 An early preview of the redesigned @pixelfed UI It's about time we stepped out of the "federated instagram" shadow While it will remain familiar, I'm eager to build on our Collections (think Pinterest), Exif data (flickr, 500px) and Portfolios (deviantart) features We are not abandoning the social photo sharing aspects of IG Rather we will be extending beyond them to provide new and exciting ways to share photos + videos, more details soon! 📸 22 comments
 @dansup @pixelfed Looks awesome! Can't wait to stop calling #pixelfed as "decentralized #instagram variant".  @yogthos @pixelfed Yes, I also want to give users the ability to control Exif visibility in the sense they can search by model, lens, speed, etc if it's public or just display it, or make it only visible to you. More granular controls are the goal, with autocomplete suggestions and mass editing support too! Photogs like yourself know exactly what you want to share, and we need to better support advanced users like yourself. It's going to be great, just wait 😎 @dansup @pixelfed that sounds awesome! On a bit of a tangent, there's an idea I was thinking about lately. It could be interesting to be able to open up photos for critique, and then to be able to reupload a version with fixes based on suggestions. Would be particularly neat if you could look at before/after as well. @gisiger @pixelfed Yes, we are working on first class support for Collections on the mobile app! You'll be able to share photos from other apps to a Pixelfed Collection with a single tap, and we're going to allow users to add anything (links, posts, accounts, websites) as a collection item which really opens up a lot of possibilities! Safe to say Collections are going to be a huge part of our 2024 journey ✨    @dansup@mastodon.social @pixelfed@mastodon.social Thank you ofor your hard work!  Thanks for sharing the update - lots of things to look forward to! I never used Instagram so I am probably a tiny minority of users who don't have a reference point. I appreciate highlighting some of the things you are doing differently. Love collections and portfolio!   |
