If I had more time, I'd love to build a mobile app for Calckey, I think it would be fun

@dansup Someone figure out a way to clone him, quick!

KungFuDiscoMonkey

@dansup I feel you on that. So much I want to build but not enough time or energy to build everything 😅

NFG

@dansup - Now there's an app that might have a huge impact. I love miss/calckey, but the lack of a mobile app is a huge impediment to mass adoption.

Can't you just, you know, divide and multiply? ;)

dansup

Wow, 7455 accounts on pixelfed.social have selected at least 1 pronoun, that's roughly 10% of all users!

I will be updating this feature to remove the predefined list of pronouns to allow for freeform input!

github.com/pixelfed/pixelfed/b

wakest ⁂

@dansup Glad to hear about this change! This is something I requested when you first implemented the pronoun feature ages ago and I actually got in quite a scuffle over it my comments about it at the time.

I wasn't able to finish Post Edit support in the #pixelfedApp

Was hoping to ship this tonight, but it's 6am and I spent a lot of time refactoring the onboarding screens so it will take another day or two 😅

I'm happy with the progress I was able to make tonight though, onboarding is important and is now much better! #pixeldev

Thanks to everyone for the feedback on the @pixelfed app onboarding screens!

I'm going with this flow based on your feedback, and will leave the door open in terms of evolving the UX flow in the near future 😉

@dansup as I see migration mentioned in one of the screenshots: is there a how-to for that somewhere? I had a look last week and didn’t find any instructions on how to move between Pixelfed instances :)

@dansup Fantastic! ✨ Thank you for your work!

⚠️ Feedback wanted!

I'm working on improving the @pixelfed app onboarding, and want your feedback on the new sign up flow.

Does this do a good job at conveying the choice of communities to join while providing an easy default instance to join?

This isn't final, I'd like to get a general positive consensus on this before moving forward.

Boosts greatly appreciated!

@dansup @pixelfed Ya. Just signed up. Process was mostly smooth. Joining a community was straightforward and clear. Getting told my username was already in use, and then having to retype my password twice seems like unnecessary friction.

@dansup I like the revised version in general but on the scond screen you might want to give some positive reasons for looking at other communities. @pixelfed

Leonardo Mantovani

@dansup @pixelfed It looks good! But I would agree with @mairin about the "server suggestions".
I would skip the screen with few recommended ones and go directly to the one with all of them, possibly with some more details (language of the server, how many users, if there is a "topic" or is a general purpose server,...) to help people choose and maybe rotate the first ones in the list (that are most likely to be picked) in order to encourage decentralization

dansup

I'm aware of a formatting issue in Post Edits that don't honor newlines, a fix will be shipped after I'm done work! #pixelfed

dansup

Not bad, 1 day after release, 60 instances are running the latest @pixelfed version!

@dansup @pixelfed if we're using the Android app does it get pull in the latest version or is it totally different?

Oblomov

@dansup @pixelfed you release so often I'm actually surprised they manage to keep up 8-)

@dansup ooooh, that's awesome :) Have a "resting" account on your instance which is waiting for the app to be published in a non-faff installation fashion.

Pixelfed v0.11.8 will be tagged this weekend with Post Edit support!

I know v0.11.7 was just released yesterday, but we move fast! 3 releases in 1 month 😎

@dansup
I deleted my account on pixelfed.social without reading. Any chance I can get my user back?

Other instances aren't working with the app. I can't tell if it's a bug on the app or on the server.

@dansup @pixelfed Tried it just now.

Thanks for the possibility! 🙂

What does it mean when an article is edited?
Does it become like a new posting?
Or will it appear to be the same posting?
Will the changes permeate into the fediverse, to the same places as the original article?

Gabriele Pollara

@dansup @pixelfed I'm on Pxlmo and not seeing it - do the owners of that server need to do something to update to latest version?

dansup

The room is suddenly bombilating with anticipation.

Can we feel that? #pixelfed #loops

Theo ✨

@dansup hyped - this will encourage more accessible video content, both to watch and produce. Looking forward to enjoying the first version ^^

I asked ChatGPT: What is Pixelfed?

It wasn't wrong, still blows my mind how fast AI is progressing!

@dansup it's trained on data scraped on the web, it's not intelligent, I can find this information myself on a search engine and mayne change it up a bit to make it look like this.

dansup

I'd like to think that if he were still alive, he would support the fediverse, it aligns with everything he stood for.

You may be gone, but you are not forgotten ❤️

I ran into quite a few issues when I first implemented :pixelfed: Live

It's quite complex when you think about it, not only are you broadcasting an audio/video feed but you also have presence (concurrent viewers), comments, reactions and broadcaster metadata that need to be realtime and scale.

I look forward to shipping the new version, blog about it and nerd out on the technical details 😁

The feature is pretty cool, but I'm more excited about geeking out explaining it in a blog post 🤓

doodlemania

@dansup any chance it can go into the main Pixelfed app? Heard you have to have a special app for now?

Oblomov

@dansup IIRC @atomicpoet was also working on a streaming platform with s colleague of his. Will the protocol/API be compatible?

dansup

Crazy to think just a year ago I was learning react/react-native and began working on my first mobile app, Pixelfed Live!

Now I'm considering rewriting the webUI in RN, would be so nice to share code between the web and mobile apps and maintain a single "frontend" UI.

So proud of myself, and I'm thankful for all of you who pushed so hard for an official mobile app.

Joel

@dansup Lots of interesting stuff going on in the #PixelFed area. I just know it will grow when the apps are finally released on the app stores.

Instagram Import and Account Migration isn't that far away either!

- Import your IG account
- Migrate your account between Pixelfed instances
- Migrate your Mastodon, Pleroma, Misskey accounts to Pixelfed

Special thanks to @NGIZero for funding Account Migrations in @pixelfed

@dansup @NGIZero @pixelfed BRILLIANT would be awesome to be able to post to Instagram and pixelfed. It would encourage people to #DeleteFacebook and #DeleteInstagram

Vostronix :nonbinary_flag:

@dansup @NGIZero @pixelfed

but this means Pixelfed is now Supporting also normal Text Post without Images ?

Approval based registration is coming to @pixelfed

Similar to Mastodon, users will be able to register and be placed in a queue for admin approval before their account is made active!

This should help instances deal with spam sign ups. Admins will still be able to generate and share invite links to bypass this if approval mode is enabled.

Users will soon be able to share invite links too, if their admin has enabled them.

Lots of exciting updates on the horizon 😁

Martin Marguerat

@dansup @pixelfed it would be a great addition to run the instance in private mode without access if the user isn’t connected. To use Pixelfed as a closed comunity social the private instance + signup approvals are necessary

Robert von Burg :vegan: :tux:

@dansup @pixelfed This is probably a better idea than adding SMS validation. This has kept my Mastodon instance spam free.

lars

@dansup I don't quite understand how this is supposed to work/help.

It's a lot of work for the admins to manually approve accounts. But how can admins tell if an account will send #spam later on?

dansup

So based on that poll regarding providing your sms number during registration, I don’t think this would be worth it.

As @grishka pointed out, it gets expensive to send SMS, and others have mentioned how easy it is to get temp sms numbers.

I will not be pursuing this for Pixelfed, and thanks to everyone for your feedback! #pixelfed #pixeldev

wakest ⁂

@dansup @grishka Glad to hear you are not going this direction. I think relying on corporate infrastructure for moderation is the wrong direction and there is no way to have a selfhosted SMS provider...

Trenton Matthews

@dansup @grishka Well, everywhere except the USA for some reason. I wonder why that is though.

Hmmm… research time me thinks…
