Pixelfed for Android (v1.0.0.43) is now available!
@pixelfed
How can we stop cropping these images in the feed view? Three versions or so ago it didn't do that. Especially now, when it takes two taps to open the post (2nd tap on a screen with slightly mis-sized icons)? I love Pixelfed and at the same time I'm sorry to say this is not an improvement in usability. #StopTheCrop
@42402dot7 Here is a screenshot of a portrait photo in the latest version, as you can see we have fixed the square crop bug!
@pixelfed
Thanks for getting back to me. I'm on the latest version. The screenshots I posted were from the same v.
I sideloaded the APK & updated the existing install. I'll try a clean install later when I have some time (I have to redownload/signature-check again,
I'd rather not rush that). Maybe that'll do the trick? I'll share the results then. I'm just glad to hear it isn't just me with this issue.
While all of this sounds a bit negative, I just want to reiterate: I love Pixelfed!
@pixelfed
So I clean re-installed v43 and the images in the feed are still cropped. (Android 13)
Btw on your website you list Fedilab as an alternative app to use with Pixelfed. I can no longer use it to look at my Pixelfed account. Just getting "no messages to display" or sth like that.
Nothing but bad news from me, sorry!
