 π Kudos to #mastoAdmins Almost 50% of active Mastodon servers are running v4.2.5 which fixes a critical bug! v4.2.5 was released only 19 hours ago

@dansup Not only kudos to the admins, but also thanks to developers & users who make the admins aware. It's a real community thing! Did you know @pixelfed limits Direct Messages to 1-on-1 conversations? Unlike Mastodon and others, when you mention another account, we treat that as a link instead of including them in the convo and sending them a copy. Spammers cannot abuse Pixelfed to send the same DM to multiple accounts! (I'm aware that this breaks group chats which we don't support yet, but I do have a solution in mind)

  @pixelfed Neat! I've often wished I could easily @ mention someone on Mastodon without pinging them. I mean, you can always post a link, but outside of certain clients, that usually takes readers to a page outside the instance they're signed into, so they can't interact with it without that annoying copy-paste rigmarole. Of course, the ability to @ mention someone you *do* want to ping is still nice, but I suspect that's easier to work around: Just DM pingee a link to the discussion. Btw, I recently shipped a fix in @pixelfed for Instagram Import, specifically to support the latest export format from IG. If you've had issues importing your IG data to pixelfed.social, I encourage you to try now, and let me know if you run into any issues! I expect other instances will update and they to will have support for the latest IG export format.

 @dansup @pixelfed Sorry, one more problem detected: The images can be seen within the profil timeline, but if I click one single image, I will not be transfered to it's post. Error message: "Something went wrong Edit: Shipped and now available! β¨ Instagram Import + S3 Shipping soon! I'm aware of a certain Pixelfed instance being targeted by spammers and used to deliver spam to accounts across the fediverse. The same thing happened with Lemmy last summer, and was caused by a dangerous config cocktail: - Open Registrations - No email verification - Less active moderation (waiting to get reports rather than finding this from paying closer attention) There are some things I can improve in Pixelfed, but these 3 are dangerous when used together!

  Hi @dansup, as a preventative measure I noticed the feature below was announced. https://mastodon.social/@pixelfed/111765049556234157 But how do we enable it? BoostBot Farms R US. That is what will happen. Yes, you can defederate, but in the meantime, you still get to play whack-a-mole. Edit: This was fixed! I'm aware of an issue affecting FediDB software pages, a fix will be deployed tonight! While Pixelfed does support the MastoAPI, we do require auth for many endpoints, including the one used in the CCP scraper! You may have noticed pixelfed.social is slower than usual, we're reaching the limits of our single VPS and are working on scaling out!

@dansup at a certain point I had a TestFlight version on my iPhone but it has been removed. How can we get the app now? I donβt have a passport and seen Final Destination, attending conferences is difficult for me. I hope to see a fediverse conference hosted in Canada, the birthplace of the fediverse, sometime soon!

 @dansup I didnβt know Canada was the birthplace of the Fediverse, thatβs awesome! I need to learn about that now.  @dansup That's neat, I think I can probably secure a location Downtown TO. Let's make it happen @evan Need to look up more about #FediCamp, I can't read German π³ Edit: Oh, it's literally camping. This location would not be that hahaha. An in-person meetup with workshops and such would be doable maybe. So it turns out the falling out with my family was over a simple miscommunication, we're all good now! I'm so happy, they are my rock and yeah it was all my fault. Since the pandemic we've grown closer, it's awesome, my mom calls me almost every day just to talk π₯Ί Having great parents is like winning the lottery, iykyk β€οΈ  More #curatedOnboarding screenshots 1) Email sent to applicant from admins that request more info 2) Details form where user provides their response 3) Email sent to admins when a new applicant response is received 4) Curated Onboarding dashboard Shipping soon! This is exactly what we need before launching our instance. When will this feature be generally available?  This is a great tool, and will be effective at mitigating bot signups. Most bots fill out the form with random information, often including an advertisement, and since the admin reviews new applicants first, it usually becomes obvious who is a bot and who is not before they are even approved to join.

I have a few friends who now use Insta as their main social media, and I just cannot stand to use it, on so many levels. Not the least of which is the years long bug where can't I scroll down without getting bumped back up. So much of the time literally cannot use it, except for the top like 2 pages worth of a given time. |
