@dansup Thanks for all your hard work! If there's any specific stuff you need that might be of use, such as testing or even funding, please let us know!!

I absolutely love using Pixelfed.

So many people are getting into the fediverse that they've even managed to break Smithereen in yet another unexpected way. It turns out MySQL has a limit on the number of simultaneously open connections and my server hit it yesterday. It was 150, I raised it to 1000.

@dansup does anyone know: is this for an upgrade? or is pixelfed.social also getting hit heavily (i hope its not more spam).

dansup

I have a few domains, but earlier today I registered the most expensive domain.

It cost so much because it's a "premium domain", and will be used in an upcoming #pixelfed feature!

I think it will be worth it, can't wait to share more details 😉

Pixelfed remains the only fediverse project with a sole developer*, and I'm doing my best to balance everything 😅

My schedule for the next few weeks involves:

- new pixelfed.org
- new mobile app features
- android beta
- new fedidb.org
- federated discovery
- federation bug fixes
- improving backend scalability

* - frontend/backend/mobile app development

@dansup Hey! I just wanna ask if pixel uses matrix which in returns collect too many data than any? So, how its a foss alternative. We should own the data.

@dansup Thanks for Pixelfed! Loving it so far. I have a question. I signed up on the Pixelfed.social instance, and tried to follow my Pixelfed account from within Mastadon.

But, when I check it on my Following list, it shows as “pending,” as if it’s waiting for me to approve it on the Pixelfed side.

I duplicated this behaviour on another instance (federated.photos).

How do I get the follow to be confirmed, rather than pending?

dansup

Love seeing people mention #pixelfed when discussing mastodon or the fediverse.

I feel so fortunate for the fediverse, pixelfed wouldn't exist without you, and I strive to exceed your expectations ❤️

@dansup What's the reason it's not possible to natively share a pixelfed photo to a Mastodon account?

The Satyr

@dansup #pixelfed turned to be my default photo social media. Can’t wait to use it in a mobile app.

@dansup because it's freaking awesome <3 <3 as we're primarilly an #aiart community I'm encouring our users to pixel.artemai.art :3

dansup

Super pumped for the new pixelfed.org website and server directory.

Once released, #pixelfed admins will be able to easily submit their instance to the new pixelfed.org from their admin dashboard!

Hoping to ship this later this weekend, or next week 🚀

dansup

I think it's time to move pixelfed.social to its own dedicated server.

It's currently hosted on a 16 GiB/8 vCPU Droplet and I can get a decent dedi from OVH for about the same price

Ralf

@dansup ever checked out netcup? codeberg.org is hosted on their servers and they seem quite affordable

3dcandy

@dansup has it been struggling? As I've not seen any issues my end....

dansup

pixelfed.social is experiencing a surge in traffic that is causing our job queue to back up, we're working to speed things up again 😅

dansup

Working on the new pixelfed.org website tonight.

We're migrating from a static html site to a custom CMS in order to support the server directory and other features.

It's a lot of work, but I think it will be worth it 😉 #pixeldev #pixelfed

@dansup Is this a sneak peak? If it is looking good so far.

Oliver

@dansup Great to see that the Pixelfed-environment is growing and growing. Keep it up!

@dansup @dansup Thanks for all the hard work! Pixelfed is seriously good and got me to ditch Instagram 🥳🥳🥳

piratenpanda

@dansup I hope as a default everywhere not mixed like it's currently

dansup

By default, DMs from accounts you don't follow are hidden away in the filtered/requests tab (unless disabled)

I mean it's kind of nice that Pixelfed doesn't have push notifications and has privacy filters like this so you're not subjected to abuse/spam so easily as compared to other platforms but on the other hand you have to remember to check these every so often 😅

Lapineige

@dansup that would be an interesting feature for every notification.
You pick a choice: receive all notifications by default, or only those from "selected" people (mutuals) and expose your attention to other people notifications if/when you want to.

Darshak Parikh

@dansup Would it make sense to show a count indicator next to Filtered?

That way, more people can remember to check those every time (and only if) they're on the messages page, without receiving push notifications.

dansup

It's unfortunate to see fedi apps, instances and projects come to an end.

It really makes you appreciate those still around, show them some love once in a while, it could mean the world to them!
❤️

@dansup I tried to sign up for Fedi but it kept failing for fedi.app. I guess this is the end.

Charadon

@dansup A reminder to all, if you have a dollar a month to spare, donate it to your favorite foss/fedi project, it's only 12 dollars a year.

dansup

Believe it or not, this is the most complex part of the new pixelfed.org server directory.

I thought I'd make more progress tonight but alas I underestimated the side effects of the favourite posts aspect 😅 #pixeldev

dansup

The new pixelfed.org server directory I'm working on is pretty neat.

Admins can easily update their listing via the admin dashboard.

On the pixelfed.org side, updates will be manually approved before going live.

The direct connection between instances and pixelfed.org will enable us to more strictly enforce our Privacy Pledge and keep listings up-to-date in near real time! #pixelfed

David Chartier

@dansup The dev docs he linked are over my head. Is their federation compatible at all with ActivityPub or the rest of the fedi? Or did they build a different standard?

FediThing

@dansup

It's probably either ads or some kind of cryptocurrency/token promotion.

I have difficulty believing they are doing this platform for non-financial reasons.

dansup

I'm having a blast working on the new pixelfed.org!

The server directory/instance picker is unlike any you've seen before, and I can't wait to share more!! #pixeldev

dansup

It's the spelling mistakes for me, when will someone invent the ability to edit text in images on mastodon 😅 #brighest

dansup

Working on the new pixelfed.org website, it’s so gorgeous! Can’t wait for y’all to see it, this is long overdue 😅

@dansup Will there be an option to switch to the old site?


@dansup I’d just be happy if you’d allow my posts on pixelfed.social to be public instead of them being unlisted 🤷🏻‍♂️

dansup

Now that I'm building my own mobile app for #pixelfed, I have a new found respect for fedi app devs.

The temptation to refactor APIs in favour of my app or remove support for 3rd party apps like we see all the time outside of the fediverse doesn't exist.

There is no incentive for me to limit 3rd party apps or clients.

This is the power of the #fediverse and #freeSoftware

Viva la revolución!
