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.

    Not that I use it often, But Pixelix on F-Droid has dark mode, and I do prefer it’s appearance compared to the official Pixelfed app or PixelDroid, that is just personal preference though

      Yeah, I’m trying pixelix right now. I also prefer it, but I can’t help but feel like the official app would be better if it could just swap all the white for black.

      Seconding Pixelix, but I had to get version 3.2 from github for it to work. (It looks like 3.2 is on izzyondroid now but not yet f-droid).

      Besides the lack of dark mode, the official app is too Instagram copy for me.

        For what it’s worth, being a IG copy isn’t a bad thing. If they’re trying to get the IG crowd over, best to give the users something familiar to keep them using pixelfed. Having other apps is a nice feature for those like us who want it
