Yay!! My local PBS station! And home of the “original Zoom!”

@dansup Congratulations!

@dansup @gbhnews @gbhnews@pixelfed.social So it’s funny I was like “oh I should fire up Pixelfed” and then I remembered that I could just follow from Mastodon. 😆

@dansup uh...where could we hear more about this?

@dansup Do they know you develop it or was it a big coincidence?

@dansup sup

@dansup @pixelfed @NGIZero This looks awesome, is it possible for me to migrate my existing account on PixelFed to use my Mastodon account?

@dansup Hi ! I can't create a #pixelfed account with a Mastodon login. It's not available. I try to do this since yesterday but I cannot. I have to write an email and a password like a new account. Today I found a link on a search engine and this link go to pixelfed.fr where buttons seems to give access to an account but it's a lure. When I am inside the process, a page ask me for an email and a password to end the account creation. Waste of time.

@dansup Is it possible to migrate posts too ?

@dansup Wow, you work fast. 👍

@dansup where is the updated pixelfed API documentation to build 3rd party clients

@dansup is this going to be completely self contained or will it need other docker containers along with it? Either way, THANK YOU! Might spin up my own instance now pending on the ease of config. (I'm lazy lol)

@dansup

@dansup That‘ll be an instant install for me then 😁

@dansup
OR
You know it's part of the bureaucracy because it takes so much room for a simple declaration of content ownership rights.

PHP be like:
explode()
die()

@dansup wohooo! gj&thx

@dansup @pixelfed any news on the TestFlight issue? Pixelfed no longer appears in my TestFlight app.

@dansup @pixelfed Huh?

@dansup @pixelfed I think Pixelfed -> Mastodon could be a genuine path for some to take. In any case, things operating by standards are great. So if you can make it Mastodon compatible I don't see why not.

That being said, I don't like that all the "old" stuff is on your old Mastodon server and you're starting fresh on a new server. I'd much rather content come with me too. So if that's a possibility I'd much prefer that.

@dansup @pixelfed More choice is always better!

@dansup Matrix is also adding support for MLS so it would be interesting if sup. could federate with it.

@dansup

if sup becomes a thing, one of the apps for it needs to be called supdawg.

then you truly have the answer to the question: ‘what’s supdawg?’

@dansup I was going to ask this. It would be nice to finally have one messaging app to rule them all. I seem to remember you saying it was going to work with existing fedi id's...

In other news, I miss Trillian.

@dansup
I read "account migration", and I have stars in my eyes. 🤩
@pixelfed

@dansup @pixelfed
Sup.erb :tony_laughing:

@dansup @pixelfed i’m intrigued by this tool

@dansup @pixelfed

Are you thinking about implementing the same account-migration protocol that Mastodon uses (and Firefish copied)?

@dansup @pixelfed but Mastodon server migration doesn’t preserve posts?

@dansup It's self hostable too! https://github.com/rystaf/mlmym

@dansup Nice for real 😃

@dansup Can’t wait 😜

@dansup

@dansup we sup.'ing in here

@dansup To be fair it's about all of us.

Something like (an actually simple) SimpleX paired with IRCv3 would be an ideal solution, I think.

@dansup
Sup 😉

@dansup maybe the solution is to just make an app for an existing protocol and try making the best app out of all the others? I'm just saying.
