feel like old internet used to though, so that's nice.

My partner attempted to make an account and couldn't do basic things like change their name, bio or photo on the iOS app.

They had to log into pixelfed.social on their computer, on chrome specifically, to change anything.

I keep getting an error with pixelfed.social as well, likely due to the influx lately. I'm hoping for dark mode soon as well. It'll improve with time, but it's been a bit of a rough go with the attention it's getting.

It wasn't an error - the phone refused to focus the field. Clicking on "bio" didn't even open the keyboard.

Average react native experience...

Had the same issue. You can update it on the website just fine though...

Seems like there's multiple different problems people are having, which is unfortunate. Mine was an actual popup error stating that the server was unavailable or a different version which was strange. Sometimes it lets me in now and sometimes it doesn't.
