@pixelfed
Well done. I just hope the design changes to something unique, since it's too similar to the Instagram!

Benjamin

@mokazemi @pixelfed almost everything looks like Instagram which is a bit sad indeed as pixelfed is so much cooler and better

@pixelfed will the app's source code be opened? It's weird to see it's not already :(

pixelfed

@lupacescu We understand Stories aren't for everyone.

Users will be able to disable the Story Carousel in the App Settings so you will never see them!

In addition, instance admins will be able to disable the Story feature, we think this gives the best of both worlds without sacrificing user preferences.

@pixelfed @lupacescu While I personally don't understand the point of stories, I think it's a good thing to have. We want everyone on the #Fediverse, including younger people. They might be used to it or even expect a story feature to be there.

@pixelfed I actually have the opposite issue: I was actually looking for something like Stories on the beta app and didn’t see any obvious way to find them, and I’m not seeing anything in the settings for that as yet.

When you say users “will be able to” choose to see them or not, does that mean it’s a feature that hasn’t yet been implemented in the app?

@reay
Well yeah, @pixelfed said it is "shipping soon" so it shouldn't be implemented yet

Reay Jespersen

@Quilly @pixelfed Right. But despite shipping soon, it's in beta testing and a lot of functionality is present and works, so making sure I was understanding their post I replied to. :)

@pixelfed Wait, there‘s a native app while I‘m trying to make do with the PWA? Can you share a link maybe? I fail to find it on the Apple app store…

Timo

@pixelfed freedom of choice is the way to go! Great idea

@pixelfed
How are they going to appoar on other ActivityPub clients? Just as (temporary) video posts?

Robert Boler

@the_moep @pixelfed My question, too. How might these appear on my mastodon timeline, for example?

Srinivas :vm:

@pixelfed is there an issue with the app currently? I can’t seem to load my home feed

Gustomela 🏕️🪵🐻

@pixelfed with exactly these colors, this general layout? You might hear from IG.

Anne

@pixelfed is Pixelfed available in the iOS app store? If so, I can’t find it 🤷‍♀️

famo

@pixelfed I'm really looking forward to Pixelfed app featuring stories! Thank you for the hard work!

@pixelfed How will this be with other fediverse platforms? Will it just be an image that gets deleted or what?

PhilipKing

@pixelfed in the next app update will we be able to follow hashtags?
