What three superpowers do you wish you had?

The Cuddlepunk Cub

@dansup teleportation, telekinesis, and super intuition

@dansup Amazon presents Invado, the latest in home invasion you buy yourself and that reports what you own and what could be sold to you to us, Amazon. 😱

Improving storage management is one of the goals I'm working on (mastodon.social/@pixelfed/1069)

Although you might never use it, the storage file browser will allow you to browse and manage media files stored locally!

dansup

Redesigned the #fediDB software directory to make it easier to browse projects.

The real magic is the new 'about' and 'library' sections, can't wait to share more 😉

dansup

Almost done refactoring #fediDB developer tools so you can use them without creating an account!

dansup

Finally have enough data to show meaningful stats! #fediDB #activitypub

wakest ⁂

@dansup oh nice! Will there be graphs on individual instances as well? Like how many signups that month etc

Justinas Dūdėnas

@dansup
Nice.
Speaking of meaningful, could you also share stats with absolute numbers, or at least show scale for graphs? From this image it is not possible to tell for example, if we see increase of 10 users, 1k users or 1m users.

My socialhub thread about Pixelfed Groups got hijacked lol, interesting to see some of the responses.

Will be back to working on Groups this weekend, and will post an update to that thread!

@dansup
Sorry, I participated in the hijacking, but in my very feeble partial defense, that thread was posted in the fediverse as a standardization effort...only later did I see your OP. I am ashamed of myself...

:pixelfed: Stories are a great way for me to share early development updates and gather feedback from people privately! #pixelfed #pixeldev

dansup

Almost 50k :pixelfed: users!

Can't believe we doubled our total user count in the past year, feeling so grateful!

Thanks to everyone who has been a part of our crazy journey, looking forward to the next year :blobaww: #pixelfed

dansup

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

GMate8

@dansup i want to follow that account lmao

dansup

So happy that people are using stories, even see a few federated ones 😁

How do you like the new stories? Anything we can improve? #pixelfed #askFedi

@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
There really should be a way of viewing stories without notifying that you personally viewed it and when, just like email read receipts are generally optional.

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.

Any suggestions? #pixelfed #pixeldev #groups

@dansup Maybe each group can be placed under a certain category?

Some categories can be:
gaming
Sports
Basketball
Music
Technology

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
If you go by user count or even most recently updated, you'll fall into the same trap of most social media, which is promoting the groups that are already the most popular over the groups that are the most relevant. This leads to a handful of groups dominating, while new, interesting ideas wither.

I would suggest you promote groups whose tags (for the group itself and the groups posts) match the user's tags (for their profile, posts and boosted posts). Match by topic, not popularity.

@dansup I personally think it looks like bloat. Is it possible to disable the feature when it's released?

dansup

I wish there was a way to opt-out of GitHub's new high contrast light theme.

CMDR Yojimbosan UTC+(12|13)

@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?

isobel

@dansup You can - it's called gitlab.com (or gitolite if you want to host it internally/yourself.)

Григорий Клюшников

There is. Install Stylus or something similar and have it your way ;)

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!

#pixelfed #pixeldev

exstral

@dansup interesting, but what are bearcaps?

dansup

Donda and CLB are pretty good but I think Montero might be better. #music
