@dansup no autoplay feels kinda unnatural imo

@dansup Love it, you guys are doing a great job!

@dansup this post mentions videos a few times, but I don't have the option to add videos from within the app. It hides all my videos and only allows me to upload still images.

dansup

Wow, almost 5000 people are testing the #pixelfedApp!

@dansup the #iOS app is an amazing piece of software. Works like a charm for me. Version (7) looks nearly featurecomplete for me as a use. Great work, thank You!

RobertSE

@dansup @pixelfed Any news about importing posts from Instagram?

Would love to move if the import works (again)

El Duderino

@dansup Please forgive the total noob question here, but how does one register for a pixelfed.social account? I'm super intrigued and downloaded the Testflight beta but not sure what to do next. Thanks!

@dansup @pixelfed thanks for all what you do and looking forward to an Android client. The mobile web works great also btw.

Brrr, the low for tomorrow is -39° C

It hit 45° C last summer!

Just another day in northern Canada 😅

Updated my bio with my full name, a better description of @pixelfed and finally added #fedi22 and submitted myself to the fediverse.info directory

I really need to improve the directory, it has a lot of potential!

fediverse.info/explore/topics/ #fediverseDirectory #fediverseInfo

Jon Henshaw :coywolf:

@dansup @pixelfed so will we be switching to #Fedi23 in January? Is the hashtag intentionally year based or could we switch to an evergreen tag like #FediDir

dansup

Shoutout to all the #activityPub developers that are dealing with this huge influx of people!

I have the unique privilege of running the only non-mastodon instance (pixelfed.social) among the top 20 most popular #fediverse instances.

Doing my best to keep it running smoothly, and also ship bug fixes, new features and the mobile apps 😅

@dansup

thank you and all the fedi people making a home for us to connect 🖖🏽

@dansup
Seriously, all of you #Fediverse #Developers and #InstanceAdmins have been absolutely amazing with the influx of people over the last month or so. Kudos to all of you, thank you, and keep up the great effort!

I closed new registrations on pixelfed.social but you can find an invite link on our discord! #pixelfed

@dansup I am a photographer on Mastodon. If I put hashtag pixelfed on my posts (toots) will it cross post there? I am new to all of this and appreciate your help.

Mitex Leo

@dansup Pixelfed.social has been removed from Official Directory 🥺... Love you 🖤

Vincent 🌻

@dansup Yikes, starting a #PixelFed profile was on my holidays to-do list… oh, well 🤷‍♂️

dansup

Admin Invites are ready to ship, the new web Compose UI is almost ready too!

Simpler onboarding, discovery and post creation across web and mobile platforms are my priority.

One more thing, I designed a beautiful new landing page with a public feed to highlight local content without having to log in/register.

Shipping soon 🚀 #pixelfed

dansup

Spent this evening working on media (S3) storage improvements.

Now to finish up admin invites, next up will be a new landing page design with an optional public feed so you can browse :pixelfed: servers without having to register! #pixeldev

Nafeon

@dansup thank you! the public feed is very important. Also it would be great to have the short description on the front page and a customizable icon (maybe as a second icon in case you want to stay on brand)

DanFell

@dansup great work! I cross follow myself on and pixelfed is starting to pick my posts with images in them quite nicely.

Snapai :verified_dragon:

@dansup

YES the public feed!
I've been having such a hard time finding artists (drawn media) on pixelfed because everything is so hidden on other instances of it! .....or because they're not there. But I'm assuming I just don't know where to look.

dansup

lmao I don't remember writing this, but it true

I thought it was a funny picture 🙄

Don't worry Allen, I will use a different picture so you don't have sexualized thoughts about a dog lol

@dansup I too immediately wanted to fuck this dog upon seeing it in a wig with eyebrows drawn on. 🤨 Totally normal thought to have about a dog.

Twitter right now is on fire.

This jackass is the best thing to happen to the fediverse, imagine spending 44 billion dollars on an ad campaign for your competitors 😂

@dansup Their new policy is interesting. I guess they're ok with pixelfed.


@dansup I actually use Twitter now more often, since it’s not a completely one-sided argument all the time. Now BOTH sides can look equally stupid in a debate.

dansup

It's been a crazy few weeks for Pixelfed, and I love it!

I received some very good news earlier today, just waiting for confirmation before I can share it 😁

@dansup when will the Pixelfed app display more than just ‘most popular’ in the explore feed? I’m sure it been requested but I’m curious if it’s actively in the works.

Blort™ 🐀Ⓥ🥋☣️

@dansup
You've been hired by Twitter to improve their user experience and reputation? 😈🤬😝

(ps. this is how most horrible rumors start...)

Shipping soon! 🚀 #pixelfed

10 years ago today I joined Twitter

6 years ago I joined Mastodon

4 years ago I started @pixelfed

What a wild journey, looking forward to the next 10 years on the #fediverse 🚀

💫 Tumblr x Fediverse

The reason I think an instance as large as Tumblr is detrimental to the fediverse is due to federation.

It only takes one interaction with tumblr for it to send Delete activities to every instance it knows, regardless of size.

You may not realize how often posts are deleted & federated at Mastodon scale, Tumblr would be 50-100x that.

This is just Delete activities, ingesting new tumblr posts + media at this scale is a whole other ball game #fediverse

@dansup i mean, the idea is definitely doing throttling to avoid DOSing other instances. that's something that's absolutely been considered.

jaranmiller

@dansup with this being the case, is the fediverse capable of becoming mainstream? If so, what must be in place for it to maintain a huge user base?

In #Flancia we'll meet

@dansup I say: [[fork]] the [[Federation]], then try to [[merge]] it back, with good intent and loving kindness
