The new @pixelfed app has been released to our Android beta testers 🎉

Waxing and Waning

@dansup @pixelfed

It's stunning @dansup thank you for all your hard work!

Cris

@dansup @pixelfed will it eventually release on f-droid?

dansup

Just building the pre-release APK for our eager beta testers on Discord and Matrix.

What comes next
Will be
Marvellous

Almost ready to ship the new @pixelfed app, currently at 70 staged commits and counting

We're almost there folks, please standby for deployment to TestFlight and Google Play 🚀

@dansup @pixelfed on days like this I'm happy I have an iOS AND an Android phone :catjam:

@dot_social First of all thanks for this great channel. Could I suggest an interview also with @dansup? It's not only #pixelfed. He's been doing a lot for the fediverse. If needed, I can help with preparation, questions and whatever. Thanks!

dansup

Leveraging FediDB.org for community moderation and safety tools isn't a new idea.

I look forward to prototyping this after Groups and the new app are released!

@dansup oh no this is going to mean yet another tool for deliberately isolating trans women... I hope you'll reconsider this but not holding my breath.

The @pixelfed app admin dashboard is finished, will be sharing the pre-release APK on Discord/Matrix later today 🎉

The @pixelfed app will autoplay videos, with the ability to enable this in the settings 🔥

@dansup @pixelfed Came to request that this be off by default but it seems you already addressed this request. Thanks for being awesome!

@dansup @pixelfed Any news on when iOS version is submitted to either TestFlight or App Store ? Long time beta tester here, just trying to keep up with the latest :)

@dansup @pixelfed I'm fine with autoplay on by default, but automute should be a thing. Even the video demo nearly made me do a spit-take.

If I want to listen to something, I can click on a sound button to listen to it.

The Future is Federated: here are my top 10 reasons why #Mastodon is the best social media platform there is: blog.elenarossini.com/top-10-r

Basically, a guide for "normies" attempting to convince them to join Mastodon and the #Fediverse

@_elena Excellent post Elena, and I love your blog (both content and style)

Could you add Bluesky to the comparison? I think it's a valid alternative

@_elena @dansup @cheeaun @ivory @phanpy @IceCubesApp I had no idea flipboard was attracting so many main stream influences and news sites until this post. It seems to be a more attractive site for the normies, possibly because they had prior interactions with it.
SOOOO many food bloggers

I threw out my back this weekend, the app release will take a few more days, though the process has been started ✨

We have enough Android beta testers to submit the full app, and we have thousands of pre-registration sign ups 🚀

It's going to be a big week for @pixelfed

dansup

Good crawlers identify themselves, like on fedidb.org/crawler.html

Recently someone reported an issue with submitting their instance and after some investigation it was determined they or their hosting provider is blocking our user agent.

After I wrap up a few things, I will jump back to FediDB and add robots.txt support for easier exclusion.

I'm really proud of the new @pixelfed app Discover screen!

We operate a service called beagle that will help pixelfed servers of all sizes discover content.

This means, no matter what Pixelfed server you're signed into, you will have a full Discover page!

@dansup @pixelfed that's cool, that was my issue with peertube, which is you get completely different content depending on the server you use and you can only discover people from other servers by manual search

Zbigniew 'Emill' Pławecki ♿️🎮

@dansup when can we expect the app to be available in stores officially? I have a couple of friends who love the idea of Pixelfed and would gladly use it already as an app 😎

@pixelfed

Btw, I've been working on a complete redesign of the @pixelfed webUI.

It's fucking gorgeous, and will reduce resource usage

The landing page is full of content and discover related suggestions, and you can more easily browse without an account.

#soon

The @pixelfed discover screen has so much potential, that's why I've been working on a lil secret side project.

This is my surprise for the app, and I think artists, creatives, photographers and everyone in between will love this feature!

I seriously can't wait to ship this 🚀

@pixelfed

I love what you do and the idea of helping with discovery, but...

basing it on popularity rather than the users unique interests just recreates one of the big problems of traditional silo media, the two caste system.

First you have the "upper" caste accounts (aka "Mr Beast"s) who got popular early and then snowball as being popular means being more recommended means being more popular ad infinitum. Then the lower caste will never be recommended as they're not already popular.

@dansup @pixelfed Looking forward to trying this. Looks like it’s come along way since the last beta build

CubeOfCheese

@dansup @pixelfed it wasn't immediately obvious to me how you would add alt text. I'm guessing by tapping the settings icon below the picture?

Luca Degasperi

@dansup @pixelfed love the work you’re doing, just a heads up: shouldn’t the warning color be yellow instead of red? Red generally denotes an error but this is not the case.
