@dansup @pixelfed sorry what did the pf.s do?

@dansup @pixelfed Personally I would keep the list of trusted instances, but still add the ability to enter a custom URL, bit make it clear that Pixelfed can't take responsibility of what happens on custom instances :blobfox:

@dansup @pixelfed warn the users. Other stuff is not your problem anymore 🙃

@dansup just let people have an option to specify the domain manually. If they already know that from somewhere then they most likely have a reason to use that specific instance.

It of course doesn't need to be shoved in your face and I personally would not include a full list of all known instances in the app directly but not offering signups on arbitrary instances as a feature to advanced/knowledgable users massively gimps the app and goes against the federated idea of the whole thing imo.

@dansup do you think https://macula.link can be integrated with @pixelfed ?

@dansup Is there a way to specify an arbitrary instance for the usecase where someone already knows where they want to sign up?

@dansup @pixelfed I feel old spinning that birth date selector like it's the Price is Right... :oof:

@dansup

@dansup I wish there was a way in the server select dialog to search for other servers. This is reminding me of the mastodon dialog where .social seems like the default. That said, I know you’re working hard to improve the experience, and I appreciate it.

@dansup This and the new Earl Sweatshirt/Alchemist album, we eating tonight

@dansup nice but, please do not promote a "default" server

@dansup
Didn't like the "default" server, but I love the design.

@dansup @pixelfed OK, this looks smooth and simple.

@dansup @pixelfed why does it ask for birthday? that shouldn't be required...

@dansup @pixelfed it's very sleek and pretty -- two thumbs up

@dansup Which one? There's two versions of the show (UK and US – a little bit like The Office)

@dansup British or American version? I've only watched the US version and thought it was entertaining, but English humour is usually more up my alley

@dansup so many good scenes. Love to hate Frank.

@dansup I was one of them 😏

@dansup a while back I did a case study on dating app UX, where I tried out nearly every popular app on the app store.

Not a single one was without sin in the onboarding. The most common flaw was using the wrong input type for a lot of data (eg, dropdowns for date fields, text fields for numbers, generic input for email, etc)

Theres a balance between taking too much information and too little, and very few walked the line.

@dansup @pixelfed just implement face recognition and a lookup in the government database and the user is automatically identified haha 🙏🤣🎂

@dansup @pixelfed this is fine if you only want users who already use Pixelfed.

If I download an unfamiliar app, I want to explore a bit before I sign up.

If it insists that I sign up before I can do anything at all, then I’m deleting it and never thinking about it again

@dansup @pixelfed you already have a matrix room why promote the discord one? I want to lurk in.

@dansup @pixelfed Hi. If I want ot donate to the development of Sup, should I donate to you directly?

@dansup 😘

@dansup@mastodon.social
You're really not, that's what makes you cool 😎

@dansup No dev is like other devs.

@dansup it has a gallery view for one thing :)

@dansup

The user-experience is different.

A lot different.

And that isn't a minor thing.

From the user's point-of-view, that is all they know of an application. (Things like the back-end are almost completely invisible to them.)

@dansup BTW I was wondering: how does Pixelfed handle image uploads? I assume it doesn't butcher them the way Mastodon does, but does it let them through unaltered or does it do some cleaning up or whatever?

@dansup @pixelfed Hi, I noticed that it wasn't possible to display collections from the Pixelfed app. Is this planned in the near future?

@dansup @pixelfed The rate at which you keep pushing out features, you’ve more than earned yourself a “pay down tech debt” release.

Enjoy your less-smelly codebase!

@dansup @pixelfed Are the improvements coming to Android as well as fruity-phones?

@dansup @pixelfed Aaaah....that's virtually my complete wishlist for #pixelfedapp 🤩
Only misses ability to edit posts 😉
