I had a pretty rough day and contemplated just giving up on @pixelfed because it seems like I can’t catch a break

But after calming down, I started to remember all the big milestones and the people who believe in our platform and in me

I’m not ready to give up, in fact this was the kick in the ass I needed to get my priorities straight and focus on shipping the app ASAP and also Groups

I’m a few months behind on my NLnet Groups milestone and need the money so that’s my focus after the app

@dansup @pixelfed keep going Dan! What you’re creating is something very important.

I've been working hard on the @pixelfed mobile app and will be sharing a pre-release APK before I head to bed!

I can't emphasize how better it is, and it will only improve over the summer 😎

We're going to submit the app to the App Store/Play Store this weekend, and I'm so excited ✨

@dansup @pixelfed Does/will the Pixelfed app support Mastodon accounts? Or does it only work for the Pixelfed API?

@dansup @pixelfed I look forward to the Pixelfed app being live on the App Store! It is a beautiful, highly functional app!

Threads Muting Pixelfed And Other Fediverse Instances Over One Simple Rule

https://i.snap.as/1K7SWxF2.png

I remember @dansup@mastodon.social mentioning this last month (original post was deleted), but Threads by Instagram continues to mute the entire Pixelfed community as well as other Fediverse instances (also known as servers) over one simple rule.

Server guidelines

A server may be added to our server blocklist if it doesn't comply with our guidelines for communicating with Threads. [...]

We'll also block a server if it doesn't have a:

- Sufficient privacy policy; or
- Publicly available policy to restrict access to users under the age of 13; or
- Publicly accessible feed (Emphasis mine, via Instagram Help Center)

For those unaware, a publicly accessible feed is merely a stream on a local instance where anyone can view all of the public chatter on the server. Mastodon sums it best with this description:

To allow you to discover potentially interesting content, Mastodon provides a way to browse all public posts. Well, there is no global shared state between all servers, so there is no way to browse all public posts. When you browse the federated timeline, you see all public posts that the server you are on knows about. There are various ways your server may discover posts, but the bulk of them will be from people that other users on your server follow.

There is a way to filter the federated timeline to view only public posts created on your server: The local timeline. Mind that “local” here refers to the server, not to a geographical location. (Mastodon Documentation)

Pixelfed has a local timeline, but it is not publicly accessible to Threads, which explains why the site is muting the entire Pixelfed ecosystem and any other Fediverse instances that decline to allow Threads to access the public timeline without permission.

The Pixelfed creator Dan may resolve this issue by allowing instance admins to create a publicly accessible feed to allow their respective users to communicate with the greater Threads community.

However, in hindsight, it might be wise to leave it off by default, especially with numerous tech companies scouring the web to train the synthetic brains of artificial intelligence programs (Meta included, props to @r_alb@mastodon.social for alerting me about this).

It sucks to see users flock to another platform and not Pixelfed because the lack of official apps in the app stores.

I'm not resting until the app is ready to ship, enough is enough!

@dansup keep at it. I'm pretty new to the Fediverse. Made this account with Mastodon a few months ago & made a Pixelfed account last week

Platforms like Cara need funding to survive & it's a hard balancing act to be able to survive without selling your soul WHILE also making it attractive to artists & people who just want to look at pictures.

Something like Pixelfed takes back control & puts it into the hands of communities while still being accessible to everyone. This is important work.

@dansup The lack of an official app on iOS has been exactly why nobody in my friend/family group has tried it. It’s by far the biggest barrier.

7 June at 21:49 on post I'd like to start posting the featured art from @blenderartists on Cara.app, but I can't find any API...

@BartV @blenderartists

Post them on #pixelfed instead!
It’s like mastodon and not a single entity owned corporate social media.

I’m sure @pixelfed can help you with any api questions you might have about pixelfed and setting up an automation.

We're setting up Push Notifications for our mobile app, you may notice requests to push.pixelfed.net, this is why!

We may add support for other apps in the future, but for now they will be limited to the official app.

It boils my blood to hear folks insinuate that #PHP is the source of their performance problems and they should switch to microservices in another language to fix the performance issues. Maybe spend a little bit of time figuring out where your bottlenecks are and fix those, first!

(This may or may not be a sub-toot.)

An open source/self hosted and federated Tik-Tok alternative, made by @pixelfed has just successfully tested federation!

The new @pixelfed app is the 4th major rewrite, and I'm glad I waited, because the latest (open source) version is faster, prettier, and more native!

First impressions are everything, so I'm going to get it done right with pixel precision 💅

Sup, Loops and Later are separate apps for a reason, they will eventually be integrated but will remain independent apps/services

I'm building all these services tightly integrated because that simplicity is how you grow and build on the network effect

Experimenting with a "Made with AI" badge for servers that allow AI generated content if properly labelled.

We're also working on a setting to hide Made with AI posts on feeds, so you can better curate your experience!

@dansup does this also apply to images crafted by hand but using AI in their design / creative process? What if an artist creates parts on an image with AI but refines the rest by hand? I guess the latter feels more like deserving this flag as the former does. Then again you might want to also track works where AI played any part at all

The only problem is that those things that are being called AI are not AI.

Anyway, nice idea.

(I think that "High Coherence Media Generator" is a better name)

So I spent longer than expected working on the privacy settings in the new @pixelfed app

I don't regret it, we have some pretty awesome privacy features!

Looking forward to shipping the new mobile app, and working with artists, creatives and photogs to make our platform better for everyone.

It's not who did it first, it's who did it right ✨
