I feel incredibly blessed that Pixelfed has grown so much over the past year.

Total users, posts and active users have doubled, and our project is among the top 5 most popular.

Though we haven’t had our viral moment like Mastodon or PeerTube, I’m confident that when we do, we’ll be ready.

I look forward to the next 3 years and beyond! 😁 #pixelfed #activityPub #Fediverse

@dansup And that's without a native app. I think that with its release the growth rate will be different

Asked some friends to use Pixelfed, they didn't know who to follow.

Empty timelines is not good for onboarding or new user experience.

Adding Suggested Posts to an empty timeline will encourage users to discover and engage with content without having to follow someone.

The classic "you signed up, now what" problem. Will address that in Smithereen at some point too.

@dansup good to see this getting added. Much as I despise the continual "you might know X" interruptions from Instagram, etc. the encouragement to follow more people and explore is a side-effect I'd like more of over here (and with *my* interests at heart, rather than those of some manager's "engagement metrics" 🙂 )

Am I right in thinking Pixelfed will federate with Mastodon, etc. as it's all ActivityPub?

@dansup It should be obverse that we should always push account that and small to medium in following. We should not push big accounts in auto fallowing code. Basic stuff.

The new Home Timeline will keep track of what posts you've seen to show you posts you haven't seen.

When you reach the end, you can browse Suggested Posts or View Older Posts!

@dansup If in the above section, you implemented a slider with people who may be interested, instead of the states of the people I follow like instagram (I prefer people to follow) ... it would be better

Improved the Network section on #fediDB, you can now filter by open registration and instance rules (Mastodon + Pixelfed only)!

What other filters would you like to see?

@dansup that looks very useful! This is meant to be constructive feedback, sorry that it came so long...

-looks unclear if "6m ago" means 6 minutes or 6 months
-show new statuses in last 30 days
-show active users in last 30 days
-order by number of new statuses / active users
-change number of results per page (up to 100, that's what I'd use) or infinite scroll
-combined filter by domain + software, e.g. fedidb.org/network?s=peertube&
-not sure if it's meant to be found by your tool and automatically indexed, I couldn't find the Peertube instance on videos.scanlines.xyz

@dansup congrats and welcome to the wonderful world of 5G reception :P

Make sure not to sleep on that arm, I made that mistake and regretted it for the whole day ;)

Christiaan :fedora: :flag_nl:

@dansup you look younger then, yet you've had your first shot already? In which country do you live? 🤔

Ton of #FediDB updates to deploy later today 😁

(I will also be open sourcing it today)

@dansup It's been too long since I've listened to Kings of Leon. My mom used to play them a lot. They kinda have meaning to me from that, but of course, each song has its own meaning to me as well. I ought to give them a listen sometime again.

Good Morning! Got my first vaccination appointment booked for this Friday 😁

Good Morning!

Discovered a spammer had sent hundreds of DMs on pixelfed.social to local users.

Since we filter out DMs from accounts you don't follow, no notifications were sent and impacted very few users.

FediDB now displays #NodeInfo info, software version and more stats if available.

More updates coming this weekend!

Those numbers counting up for 2 seconds are a bit annoying tbh

Upcoming Instagram changes warn users to accept activity tracking to "Help keep Instagram free of charge" 🙄 #deleteInstagram

@dansup The way that's phrased is pretty wild.

"Please let us continue to track everything you're doing on your phone."

I really need to find a decent Pixelfed instance ASAP.

@dansup i ALWAYS want my ads to be personalized to me! Always looking for more insecurities for capitalism to project onto me 😌😌

You can now opt-out on FediDB!

This will prevent your instance from being crawled or searchable on #FediDB.

Got a m1 macbook air a few weeks ago, my 2015 mbp was really starting to show its age.

This is much faster 😁

@dansup Was thinking of getting the m1 Imac. did they boost the ram cause that's lagging my Logic pro and plugins

Григорий Клюшников

2015? Showing its age? Lol. I have a 2012 pro. It's okayish, except when you need to build something big. Still looking forward to whatever comes out this year. More ports? NO TOUCH BAR?!?!

🎵 "I’m going nowhere…if you’ve got the time" 🎶

@dansup just listened to it, great song! Thanks for the suggestion.

The spam detection system works great, over 1600 posts have been caught and prevented from appearing on timelines (on pixelfed.social)!

Sometimes the spammer will appeal, which means they are adapting to our new measures 😄 #pixelfed #pixeldev #spam

This is the cofounder of FediDB, his name is Tuk and he is working on finding the email bug. #cat #catsOfMastodon #developerCat

@dansup got him mid bleep!

I noticed one thing only at the top of the page on Firefox for iOS. The nav seems transparent?
