I almost never look at the app store but I popped in today in the wake of the TikTok ban and was shocked to see this.
For you maybe. I had to scroll to #79 to see it.

Gotta go by category, social media category specifically
With Play store Top Free across all categories, 79 is actually pretty good, even Amazon is "just" at 53
Did filter on Social category? I'm pretty sure the screenshot is for Social.
Really? That's weird...
E: this is the top free apps under the social category.
Much like Google search results, it's probably tailored to be more relevant to each person.
The "top" apps shouldn't be relevant to anyone but I guess I shouldn't be surprised Google is just lying again.
Can confirm these are highly personalized. I have two different lists on two different phones. One I use for work and has work apps on it, the other for personal use. Both have different top charts which seems to be based on location and installed apps.

I've been loving it. One thing that has to be fixed immediately. You can't click on links inside the post descriptions. I want to follow the link that goes to a news article or website for the sale of a product but I can't click the link or even copy text on mobile.
Devastating
Another shitty "feature" brought over from Instagram, I suppose.

Hopefully they can get the app to run well. It's seemingly shit on android right now. Unsure if it's something on my end.

How does privacy work with it? In my mind I’d think it’d be terrible because everything is federated. Not something I care about with lemmy, but pictures are a different story.

I've never used the official app for PixelFed, I'm just on Fedilab for both it and Mastodon... is the PixelFed app worth a look?
It's pretty terrible tbh, I keep having to go back to the browser.
Give Fedilab a try. I've been using it for about a year now; it's been pretty smooth and straight forward.

Weird, I don't see it. Instead, I see a bunch of proprietary apps.
It's under the social feed.
Or maybe it can be because I have a Slovak account.
EDIT: It's 43rd in Slovakia.
