Any good iOS apps for Lemmy or Kbin?

Am I going to have to write my own? 😅

@dansup there is github.com/buresdv/Mlem and github.com/gkasdorf/memmy both of which are in TestFlight and still a bit rough around the edges but progressing nicely! :)

@dansup
There is an app currently being created by
@hariette specifically for Lemmy and Kbin, (Artemis) which looks really exciting.

Now using Nuxt for pixelfed webUI and Next for pixelfed.blog and beta-preview.pixelfed.io

I don't mind mind it tbh, Vue and React are nice tools!

McNeely

@dansup what lead to the change and what were you using before?

rexum

@dansup but which is (a bit) better, vue or react?

dansup

Pixelfed + Nuxt + Tailwind

The future of the Pixelfed web UI is looking bright ✨

@dansup the question is, why do I need to know who viewed my story?
AFAIK I also don't know who viewed my other posts, and I'm additionally not really fond of having to confirm that X will see that I viewed their story each time for each story.
IMHO stories should be handled the same way as posts.

dansup

Wow, that's a lot of imported posts

Floppy 💾

@dansup Nice! Is that from people that started using the new import feature?

Congrats btw on finishing! I think that's a big milestone, maybe from a technical POV, for sure in terms of promoting Pixelfed. 💪

@dansup Will MEDIA_EXIF_DATABASE be put to use as walkaround for folks who closed their account before the IG feature for JSON in 2018? I have a useless backup from 2012.

@dansup
First of all thank you for the import tool and congratulations for the work.

On the other hand, perhaps it has already been mentioned, but while importing and having checked that all the photos were in the IG backup, I realized that after a certain point Pixelfed's import tool did not recognize the latest publications.

Then I found the problem:

The backup of those unrecognized posts is no longer done by IG in jpg but in webp.

Matt Stenson

@dansup can you view them on the web or only in app currently?

Gary Parker

@dansup all I can see is a picture of a dog from 2 weeks ago. Am I missing something? Why not boost it from your mastodon.social account?

Amy (She/Her)

@dansup I just saw it! That's nice. I also added one just for fun. I didn't find where to add text to my story though. How did you added the music to your story?

dansup

I'll be updating fedidb.org tomorrow to fix excessive caching leading to day old results, improve graphs and add a few new API endpoints!

@dansup Haha this account tricked me too, but the CIA would not write "we spy on you' into their description/bio.

dansup

7 hours later, 9000+ instagram posts have been imported into pixelfed.social

Can't believe that! 🚀

Brian Perry

@dansup Woah! That is a big import. BTW really enjoy Pixelfed.

ash

@dansup hey daniel, i can’t seem to login to Pixelfed or Vernissage through pixelfed.social, just infinitely loads. Not sure if this is a iOS 17 bug or what

Custom algorithms and bring your own domain are interesting features, and would be a good challenge I think 🤔

@dansup one suggestion: Call it something like 'content curating software' instead of algorithm, because for some that word is a big no no.

Brian Hawthorne

@dansup Between hashtag following, lists, mutes, and filters, I’ve built myself a very enjoyable dynamic ActivityPub algorithm using Mona app and my account on a Mastodon instance. I always see far more interesting content than I could ever read, and I tweak my algorithm regularly to balance between an overwhelming firehose of posts and a disappointing trickle.

For me, the filters are the most difficult to change because they are implemented on the account settings at the instance, but are also super important. My 3 major filters are “Asshole” which hides posts regarding the orange-faced man-child, “Twitter” which does the same for RTs and similar, and “Sportsball”, which is an ever-expanding list of sports, sports organizations, and sports events, none of which I really give a damn about.

BYOD would be great!

@dansup Bluesky’s custom algorithms is a really neat feature

dansup

3600+ Instagram posts have been imported to pixelfed.social and the feature has only been available for 3 hours!

@dansup where is the option to import from Instagram?

🐈Natalie Perret🍫

@dansup oh so there is a feature to import my IG, this is getting interesting 👀

TastyWheat

@dansup Wow! I don't care for uploading photos to the Internet but that UX and the latency are quite good.

dansup

Now that's shipped, I can finish Share to Pixelfed and Push Notifications in the official @pixelfed apps!

A nice side effect is that the webUI and PWA will also get Push Notification support

Looking forward to another productive week 😎

@dansup @pixelfed Can anyone import from Instagram now or is it still in a beta state?

Brian Hawthorne

@dansup @pixelfed Will import from Instagram be added to the iOS beta at some point?

gergo

@dansup @pixelfed man, you are on fire 🔥🔥🔥💪💪💪

The import status id backdating algorithm was the most difficult part of IG import.

It supports up to 999,999 users and is properly ordered by date (and random id that is incr by day and rolls over to the next day with leap year support, that was fun)

If @pixelfed ever needs to support more than 1 million users, I'll need to revisit the algorithm 😅

github.com/pixelfed/pixelfed/b

dansup

I was so hesitant on supporting IG import for the longest time because of handling zip archives, and even considered building a service that every instance would use.

NLnet didn't like that, and it made me rethink the implementation and that's when the light bulb went off.

Why upload the zip at all? Why not just unarchive it in browser and allow users to select the posts.

This removes the server zipbomb issue, and is more privacy friendly as server only gets just the selected posts.

@dansup I guess you could say...

... that's some real out-of-the-(server)-box thinking 😎

Dave

@dansup foremost massive thanks and congratulations, but I do have one tiny request: can we have a 'select all' so I don't have to click 100s of photos? 🫠

dansup

When it comes to scalability and performance, @pixelfed is quite efficient and fast

Being able to keep up with growth spurts as we experienced many times since last November was crucial to continued growth and stability

We have a lot of room to improve this though, and I'm working on some pretty exciting improvements that will put us among the most efficient/fast AP implementations

Simon

@dansup @pixelfed Breaking: Random guy called Daniel is more innovative than half of silicon valley combined.

@dansup Presumably it will be import from JSON rather than HTML Daniel? IG gives us both options

appgefahren.de - Apple-Blog

@dansup Do you have a time frame for the official release for iOS in Apples App Store?

dansup

Just fixed rss/json feeds in the new @pixelfed blog!

pixelfed.blog/rss/feed.xml

Might add ActivityPub support to next.js 😉

Emelia 👸🏻

@dansup @pixelfed hm! I wonder if there's a next.js middleware that can make it an actor on activitypub easily?
