Quick question: why is the Pixelfed app not in F-Droid? I know there are other Pixelfed clients in F-Droid (Pixelix, PixelDroid), but I like the official app. The problem is when checking app permissions in the Google Play store, I don't like what I see. Way more permissions than the alternative clients in F-Droid. I solved the problem for myself by appifying the web page in Firefox. Just curious about the omission. Thank you for all the work you put into Pixelfed!
