Seeing what happened with cohost I'm so glad I turned down VC funding for @pixelfed We can grow sustainably, without sacrificing the mission or our ethics! Pixelfed is proudly funded by people like you ✨

@pixelfed Thanks, @dansup , for all you do. As a kid I was always told that cats and dogs don't get along well, but so far I've only seen the opposite

BTW I have some issue to upgrade old version (v0.11.12), where I can find some help? Or is somewhere upgrade guide for that old versions? We just shipped partial Account Migration support! This means: - You can migrate from other servers to Pixelfed We say partial, because we are missing one final piece to support outbound migration to Pixelfed, Mastodon or other platforms. That final piece will be shipping later today! @pixelfed What about Instagram import? I’ve tried one today and even though it started migrating 56 posts nothing has finished migrating. People over profits is the real magic of fedi We're building the future ✨ No shareholders. Just people. Yeah, we'll probably see monetization and corporate interests join the fedi, and that's okay because the power of the protocol lies in choice And the best fediverse platforms are open source and mostly good stewards of AP interop Y'all made this happen, us devs can only take so much credit ❤️

@dansup the natural state of the web and other technologies is federated. Think DNS, Web, Mobile, Email and now social media. Monetisation is not a dirty word because creators, developers, admins etc need to keep the servers on and the apps developing but profit maximisation above all else just for shareholders is not the goal of the fediverse. Money is another industry that needs federation. e.g bitcoin micropayments called SATs sent P2P over the lightning network is the future. Love the support, y'all keep me energized and hungry. Burnout? I don't know her 💅 Doesn't she rap or something? wait! I can move my mastodon account into pixelfed? Without loosing ppl? Whats next? not loosing data? Dansup you are too kind for us. Love ya The Masto compatibility is so cool, really reminds you it's the Fediverse and not a walled garden 👏 Flickr, Instagram, 500px, Unsplash and BeReal are ok photo sharing platforms But, they are walled gardens, aren't open source and don't federate @pixelfed is in the perfect place, at the right time, to be able to disrupt this status quo We don't have investors, all we have is people, and together we can fix this The fediverse is a revolution, empowering the people, and reclaiming the digital landscape from the walled gardens No more settling, it's our time now ✨

@dansup if any of those services started federating, but remained closed source, would that change your opinion? I ask because I’m working on something that is closed source, but will begin beta testing federation next week 😊

@pixelfed Would it be technically possible to statically host pixelfed instance on github webpages? @pixelfed it’s interesting, I am looking forward to seeing the platform grow and evolve! My top requests are dark mode for the iOS app (I appreciate it’s still in TestFlight) and for some reason when I command-click on anything on the web it doesn’t open links in a new tab, which any other website does - very weird. @pixelfed Great, especially regarding HEIC - which is what iPhones shoot by default. There have been rumours of Apple shifting to JPEG XL, which looks very promising - maybe you should look into that as well?

[DATA EXPUNGED]
A new app build is rolling out today (v1.0.0.69) to TestFlight and Play Store Beta testers! @pixelfed I am unable to log into the updated app. When I click login it redirects me to the browser when I enter my account details then asks me to approve and loads the screen back to the app screen where it asks me to login again

I'm almost finished fixing Account Migrations in @pixelfed ✨ If you're worried you lost (pixelfed) followers during a migration, don't fret! Once I ship this, and pixelfed instances update, you simply need to redo the migration from your old account (it won't break anything, but is limited to once per 7 days in Mastodon) And you're Pixelfed followers will be migrated to your new account! We will be announcing updated rules on altered or AI-generated content originating from pixelfed.social and pixelfed.art later this evening. We want to be better fediverse neighbours, and will be limited some aspects of non original content, such as hashtags. More information to follow. |
