Pixelfed Curated Onboarding is powerful!

Not only can you request more details, but you can also create reusable templates to request more details, and the prospective applicant is sent an email with the details and a special link to respond.

Healthy communities require powerful tooling like this 💪

#pixelfed #curatedOnboarding

Pixelfed.social is now in Curated Onboarding mode after weeks of closed registrations.

What this means is we are carefully curating new user applications, to ensure our community safety as we've seen an influx of spam/malicious accounts.

Once we're finished with v1 of FediThreat, we will re-open registrations.

RE: https://mastodon.social/@dansup/115509059514507655

People ask why Pixelfed and Loops aren't merged.

Pixelfed and Loops solve different problems.

Pixelfed: chronological, photo-centric, algorithm-free.

Loops: algorithmic video discovery via For You feeds.

Forcing a Reels feed into Pixelfed would compromise both products, you can't build engaging short video feeds without algorithms.

Real community-driven development means listening — and you've spoken: keep Pixelfed pure and let Loops lead the short video revolution ✨

There is the same bug in #pixelfed for videos, pictures are working properly.

Might want to add #Pixelfed to your post! :pixelfed: :mastodon: :plushtodon_deal: 🇨🇦♥️

is the stories bug fixed? 🙈On my end (Pixelfed iOS app) I can only see stories for a split second (maybe 100ms or so) before they disappear from view. Holding a finger on the screen doesn’t solve it either …

Thanks for all the amazing work with #pixelfed 🙏

Preparing a new Pixelfed server release with fixes for Instagram Import, Account Migration and more!

I like how on Pixelfed every so often someone will find your profile and think "Oh I like that one, and that one, ooh yeah that one too..." and you get this delightful little trail of likes on random stuff, all from a single person. #Pixelfed #Fediverse

I hope the Friends feature will come to #pixelfed and #mastodon too.

Hey Pixelfed fam! 👋

You're always on my mind. Everything I'm building with Loops right now? It's all coming back to Pixelfed later this year.

Can't wait to bring you a fresh, modern experience across web and mobile. 🚀

#pixelfed

While React Native <Text> components do support a `selectable` prop, you can only copy the whole block of text.

BlueSky wrote an awesome library to handle proper selection as most users desire.

Now using it in the new Loops app, and soon in the Pixelfed app ✨

Ideas are cheap. Building them yourself? That's the superpower.

Self-taught high school dropout energy hits different when you're building the future of social media.

The fediverse keeps me hungry. Yeah, there's bumps — but look at what we built together this year.

We're not done yet ❤️

#pixelfed #loops #sup #fediDB #fediverseInfo

are you planning on bringing this to #Pixelfed as well?

It’s ironic — Pixelfed thrives without algorithms, yet Loops users demand a great one.

That’s why Loops became its own project.

We’ll always keep Pixelfed’s reverse-chronological magic intact.

But Loops is different: we’re building an ethical algorithm that connects people to ideas, creators to communities, and sparks a movement that belongs to all of us.

#loops #pixelfed #peoplePowered

I want to know: what advantages does #PixelFed have over #Mastodon apart from its UX?

I could’ve sold out earlier this year - but I didn’t, because I believe in the fediverse.

So yeah, it stings when people judge my mistakes or believe exaggerated stories. But I’ll keep learning in public, owning my missteps, and building something worth believing in.

This is bigger than me, and I want to make our amazing community proud.

Because all this hard work is for you. ❤️

#pixelfed #loops #forThePeople

Working on a new Pixelfed release with several bug fixes!

#pixelfed #accountMigration #instagramImport

#Loops has entered #beta with #ActivityPub support, allowing users to connect with creators across the #fediverse. This means users can follow and interact with creators on platforms like #Mastodon and #Pixelfed, and vice versa. Loops has implemented several technical features to ensure smooth federation, including a shared inbox, HTTP signatures, and smart content representation. https://blog.joinloops.org/loops-joins-the-fediverse/?Fedizen.EU #Fedizen #Fediverse #ActivityPub #News

I'm doing this week at work a talk about the Fediverse (a beginner talk)...
what do you think, should be definitely in?

(of course I will show all the major plattforms (e.g. @Mastodon, @pixelfed, @LemmyDev, @info and so on.. maybe even @loops)

and I will definitely show the lovely 4min video from @_elena which is a great introduction to the Fediverse)

Zum Thema #Pixelfed vs. #Instagram noch mal ergänzend:

War auf Pixelfed 3 Wochen inaktiv. Auf Insta 2 Wochen.

Exakt selber Post.
Insta nach 7h: 2 Likes.
Pixelfed nach fast 3h: 25 Likes, 1 Kommentar, 4 Boosts, 3 neue Follower.

Hello #pixelfed Stories ✨ #fyp @loops

Loops is federating with Mastodon and Pixelfed 🥳

I'm still doing some tests, and will be pushing the ActivityPub PR shortly ✨

Added another pixelfed bug to the github repo, but this time for the pixelfed app.
https://github.com/pixelfed/pixelfed-rn/issues/439
not working on Android or iOS.

it's shown in @apps - but @Pixelix and @PixelDroid have both the same problem.

I hope when @dansup is done with the loops federation he will have more time for Pixelfed again

#pixelfed #pixelfedbug #pixelfedadmin

When will this be rolled out? What's hindering this roll out technically?

Just a short bugfix rollout would be really helpful for all the pixelfed users. Thanks in advance.

#pixelfedadmin #pixelfed #pixelfedbug

hey @dansup - do you have any chance to look at this #PixelfedBug ?

https://github.com/pixelfed/pixelfed/issues/6064

it's about how ugly all non-pixelfed posts look on pixelfed, because of the removing of line breaks.

I guess for you this is a real quick one. I was already looking at the code, but I haven't seen where this happens.

Thanks

#pixelfed #pixelfedadmin

what I'd really love to see for #pixelfed is a more robust focus on the photography aspect and providing a better feed/gallery/image-sharing experience.

Collections is a good start, but it needs a ton of work to make it really useful (and usable). Instagram is missing decent curation tools, and that's something Pixelfed could fill the void on, too. innovation like that is being passed over in favor of poorly aping Instagram's worst features that are better left to other platforms.

sigh.

The new Pixelfed Story features that are in development are very cool, and will bring a whole new dimension to this unique medium.

More details soon 👀

#pixelfed #stories #soundLibrary #video

Não sei se é por causa dos stories, que ocupam o topo da tela, mas o #pixelfed tá jogando a barra de comandos para baixo dos botões do Android e não consigo mais usar 😒

Eita, o #pixelfed tem #stories agora

So wird’s nix. Die offizielle #Pixelfed App für die private, coprfreie und adfreie Alternative gibt’s nicht direkt im F-Droid-Store und verlinkt direkt auf den Play- und Appstore?

Augenscheinlich gibts wohl en Repository zum Einbinden. Nach 20 Minuten erfolglos aufgegeben.

Was ist so schwer daran, einfach eine Version auf der Website zur Verfügung zu stellen?

dear pixelfed admins
if you have pixelfed servers and you are able to repost you can help us

please go into your admin thing -> diagnostics -> click the Copy Diagnostics
button and send to us.

Reposting is not working for servers with mysql, postgresql or mariadb.

We want to see why.
Thanks a lot

#pixelfed #pixelfedadmin #pixelfedbug #dbproblems

Aaaaaand a very smooth #pixelfed upgrade.
Thanks @dansup

Something is really fishy. I am logged into Pixelfed on my phone, but I just can't get in on the web. I tried the recover email link, and it claims the username I am using *while logged in on my phone* does not exists? WTF?

Pixelfed for Android (v1.8.0) is now rolling out!

#pixelfed #stories

The new PixelFed update looks so dope! It really brings me back to the good old days of the internet, where the focus was purely on community and content without the clutter of ads. It’s so refreshing to see people building something that really feels like the internet used to.

So what's going on with #Pixelfed? On my server images are loading slow, the Explore page is a graveyard (https://gram.social/i/web/discover), there's no engagement on new posts at all. Something seems bugged. @dansup is this a local server problem or is there a wider issue?

Hey @dansup

Since recently, I can't reach the Pixelfed menu, because of my Android navigation. I think. Or maybe I am just a noob.
