@pixelfed nice!

@pixelfed
The settings page looks a lot more refined 👍

@pixelfed Is this coming for iOS only? And not android...

@dansup One thing that I think could help with the alt text is something that says "here's all your images without alt text, in order of engagement: you can enter alt text for them below."

@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.

@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.

@dansup alt 1

@dansup alt 2!

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

@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". 🙂

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

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

@bart could this be done with a PixelFed instance?

@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.

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

@dansup interesting addition.

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

@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.
@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.

@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.

@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.

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

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

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

Currently using Pixeldroid from F-Droid.
