 Your home timeline displays this message when you've seen all the posts. I'm finding it annoying though, like heavy users would see it too much and light users might never see it. I think we should show at least the latest 3 posts and then this, even if you seen the latest 3 posts. Wdyt? #pixeldev #ux

 @dansup @activitypub you can use Duration for passing around the amount of time that the AP object will be around. After that propagate a Delete for it maybe(?). However you have to rely on services/apps honoring them, which might not be what users expect.   Had a great chat today with @grishka about federated groups! Also spoke with devs from other projects, really excited to ship the groups feature 😁 #pixeldev #fediverse #groups #activitypub @activitypub
[DATA EXPUNGED]
 @dansup @grishka @activitypub strong suggestion: avoid the giant trash fire of disinfo and hate groups that Facebook enabled with private groups. Instead, make all groups either fully Public, or “semi-public” where posts in groups don’t appear on my main feed, but still can be as searchable as any Mastodon toots. This time last year I was so caught up with my personal life, meeting my partner and then moving in with him. I know :pixelfed: is months behind schedule, and I'm sorry about that! Doing everything I can to get us back on track with the mobile app and features like federated stories and groups!

 I dunno what it is about "God Is" but I've been obsessed with this song and I'm not even religious lol Stories will support emoji reactions! Decided to limit it to 6 emojis I use the most when reacting to stories on other platforms. Would like to use more but the UI would get complicated. What do you think? #pixeldev #stories #reactions

 In case you ever need a story editor on Android, I could make one. I have way too much experience working with video and codecs and all that stuff on a low level.  My opinion on BlueSky is that it seems like a reaction to the scrutiny they face by governments around the world. If Twitter cared about the open web, they wouldn't have treated 3rd party api devs like they have. Don't forget they are a business, with shareholders and revenue expectations. #blueSky YouTube, TikTok, Facebook and Instagram are the more dominant platforms and it will be interesting to see if they follow suit. I don't think I'll ever learn to write "receive" and "achieve" correctly without thinking very hard about the right order of i/e in them. I want Pixelfed to have the best Group implementation just to prove we can. It took us so long to federate and get taken seriously, so I'm going all out on this. Can't wait to show you guys!

But why remove the content? This doesn't feel like it serves a useful purpose. It's more like a major inconvenience. In VK you could add stuff to a public group without even joining it. On Smithereen you can also post on a group's wall regardless of your membership. @dansup this kind of features is a carbon copy of centralised platforms! You prevent users to take responsibility for their actions. It's (at best) a paternalist approach, at worst a way to lock users into YOUR platform. I'm following your toots for a while now, and you are copying all the worst lock in systems developed by gafam. Such a pity to take them as an example and bring this ideology into the fediverse. Love this song! RÜFÜS DU SOL - Next To Me https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GPXiL6ynVG8 #np #fediplay #rüfüsDuSol :pixelfed: Group Stats: Frontend: 4723 LoC Started this 11 days ago, the frontend is the most complex part 😅 (Backend doesn't include federation code or existing code) Want to thank everyone for all the positive feedback, wasn't sure how groups would be received. Kind of overwhelmed that other projects care enough to want compatibility, I'm going to do my best! Never anticipated I would add Groups to Pixelfed. I saw how my partner uses FB Groups and it clicked. This is exactly what we're missing in the fediverse, a means to discover and engage with interests and topics that interest you. Hashtags and local/network timelines only do so much.

@dansup as others have said, this sounds like a reimplementation of Lemmy. To me, one of the nice parts of the fediverse is being closer to the Unix philosophy of do one thing, do it well, and communicate with an easy/open standard so others can do complementary things. Pixelfed is for photos. Lemmy (and the others) are for groups. @dansup I'm sure you've done the right choice, but have you considered Mobilizion ? |

@dansup are you trying to make a useful tool with well-defined purpose or are you trying to ~~~maximize engagement~~~? this is a no-brainer if you know which you're trying to do
Instagram needs this thing because of the confusing algorithmic feed. From my own experience, with a chronological feed, you don't need this — you remember what you've already seen and just stop scrolling on your own when it appears.
@dansup This message would annoy me, I think.
