I tried but there is no app for it.
Fdroid has pixeldroid which is apparently incompatible with my android 12 phone?
The pixelfed app isn’t downloadable on Fdroid and is only available for “pre-download” on the play store.
I couldn’t find out how to access pixelfed through a mastodon app.
If it isn’t easily accessible through mobile, it simply won’t be picked up.
There are multiple third party apps and the official versions are available in open beta. For both android and iOS.
