Well that didn't take long, a spam account has posted a few stories lol Maybe they don't realize they are only visible to followers

@dansup TBH i still don't get the purpose of those "stories" no matter which social network. When all i have to say isn't for long, then i don't have a point, right?

 @dansup It looks like you already have a warning page so how about just replacing the "Cancel" button with "View anonymously"? Yes, the server admin could likely jump through hoops to figure out who viewed what regardless, but that doesn't justify automating this in the UI for every user. Now I'm back on groups, I find the challenge is going to be discovery. Using member count for suggestions probably isn't the ideal way to rank them. There is a section below the fold for groups your mutuals are in.

 @dansup Maybe each group can be placed under a certain category? Some categories can be: Maybe even some tags so lets say I create a pokemon go group, and categorize the group under gaming but add a pokemon go tag. @dansup I personally think it looks like bloat. Is it possible to disable the feature when it's released?  @dansup Just opt out from GitHub. It isn't difficult. Why would you continue to use a platform that takes your code, asks what license you want, and then actively ignores your choice?  Pixelfed Stories are federated using a custom activity type, bearcaps and only delivered to other :pixelfed: instances (for now). The bearcap object can only be fetched for 20 minutes, after that we rotate story media urls. It works great, and to think we went from not-federating for so long to being the first AP-only project to use bearcaps! Please consider opting out an update version for cloudron badly need messaging feature working @dansup Can’t wait for the pixelfed app! That’s probably gonna give pixelfed a huge boost. Let me know when the beta starts. In addition, we're using bearcaps and a limited time window for fetching the activity object. Story media urls will be rotated after the window closes. Really excited for the Desktop Compose UI! Had a blast building it, I hope people find it easier to use! #pixelfed #composeUI Could you please fix the compose error which doesn’t let compose this is my site I cannot afford my friends to visit the site cause compose doesn’t work literally the drop down list which appears when entering a users name doesn’t work at all Why aren’t you aware of this and why aren’t you bothered at all? While composing is an essential feature Think I might spin up a new pixelfed instance on activitypub.social to host a group or two. Registration would be closed, but that shouldn't be a problem 😉 #groups #activitypub #fediverse @activitypub @activitypub or maybe activitypub.network, not sure which domain to use. Finally will get some use out of some of these domains 😅  @dansup Would actually love to see that on :pixelfed: On Revolut for example you have a story like that at the beginning of next month showcasing what features they introduced in the previous month, it's really cool because some features are not so easy to notice 😀
