If you update to the latest @pixelfed app version, and the app still crashes when you open it, it means your server is running an outdated version and needs to be updated before you can use the app.

The minimum supported version is now v0.12.1

Spread the word! #pixelfed #pixelfedApp

@dansup @pixelfed but it shouldn't crash.
It should report what you just posted here :)
Congrats for the current achievement btw

@dansup @pixelfed Yeah, that has been reason for the things I complained about before. Didn't check my instances version for some time. And now after upgrading it - the App also works great in addition to looking awesome 😎👍

zeruch

@dansup @pixelfed this is also an example of why clear documentation/context need is to be canonically practiced in the Fediverse, so as to make sure onboarding/maintaining smooth user experiences as ongoing....

TestFlight and Play Store Beta users:

@pixelfed Will this version be available in your F-Droid repo?

@pixelfed
I'm unable to see and create stories - Android 1.0.0.65.. Bug or feature? 😅

Andrew Graves :arch: :linux:

@dansup @pixelfed

I'm really stoked for the new app! Is there a list of features that soon will be added to the new app version? E.g I'm currently missing the filters of the old version of the app 🤔

A new TestFlight build is out with a fix for the app crash affecting most users.

Album carousels are temporarily unavailable until the next build, instead you will only see the first image.

Spent all night tracking down a bug in the @pixelfed app that is causing crashes on startup

While it would be so nice to be able to use a 3rd party service like Sentry to more easily track bugs & crashes, I'm not willing to sacrifice user privacy in this regard

So I will start writing tests and setup a CI pipeline to help catch regressions, while keeping the app free of 3rd party APIs

@dansup @pixelfed Worth checking if it was posted from iOS Beta. Your app isn’t designed for the next version of iOS, so might be worth seeing if the crash info comes from iOS betas too

pixelfed

We're aware of the app crash issue in the latest TestFlight build, and we are working on a fix that will be published shortly!

pixelfed

Great news, a new @pixelfed TestFlight and Play Store build are being prepared!

@dansup @pixelfed good! I can't post since I've updated the app.

@dansup @pixelfed dark mode is gone so I can't use it anyway but also my photos are loading very slowly and log in is weird

Pixelfed Groups + Lemmy + Kbin + Smithereen

We're implementing federation support in Groups before we ship this huge feature!

@pixelfed Compability with Misskey groups would be great!

Mark Eisenberg

@pixelfed FYI I’ve heard on the grapevine that Kbin isn’t being maintained anymore. I’ve switched to Mbin myself some time back. Either way Groups sounds great! 🙂👍

Special thanks to @NGIZero for funding this game changing feature!

@dansup @NGIZero hi, when the app for android will be available in play store ?

pixelfed

I looked into Glaze support for @pixelfed, and sadly it's impossible to integrate due to the license and lack of SDK/api

Interesting to note that the first version of Glaze was broken by advances in AI so they are on the next version (which could break at any time) so it's not really a long term solution IMO

I wouldn't be surprised if Cara's huge AWS bill is due to Glaze

@dansup @pixelfed They made a post about the cost and traffic a few weeks ago. Might be Glaze, which is turned off now on Cara.
Honestly as someone who paints even attempts to prevent theft by AI counts. I know of a few artists, who moved from social media altogether. And honestly the internet is a sad place without it.

@dansup @pixelfed
AFAIK nightshade requieres 5GB or more of GPU per image process and it takes hours. Is Glaze faster? It would be incredible to have something like that in Pixelfed, but yeah, the AWS cost would be ridiculous 😰

@dansup @pixelfed BTW, the web version doesn't work properly on Firefox on my Debian system (it doesn't autoload past the first "page" of my posts on my profile).

🚨 PSA for Pixelfed for Android users:

F-Droid: fdroid.pixelfed.net/fdroid/rep

Please spread the word, and boost!

@pixelfed wow no. Theres no reason for that kind of extremely bad support for older versions. This worship of constant new versioning isn't a problem for users to fix, or be a party to fixing.

Hollerpixie

@pixelfed I may just be missing it- but is there a way to enable dark mode in the app for Android?

**knock on door**

me: hello, who is there

groups: hey, we have your order from 2021

damn, it's time

You can't ignore the strength of ActivityPub and the fediverse.

Pixelfed has nothing to gain and everything to lose if it shifts from its open, fediverse-focused direction to seek VC funding.

I've turned down several offers.

I'd rather be funded by y'all on a shoestring budget than sell out and have @pixelfed lose the very luster that made it shine.

It's your impact that makes our project shine. Forget profits; y'all are the true shareholders.

You had me worried for a second there - but only because I didn't know who you are. Glad to hear that someone with moral integrity and community spirit is behind Pixelfed.

We're not just an Instagram alternative!

Collections allow you to group posts together, like a recent trip, or a bunch of recipes (like Pinterest)

Portfolios highlight a curated list of your posts with a unique URL and customization (like DeviantArt)

Groups are a way to explore communities based on shared interests/topics (like Flickr)

We continue to develop features for artists, photographers and everyone in between! ✨

@pixelfed Why PHP though? Why not Ruby like mastodon or Golang/HTMX/SQlite/OpenBSD.

Cegorach

@pixelfed @zLabor well, but collections and portfolio is utterly broken

I never saw a use of groups? So maybe that.

Thing is: there's a difference between creating features and creating unable features

LiquidParasyte

@pixelfed the new app certain feels cleaner and more refined. Few kinks to work out still:

-

After scrolling through Home for a while the app starts stuttering, and starts juttering upwards shakily, as if it's trying to force me to stay out while it loads.


-

I don't see a way to boost/repost photos on mobile, nor a way to view bookmarks. (Or Collections for that matter)


-

It would be nice if we could put bookmarks we want organized into these new Collections (that sounds like what you're aiming for, but I'm not sure). Can't figure out how to add posts into Collections in general.


-

I can't seem to find a way to save any media from posts, at all. Can't expand to zoom in either. That's probably not intentional, right?


-

The option to disable RSS feeds seems to be broken (remains on no matter what I set it to)
