It's insane how much customization is in the fedilab (@apps) app, definitely the best Android client for mastodon (and other fediverse instances) that I've found

@mrpresidenttom @apps I'm tempted to get it. Could I ask for a few examples plan.

I'm most intrigued, strangely enough, by idea I can Mastodon and Pixelfed in same app!

@gpollara
Definitely! Here's some screenshots of the settings, I've got 4 accounts accessible from fedilabs (1 bot, 2 mastodon on different instances, and 1 pixelfed). The last screenshot is the pixelfed instance, there's a setting to enable the pixelfed photo styling (which is what is selected rn) for any account not just pixelfed. Some of my favorites are the bubble posts styling, which I think makes it look cleaner.

I decided to take the plunge, and bought

Can I ask where the photostyling option for pixelfed accounts is? At the moment I'm only seeing an empty timeline for my pixelfed account. Thank you

@gpollara
You can pull to refresh. Otherwise it's in Settings > Timelines > Pixelfed presentation for media. @mrpresidenttom

@apps
Ah great, I got the photo view to work, thank you.

Next thing is I don't see any photos from pixelfed people I follow. I can only see photos in local and global timelines.
@mrpresidenttom

@apps
Sorry to be a nuisance but some help would be appreciated. I've loaded my Pixelfed instance and account into Fedilabs. From there I can see local and Federated timelines. Can also see notifications of comments I've made or people have made on my photos.

But my home timeline is completely empty. Should be full of photos from people I follow, no?

Help appreciated please.
@mrpresidenttom

@gpollara Yes, it should. So pull-to-refresh didn't work? Could try to add your account again?

@apps thank you. I've tried pull to refresh and now also removing and adding account. Still no fix. Maybe to do with my pixelfed server.

I have almost no photos & contacts, so will move to another one and see if that fixes the issue.

@gpollara
Somewhat weird especially if you can see messages from your home timeline in a browser.
Could it be an outdated pixelfed version?

@apps fixed by changing to a different Pixelfed instance! Thank you for your help
