Is there any interest in an official Pixelfed hosting service?

Pay as low as $5/month for your own instance with an export feature to easily migrate your data to your own server down the road if you choose.

This could help fund development and our other initiatives like fediverse.info!

@pixelfed I would sign up instantly depending on what the $5 plan provides. Otherwise I'll run my own instance if it's a large gap.

@pixelfed@mastodon.social Yeah, I discovered this toot via Google! ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿ˜‚

I would pay between $10-$25/month for this @dansup! I am serious too! I tried a host with @pixelfed@pixelfed.social but it did not Federate while others are โ€œconsideringโ€ #PixelFed (despite supporting Mastodon).

Maybe a Pixelfed premium hosting option, similar to how Automattic has a Premium WordPress.com hosting option & #Element has a premium @matrix hosting option.

Jonathan Jones :mastodon:

@pixelfed Is this idea still being considered? It's something I'm interested in for sure...

I know pixelfed is for pictures but why should something like this be in a picture ? :-)

@pixelfed Tried the ldap feature. Setup went trough successful. (Screenshot)
But ldap users cant log in. How can I debug this better to find the reason? Logfile is not that helpful.

pixelfed

Direct Messages still use the old UI, we've been working on a Metro 2.0 design optimized for both desktop or mobile browsers and light or dark mode!

Also we included a privacy warning similar to Mastodon!

We're looking into encrypted direct messages and look forward to working with other projects on this important endeavour!

@pixelfed Question: if I decide at some future point that I am moving from one Mastodon instance to another, how would that work? Can I delete my existing profile I submitted to your directory? Thanks!

@pixelfed Yup a happy friday as it brings after, a joyful saturday :blobcatrainbow: .

stuxโšก

@pixelfed No you didn't :blobcatgiggle:โ€‹

Off-topic question! Is there a way we can make the new UI default for Pixelfed? I mean the oldskool is not really needed anymore!

pixelfed

We made fediverse.info for you, the #fediverse.

This represents more than just Pixelfed, and we recognize how important it is to remain unbiased and not use this to further our own project.

Our long term goal for fediverse.info is to turn it over to a reputable, non-profit organization if possible!

Your feedback is invaluable and has helped shape the project thus far, let us know what you think about this!

@pixelfed Would it make sense for your table to have a category for non-micro blogging (ie, "regular blogging"?) Hometown supports that (I think?) and Pleroma (I think??).

Also, you rate peertube and mastodon as both being able to host videos, but doesn't mastodon have notably different size limits?

fyrfli ๐Ÿ•Š

@pixelfed How about a way to federate content contributions?

Jesse Karmani

@dansup kudos for launching this project! The information is well-laid-out and easy to find. Love the directory idea too! Would love to be able to add myself with a status hashtag, rather than needing to keep it in my bio.

@pixelfed Hello,
I think your Profile Detection doesn't seem to be working properly. Despite added hashtag, unfortunately it does not recognize the fedi22.

GMate8

@pixelfed @Gargron could you make it that we could set interests in a tab like we have now for links? It would be easier to separate and bio wouldn't be spammy

person

@pixelfed Could we get a page that lists all the hashtags? Optionally with the ability to filter tags based on how many people have it in their bio? Just searching for hashtags isn't as explore-friendly.

pixelfed

It's been 24 hours since we launched fediverse.info! We never anticipated the response, thank you โค๏ธ

Our directory now has 587 topics from 120 people ๐ŸŽ‰

We replaced the landing page video with one by @Framasoft and made other small improvements! #fediverseInfo

pixelfed

PSA: If you're having troubles submitting your Pleroma account to the fediverse.info/explore/people directory, try using following format:

instance.tld/users/username

(don't forget to add https:// at the beginning!)

DELETED

@pixelfed
If you do this on mobile, the input field starts with an uppercase character (resulting in Https), however the validation on the scheme is case sensitive and disallows it until you lowercase it with the generic message of the URL being invalid.

The latter might not contain the information most end users need to know that an uppercase H isn't allowed.

Keunes

@pixelfed
That's a great tool! Hope more people will sign up. Would be great if it were possible to search on a combination of hashtags, e.g. EU + OpenSource

@pixelfed a lot of curious people it looks like ๐Ÿ˜„ quick question is the iOS beta still a thing? I keep an eye out here and on PixelFed for it, but is there somewhere to register so we get notified when it is available? Canโ€™t wait! Keep up the good work!

@pixelfed I think that's pretty weird, to be honest.

@pixelfed When will it be possible to edit every detail of a post? Can't imagine a reason that this isn't possible in 2022.

spaceotter :mastodon: ๐Ÿณ๏ธโ€๐ŸŒˆ

@pixelfed Looking forward to the next release.
Love the re-organized sections in the Profile Settings.

In the Compose window could we add a text field below the Sensitive toggle that appears when Sensitive is toggled on so we can enter some CW text.

Again great work. Can't wait to try out the new changes.

pixelfed

Did you know you can search & interact with text-only posts from mastodon?

Though we remain photo focused, being able to follow and interact with non-photo formats is important to us! #pixelfed

@pixelfed Pixelfed definitely needs an app for phones. Mastodon one is great

Ombra ๐Ÿ”ต๐ŸŒป

@pixelfed Are you working on showing pixelfed photos inside Mastodon?

I see this when following pixelfed accounts from Mastodon.

Does this mean that I need to follow an account, and then I'll see all new posts?

pixelfed

Accessibility is important, and often taken for granted by those who don't depend on it.

That's why we added the option to require every photo you post to contain an alt-text description before it can be posted!

We're working to enforce this on 3rd party/mobile apps too.

@pixelfed maybe offer to connect with a service that suggests keywords and or description of pic/vid? don't know how or which, would just be very helpful to keep the work flow flowing ๐Ÿ˜Š

Gregory Chamberlain ๐Ÿฎ

@pixelfed I think a good approach is to strongly encourage users to write alt-texts and to remind users when they forget. The interface could provide examples to give users an idea of how to write a good alt-text if they're not used to it.

Dashtop

@pixelfed don't enforce. But strongly suggest on install.
