What separates a good app from a great one is attention to detail, performance and simplicity

I think we got it right this time, and I can't wait to make history by shipping the official @pixelfed mobile app 🚀

@dansup @pixelfed Looks nice! and waiting for it!

But wondering : do all those small grey texts really pass a11y color / contrast tests ? (WCAG2 / APCA)

#a11y #accessibility

Ayyur

@dansup @pixelfed Not you edging us with #pixelfed 's release 😮‍💨 /j
I'm totally excited though, can't wait!
Thank you for the amazing work ❤️

olli :heart_cyber:

@dansup IMO the font size is slighly too small or there‘s too much space between the menu items. Nice work 👍

I'm in the process of a full security audit for @pixelfed by radicallyopensecurity.com

Huge thanks to @NGIZero for funding this initiative and helping keep our project more safe and secure ✨

Preparing the new Pixelfed app for pre-release testing!

Android friends, an APK will be shared soon ✨

You may have noticed pixelfed.social is slower than usual, after some investigation, I have discovered that Lemmy is behind the sudden surge in traffic.

While we are implementing Groups, we expected additional load from Lemmy and other Group supported projects

However, I never anticipated how much activity we'd get from Lemmy

To put this in perspective, lemmy.world has sent more activities to us than mastodon.social (to pixelfed.social)

I'm overhauling the inbox again to better handle this!

@dansup could it be that Lemmy just has a very inefficient federation model that could be improved? (i.e., only publishing content to remote server's inboxes when there's relationships on that server?)

I didn’t know Lemmy was still a thing 😅

The internet keeps me amazed 🤯

Just shipped (long awaited) support for album embeds!

You can now embed album/carousel posts, and profile embeds now include album/carousel posts 😎

Special thanks to @andypiper for reminding me to fix this.

@dansup Can't wait for the app! Will the launch be simultaneously happen in the Play- and F-Droid-Store? :BlobhajBlanketSlate:

pixelfed

I really appreciate all the kind words of support, sometimes it feels like I only see negative feedback and while I usually take that in good stride and strive to resolve the underlying issues...

I am only human, and sometimes that negative feedback stings more than usual

Rather than letting it get to my head, publicly acknowledging this, and my struggles, are my therapy

Your encouragement means the world to me and keeps me motivated!

Thank you for believing in me and the @pixelfed app

❤️

@dansup @pixelfed

To me, Pixelfed is the best part of the fediverse

I love it

@dansup @pixelfed I really don’t know how you do it. But appreciate it all your hard work and dedication to the PixelFed project and community.

pixelfed

I had a pretty rough day and contemplated just giving up on @pixelfed because it seems like I can’t catch a break

But after calming down, I started to remember all the big milestones and the people who believe in our platform and in me

I’m not ready to give up, in fact this was the kick in the ass I needed to get my priorities straight and focus on shipping the app ASAP and also Groups

I’m a few months behind on my NLnet Groups milestone and need the money so that’s my focus after the app

❤️

@dansup @pixelfed keep going Dan! What you’re creating is something very important.

pixelfed

I've been working hard on the @pixelfed mobile app and will be sharing a pre-release APK before I head to bed!

I can't emphasize how better it is, and it will only improve over the summer 😎

We're going to submit the app to the App Store/Play Store this weekend, and I'm so excited ✨

@dansup @pixelfed Does/will the Pixelfed app support Mastodon accounts? Or does it only work for the Pixelfed API?

Darnell Clayton :verified:

@dansup @pixelfed I look forward to the Pixelfed app being live on the App Store! It is a beautiful, highly functional app!

pixelfed

We're setting up Push Notifications for our mobile app, you may notice requests to push.pixelfed.net, this is why!

We may add support for other apps in the future, but for now they will be limited to the official app.

@pixelfed Any word on when the official Pixelfed App will be released to the App Store‽

Skivling

@pixelfed Are they going to be hosted by each server themselves?

pixelfed

An open source/self hosted and federated Tik-Tok alternative, made by @pixelfed has just successfully tested federation!

loops.video

If you applied to join, expect an invite within the next week! ✨

(We will be open sourcing the mobile app and backend later this summer)

@dansup @pixelfed oh, heck yes! If we’re just finding out now, is there still a way to get into beta testing?

DanieruOtakuBoy

@dansup @pixelfed I literally had to come here to check your post about Loops, I really want to try this haha. :catDisco:

pixelfed

Experimenting with a "Made with AI" badge for servers that allow AI generated content if properly labelled.

We're also working on a setting to hide Made with AI posts on feeds, so you can better curate your experience!

@dansup does this also apply to images crafted by hand but using AI in their design / creative process? What if an artist creates parts on an image with AI but refines the rest by hand? I guess the latter feels more like deserving this flag as the former does. Then again you might want to also track works where AI played any part at all

blaue_Fledermaus

@dansup
The only problem is that those things that are being called AI are not AI.

Anyway, nice idea.

(I think that "High Coherence Media Generator" is a better name)

@dansup The contrast is too low, it shouldn’t be so easy to miss.

@pixelfed Selected 1\100

But I can choose from 37 not 100. And I need to select from all photos.

I didn't know that was now editable. Thanks!

@pixelfed where would be a good place to send feedback about this feature specifically.

pixelfed

Will be finishing up our API docs this week and launching the new pixelfed.io!

@pixelfed has quite an amazing API, you should check it out sometime:

beta-preview.pixelfed.io

Richard Degenne

@dansup @pixelfed Neat! I will *definitely* find the time to make a #Ruby client for it! 🙃

:mastodon: Ric Harvey 🇪🇺🌍💚

@dansup @pixelfed I’m looking forward to this I have an integration to build 🥳

@dansup I hope they continue to improve the application (I know it's only a beta) because it is still very slow

@dansup This finally may be my incentive to ditch #instagram. Every day I am getting closer. No #ads and no #algorithm and an overall healthier #experience.

@dansup
You gonna be running that ad on Insta?
