Is there any interest in an official Pixelfed hosting service?

Pay as low as $5/month for your own instance with an export feature to easily migrate your data to your own server down the road if you choose.

This could help fund development and our other initiatives like fediverse.info!

@pixelfed Would immediately go for that, but at the moment I'm still missing a working mobile app (including support for locations, stories, ...) to really use it much. At the moment, Mastodon still seems not worse for image sharing, and federation makes the actual service less relevant too.

@pixelfed I would definitely consider that yes. Canโ€™t wait for the app too that will make a huge difference.

@pixelfed I've been planning on spinning up my own Pixelfed instance, but I've been holding off due to time constraints with other projects.

I'd 100% consider paying for a hosted instance to play with in the meantime.

:PUA: Shlee fucked around and

@pixelfed would. I'm going to host my own instance soon... so as long as it's stable and supported to build a user base in my region. I'm happy to pay

@pixelfed Not for me. I try to avoid subscriptions if at all possible. To support open source I tend to make one-off donations when I can (and the donation process is easy)

@pixelfed i think a payed instance would be more efficient. or instance hosting for groups. single-user instances are a waste of ressources in my opinion

@pixelfed I'd love to be able to pay for a hosted Pixelfed that somehow uses the same accounts as my Mastodon instance. I'd like to offer Pixelfed as a benefit of being on my Mastodon instance but I don't want to admin two separate accounts for each person.

@pixelfed Would things like max image or video size and max collection size be configurable?

@pixelfed If you offered it, I'd migrate from Digital Ocean very quickly.

@pixelfed I would sign up instantly depending on what the $5 plan provides. Otherwise I'll run my own instance if it's a large gap.

@pixelfed@mastodon.social Yeah, I discovered this toot via Google! ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿ˜‚

I would pay between $10-$25/month for this @dansup! I am serious too! I tried a host with @pixelfed@pixelfed.social but it did not Federate while others are โ€œconsideringโ€ #PixelFed (despite supporting Mastodon).

Maybe a Pixelfed premium hosting option, similar to how Automattic has a Premium WordPress.com hosting option & #Element has a premium @matrix hosting option.

@pixelfed Is this idea still being considered? It's something I'm interested in for sure...
