I'm experimenting with new profile layouts in the new Pixelfed app.

Which one do you prefer?

(current, alt 1, alt 2)

@dansup alt 2!

I really like how Alt 2 minimizes the following/followers stats

fraencko

@dansup current, but no. of posts should be a couple of pixels more to the top and with increased line-height of bio.

As someone who is a bit farsighted I always increase font size on OS level, please also consider enough room around for elements to "grow". 🙂

How can we further improve Accessibility on the new Pixelfed app?

Feedback and ideas greatly appreciated!

@dansup @pixelfed Under The Radar recently had an episode about this.

One of the takeaways was once the app is out there in the App Store, there will be use cases you never even thought of.

@dansup Dark Mode has been a major issue for me in the iOS beta due to contract issues.

The cursor and text selection are impossible to see, and the keyboard and context menus don’t respect the system-wide dark mode.

𝕂aleb

@dansup support LLaVA or similar model for alt-text generation describing images.

The @IceCubesApp for Mastodon does this very well (see example image and auto generated alt text below) and may be worth a look. Also this article from @joe was useful for me in understanding where to start with this.

I added a few more sections to the new Pixelfed app Settings screen!

@dansup Will the new app run on Android, or will it be available only on iOS?

dansup

Finished the new Pixelfed app Setting screens!

It's much simpler and easy to navigate. ✨

Seriously pissed about this. Offering $10,000 in seed funding for a Deviant Art alternative built on ActivityPub. Q&A below or email your pitch to info@moth.social. slate.com/technology/2024/05/d

@bart Not surprising, especially since DA tried to not opt out with AI scanning the art for their "Art"

Vaughn

@bart could this be done with a PixelFed instance?

Chris

@bart This could be designed not just like DeviantArt, but also adding interesting component from existing art-related gallery like Behance, Artstation, Pixiv, CureCosplay, Xfolio, and so on.

I forgot to ask. Will these groups be compatible with those of #Kbin and #Lemmy?

@dansup will be interesting to see what the community makes out of it :) Also looking forward to the new compose web UI

Looking into a DeviantArt importer to Pixelfed, what perfect timing with Groups, Marketplace and upcoming Collection features ✨

@dansup Will the imported images automatically be set to unlisted with no way to change it like it does for the Instagram import?

@dansup
Hmmm. Possible to have both a Mastodon and Pixelfed account? I have a small, old Deviant Art site.

@dansup Hot damn. I would definitely use this. Was thinking of making an art website to rehouse my old dA posts, but this would be so convenient.

When I exported my deviantArt images, I found that there are different URL patterns for the original, full-size images depending on when they were uploaded.
E.g. gist.github.com/micycle1/73500

If you have a look around online it's well-documented, and there are tools to scrape the original high-res images too.

Artists and DeviantArt users, what features would you like to see in Pixelfed?

@pixelfed what I loved about the old DeviantArt is that there was an actual menu and categories, rather than just search. DeviantArt is virtually unusable now since they removed the very comprehensive side menu. Especially for reference photos.

Linebyline

@pixelfed Two features I miss are gallery folders and favorites lists.

It's handy to be able to sort artworks into categories that don't quite work as searchable tags. (Especially since a lot of pixelfed.art users seem to tag for search/visibility rather than semantics.)

I loved being able to browse an artist's faves and see what art/artists excited them.

I think the new Collections feature is one of these but I haven't followed closely enough to know.

Linebyline

@pixelfed One thing I *wished* dA had was an easy way to view galleries chronologically. I will argue for pagination until the cows come home, but it only does so much good if you bookmark a page and what's on that page changes because the artist uploaded a bunch.

Pixelfed Groups will bring a whole new dimension and experience, I can't wait to ship this monumental feature!

@dansup@mastodon.social Good lord. You shelling out features at quite a speed! ​:ravemonkey:​

@dansup How is the short video thingie going? I think a lot of people will find that one superb

I want to thank @NGIZero for funding the development of Groups!

It's wild that Groups are finally coming to Pixelfed in the next few days 😎

#pixelfed #groups

dansup

There are over 8K LoC for Pixelfed Groups atm, and that will likely double in the coming months (mobile apps, federation, etc...)

It's the most complex feature we've ever shipped, and we've pioneered several mod and safety tools to enable the best experience across Pixelfed instances

Rest assured, I will show the fediverse how it's done 💅

I already showed the fediverse how it's done 3 years ago.

dansup

Pixelfed Groups will be compatible with Lemmy, Smithereen and other platforms!

Groups will be coming to our official mobile apps later this summer ✨

@dansup will it be compatible with mastodon? I think they are developing one too

Still working on the new Pixelfed app, and am looking forward to sharing a big update this week 👀

Frank Ring

@dansup Do you have an idea when it's going to release on the Google Play Store?

Currently using Pixeldroid from F-Droid.

Venture City is my favorite YouTube channel, I could watch these videos all day 😍

Reports are now finished in the new @pixelfed mobile app!

This was one of those small but essential todo items.

You may be surprised to know that Apple and Google require the ability to report user generated content if you have user generated content in your app

There are also other requirements, like hiding adult content by default and allowing users to block other users on social network apps.

Looking forward to shipping the app, gosh it's like so close!!!

The new Pixelfed mobile app will preserve media aspect ratios, no need to tap to view the full image as photos will be rendered to preserve native aspect ratios😎

@dansup @pixelfed you’re smashing it! It’s looking great!

@dansup Looking really forward to that update!

I found most bothering that even if I tap open a pic the viewport stays limited to the area it takes when fit to the screen by its width.
So pinch zooming is limited to a annoying small area with any landscape formatted image.

Maybe that's fixable too? 😬
