The @pixelfed app will autoplay videos, with the ability to enable this in the settings 🔥

@dansup would really prefer autoplay was off by default. I find autoplaying immensely annoying, and I always turn it off

@dansup @pixelfed Any news on when iOS version is submitted to either TestFlight or App Store ? Long time beta tester here, just trying to keep up with the latest :)

Krautnapped™

@dansup @pixelfed I'm fine with autoplay on by default, but automute should be a thing. Even the video demo nearly made me do a spit-take.

If I want to listen to something, I can click on a sound button to listen to it.

I love what you do and the idea of helping with discovery, but...

basing it on popularity rather than the users unique interests just recreates one of the big problems of traditional silo media, the two caste system.

First you have the "upper" caste accounts (aka "Mr Beast"s) who got popular early and then snowball as being popular means being more recommended means being more popular ad infinitum. Then the lower caste will never be recommended as they're not already popular.

I'm really proud of the new @pixelfed app Discover screen!

We operate a service called beagle that will help pixelfed servers of all sizes discover content.

This means, no matter what Pixelfed server you're signed into, you will have a full Discover page!

@dansup @pixelfed that's cool, that was my issue with peertube, which is you get completely different content depending on the server you use and you can only discover people from other servers by manual search

@dansup when can we expect the app to be available in stores officially? I have a couple of friends who love the idea of Pixelfed and would gladly use it already as an app 😎

@dansup @pixelfed Looking forward to trying this. Looks like it’s come along way since the last beta build

CubeOfCheese

@dansup @pixelfed it wasn't immediately obvious to me how you would add alt text. I'm guessing by tapping the settings icon below the picture?

Luca Degasperi

@dansup @pixelfed love the work you’re doing, just a heads up: shouldn’t the warning color be yellow instead of red? Red generally denotes an error but this is not the case.

pixelfed

I redesigned the New Post screen on the new @pixelfed app

This was the last todo item before its ready to ship, so expect a pre-release APK shortly ✨

@dansup @pixelfed looks good! :D did the update button change location in android? I want to get it updated, but can't find the button anymore 😅

bouncepaw 🍄

@dansup @pixelfed I really think you should use more contrast text color, that is black or dark gray, instead of light gray throughout the application 🙏 That'd look more clean AND be more accessible

Artists, creatives and photogs of the fediverse:

The upcoming @pixelfed app will be shipping with a surprise feature we think you'll love.

It will bring the community together in a unique and fun way 😉

#pixelfed

pixelfed

Pixelfed isn't just for photography; it's a great place for all kinds of artists.

Whether you're into painting, drawing, digital art, or graphic design, you can share your work here.

Pixelfed supports videos and GIFs too, so it's perfect for animators and multimedia creators.

The community is friendly and supportive, making it easy for artists to connect, collaborate, and grow together.

pixelfed

There are a few benefits when you chat/dm an account on the same server ✨

#pixelfed #chats #dms

pixelfed

We closed several outdated issues and pull requests recently, as we prepare to ship several big refactors and one big feature: Groups ✨

pixelfed

While you can disable comments on @pixelfed (and it federates), we are working on better comment controls. ✨

Soon you will be able to limit comments to mutuals, accounts you follow, and more!

@dansup @pixelfed What about the ability to keep people from boosting your posts? 🤔

pixelfed

It was nearly two years ago that I wrote this article[1] about the EU #ChatControl surveillance directive on behalf of the @cryptpad team.

Very little has changed since then. Experts in technology, law, and policy all agree that the proposal undermines basic European rights, that it will be abused by authoritarian member states, and that the proposed tech solutions cannot possibly do the job the supporting legislators have claimed.

Nevertheless, they have persisted, claiming the support of "expert testimony" that overwhelmingly consists of unsupported claims by lobbyists associated with law enforcement and defense contractors who stand to benefit financially from its implementation.

A vote is expected to take place on June 19th. These have been scheduled and delayed multiple times already, but this it feels like they might get away with it. There is a lot going on in the EU at the moment, and people are both distracted and tired from fighting this for so long.

I'll try to make resistance easier by collecting some suggested actions below, with links.

@ansuz @cryptpad I agree with the fact that encryption is a fundamental part of democracy.

But the problem is that I have not seen proposals on how to handle a situation where encryption is used by actors who want to undermine democracy, hiding their actions via encryption.

E.g. A foreign state actor using telegram in a combined randsomware-against-hosptitals and disinformation campaign, this to cause social unrest and inlluence people to vote tor more-extremist parties.

ansuz / ऐरन

good morning, #EU residents. have you written to your elected representatives about #ChatControl yet?

EDIT: comments should be addressed to the offices of "permanent representatives" listed on this page: op.europa.eu/en/web/who-is-who

I don't know for sure that these offices are elected. start with these contact points, after that you can still feel free to contact your MEPs, but start here

@ansuz @cryptpad It should be noted that Finland seems to be on the fence after these cosmetic changes. "Won't anyone think of the Children?"

HerrHerrmann

@dansup @pixelfed Did you ever get feedback about the font sizes? Whenever I see your Pixelfed screenshots, I really like the overall aesthetic, but also notice that all the texts seem way too small to me. It’s a bit hard to tell without actually using the app myself though. ✌️

pixelfed

I'm learning swift to implement on-device translations, hashtag and alt-text suggestions!

don't worry, kotlin is next 😎

When it comes to adding features like these, I draw the line at on device processing when possible.

Privacy is fundamental, and I'm only willing to implement features like this if they can be implemented using native apis, we will never use ChatGPT or 3rd party APIs period.

@dansup Swift is one of my favorite languages but I don't like apple anymore xD

tizmic

@dansup Honestly, I thought you know Swift already. From your posts it seemed you primarily test and develop on operating systems of Apple and then extend the apps to Android. What technologies did you use? React Native?

pixelfed

I'm back!

I took a lil break from Mastodon today to focus on the app 😅

I'm going to wrap up Groups and the new @pixelfed app this week, and then I can jump back to @loops and @supapp

Y'all are going to love the new app, it just keeps getting better and better ✨

Looking forward to Groups. When can we test it out?

DELETED

@dansup do you plan do monetize pixelfed?

pixelfed

Next week is hackathon week at @pixelfed HQ where we compete for the best project

I'm planning on experimenting with a more efficient transport protocol for federation between Pixelfed servers, and will be documenting my progress during the week!

pixelfed

Call me crazy, but I believe @pixelfed will have its Mastodon moment this summer once the app hits the app stores ✨

@dansup @pixelfed while I won't be using it myself, I wish Pixelfed the best of luck

Lyssa Chiavari

@dansup Really looking forward to it. I haven't used it consistently because I wasn't satisfied with the third-party apps and TestFlight was buggy for me. I definitely want to be shifting away from Instagram, though

Darnell Clayton :verified:

@dansup @pixelfed I believe Apple will promote Pixelfed on the App Store, similar to how they promoted Mastodon.
