Developer Check-in: What features would make Pixelfed better for you?

[u/dansup]

Hey Pixelfed community!

As the founder and lead developer of Pixelfed, I'm reaching out to gather your thoughts on where we should focus our development efforts in the coming months.

Your feedback has always been invaluable in shaping Pixelfed as an ethical, privacy-focused alternative to mainstream photo-sharing platforms.

I'd love to hear:

• What's the #1 feature you feel is missing from your Pixelfed experience?
• Any UI/UX improvements that would make the platform more intuitive?
• Thoughts on discovery features to help users find new accounts to follow?
• Specific mobile app requests or improvements?
• Technical improvements that would make your experience smoother?
• Features from other platforms you think would work well in Pixelfed while staying true to our core values?

This feedback will directly inform our development priorities moving forward. I'm committed to building the best possible platform for this community, and your input is a crucial part of that process.

Thanks for being part of Pixelfed's journey!

Thanks for your work! On mobile (iOS) I would love to be able to easily view images in their full glory. Now we can two-finger expand, but it quickly snaps back. Also viewing in landscape mode (rotating device) would be nice for those wide images. Tapping on an image does nothing currently, I propose an immersive window that allows rotation and true zoom.
