@dansup Hi Dan. Am I missing something, or is there no log in field on the main landing web page of Pixelfed ?? @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 ♪ I admit pixelfed.social is savage when it comes to "suspensions" we don't even tell you, you just gone, girl bye 🚪 Sometimes I mess up, lol, so I'm working on an appeal feature to allow me to say "girl bye" one more time or "...Kandy, Kandy, wait. Stop. I’m not ready for you to go, not yet. You are safe to slay another day." The #pixelfedApp will soon display images/videos in a 1:1 aspect ratio (square), you will be able to tap to view full screen or pinch to zoom, or double tap to like or triple tap to slide in them dms Dynamic heights and FlatLists are like Regina and Cady after she knew about the fat choc bars. Mobile app dev is a lot like Mean Girls, you gotta find balance

@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. Reblogs on the #pixelfedApp home feed really don't feel right, it just feels like mastodon. I don't think they should be enabled by default, or maybe I could algorithmically limit boosts by default. I don't know, what do you think? It's a big change, reblogs are more frequent than image-only posts on avg

@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. I was thinking we would use a hash of the phone number, and associate that with accounts. Clients would hash the phone numbers and use the partial hash range. We don't need to know the actual phone number, and we would do partial hash lookups similar to hibp (https://haveibeenpwned.com/API/v2#SearchingPwnedPasswordsByRange) to preserve privacy in a secure fashion

@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? Anonymous poll

Push notifications on a federated platform (like Pixelfed or Mastodon) with 3rd party app support is hella complex, and the way gargron implemented it deserves much appreciation. See, he could have limited push notifications to the official Mastodon app, but no, he had to do the ethical thing and make it available to any 3rd party app and service like UnifiedPush. We're lucky to have developers like him, meanwhile I'm like considering just my app have push notifications cuz it's much easier 😅 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 @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 Hey, I need your advice. After Instagram import, I can't see imported pictures on my profile. Please see the screenshot. #pixelfed #pixelfed365

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