@dansup how can you even draw a comparison here, flickr is nothing like instagram

@dansup that bothered me too.. how weird to not compare pixelfed to insta! it’s clearly because you don’t have enough reels 😂

@dansup 🤣

@dansup thanks. I'll need it after I've finished writing my Mastodon client library as Pixelfed is next up 😅

@dansup is it normal that DMs absolutely do not work for me ?

@dansup Perfection takes time.

@dansup suuuuuup.

@dansup soup

@dansup Hi Dan. Am I missing something, or is there no log in field on the main landing web page of Pixelfed ??

@dansup any new updates today?

@dansup 🙋‍♀️ pixelfed is such a blessing! Nearly done with importing my insta pics :)

Any plans to make it possible to change the visibility of (imported) posts? Would love to make some posts public to display them in my portfolio. Which is awesome btw

@dansup Paige no

@dansup You shouldn't be allowed to use Pixelfed unless you get the reference.

@dansup I don't think this is a good idea. How do you crop and where? You can entirely destroy a picture trough bad cropping in a preview

@dansup I would lobby for this to be a view option so the user can choose whether they prefer the square density and balance, or to see the photo as the poster intended. (And I'd lobby for the default to be to follow the poster's intent.)

I usually crop my photos to square before posting, as I've felt that tends to match this context better. But sometimes I've felt it's important for a photo to be a different form; having the app make its own decision means I might as well not post it.

@dansup By cropping or shrinking? Cropping would be awful for photography.

@dansup I personally would not want to see loads of posts from accounts I’m not following on PixelFed. I’d wouldn’t introduce Reblogs (or give users a setting to disable it) and leave the discovery of new content to the Discovery tab.

Maybe allow people to share posts to their Stories like in Instagram.

@dansup Nothing wrong with reblogs. If I were to decide for all, I’d enable them and let folks filter them out, if they want.

I think more discovery is better than less discovery.

@dansup make it an opt in -- for me it really makes context reading easier

@dansup I would use such a centralised service because I trust you. But I would be more comfortable if the legal framework was right and the service was run by a purpose company.

@dansup Discovery would only work, if people actually put their phone numbers in their profile. I guess most people won't, so this will only work for very few contacts, won't it?
I'm not questioning the idea. I just wonder if it's actually worth the effort and increase in code complexity.

@dansup the HIBP way is a good idea, but the possible combinations of phone numbers (10^11 combinations perhaps) is rather small. You can create a full rainbow table on a standard GPU in pretty short time.

@dansup
Do we _need_ this?

@dansup @pixelfed what were the results for this? It looks 50/50 to me if you count the first two options as “for” and the third as “against”

I'm not really considering just limiting to my app, I'm going to emulate what he did with Mastodon and allow 3rd party @pixelfed apps to implement them as well.

I am writing a APNS/FCM gateway in php/go that will be used in the #pixelfedApp, looking forward to publishing that and blogging about it!

It will use the next gen, high performance arch that pixelfed will eventually be using, bringing perf and scalability to a new level 💪

@dansup
Yes, Redis is magic :)

@dansup @pixelfed That is definitely a great solution when it comes to performance, responsiveness, and scalability, if done correctly. However, the consequence of such a solution is that all user timelines are constantly in RAM. Mastodon tackles this by limiting the length of the timeline to 400 most recent posts, which is quite frustrating in my case due to the lack of fallback to SQL queries. Do you plan to introduce similar limitations as Mastodon?

@dansup @pixelfed thank you for working on hashtag follows! I'm actually not using pixelfed because of that :( but I'll be paying attention.

@dansup @pixelfed Daniel, I guess Pixelfed does not have follow tags? Or it is just missing from Android app. I just realized that whould be killer feature for picture streams.

@dansup @pixelfed Hey, I need your advice. After Instagram import, I can't see imported pictures on my profile. Please see the screenshot. #pixelfed #pixelfed365

@dansup@mastodon.social @pixelfed @dansup@pixelfed.social done

@dansup already do

@dansup @Gargron We all make mistakes, but recognizing them, apologizing, and moving forward is the right thing to do. I appreciate the work of everyone helping to build the Fediverse. We should all strive to be better than we are, together.

@dansup @Gargron So how does it work? It's not trending probably cause its being discussed all the time and not yk trending?

@dansup @Gargron whoopsie. Oh well, things happen.

@dansup It is not, and has never been, blocked.

@Gargron Really Gargron? Really?

@dansup are others seeing this option already? I'm not seeing an option for this on pixelfed.social

@dansup So this is Pixelfed.social specific? Or something that should work as well when using another Pixelfed instance, like @Pixey ?

@dansup what about sign-in with pleroma or misskey?

@dansup @pixelfed Translation: „Build removed: The developer has removed the build you were testing. Enable notifications and we will notify you when a new build is added.“

@pixelfed @dansup :pentagram:

@dansup so sad I missed it again!

@dansup That's good, because the default pagination is such a PITA.

@dansup Thats exactly what I waited for👌🏻
