It's your content, shouldn't you have more control?

We're adding even more privacy settings to allow you to have more fine-grained control over your content.

We're just getting started, our pioneering comment control support will be improved to better enforce federation support, and more!

@pixelfed On the Instagram side of the internet we soon get unskippable ads and on the cool side we get total control over our data. Really hard to tell which service I like more... #not

@pixelfed Is there any update on when users will be able to move content between pixelfed servers? I moved server after a year of experimenting and it would be good to be able to pool all my photos onto one location.

@pixelfed Do you have "haptics"? If so, can it be disabled? Or is it (yet better IMO) disabled by default?

Manuel :verified: :linux:

@pixelfed perchΓ© l'app per android Γ¨ "sparita" da ogni dove ed Γ¨ rimasta solo nel betats google, inutile professare liberta dalle grandi tech e poi constringere l'utente ad iscriversi a google per partecipare al programma beta...

So I spent longer than expected working on the privacy settings in the new @pixelfed app

I don't regret it, we have some pretty awesome privacy features!

Looking forward to shipping the new mobile app, and working with artists, creatives and photogs to make our platform better for everyone.

It's not who did it first, it's who did it right ✨

@dansup @pixelfed what are you writing apps in? I was hoping to use Flutter but I see a lot of people bashing it lately and rumor is Google will stop maintaining it soon

@dansup @pixelfed I just registered in the Android store. Really looking forward to this! How long do reviews usually take?

We're adding a new setting to allow you to disable post and profile embeds!

In case you weren't aware, Pixelfed does support Profile and Post embeds, allowing you to easily embed them on your own website ✨

Simply add /embed to the end of a profile or post url, like the examples below:

Profile: pixelfed.social/dansup/embed

Post: pixelfed.social/p/drake/692644068582758165/embed

I can't prevent pixelfed forks, but I will do my best to accommodate feedback and feature requests, and encourage people to take on a more dedicated role within our project!

We are stronger and better together!

We really need a project manager type person to help me prioritize, so I can do what I do best and leave the community management to someone more skilled in that.

@dansup would honestly love to do that. no budget, I guess?

Gen X-Wing

@dansup For big crazy ideas a fork can be better. It can be a friendly one for sure. And if it pans out I think a merge is good idea.

I think there’s been too many forks in anger, and we’d be better off with less of those imho.

Also stale PRs make me sad. Love to see them either merged or rejected (I mean some aren’t good for various reasons).

Good luck!

pixelfed

Edit: We're back!

We're experiencing some issues with pixelfed.social, so we are doing some maintenance to improve stability.

We should be back to 100% within the hour!

@pixelfed
Thank you. I wondered what was going on.

:neuro: Pixy's Journey :v_bi:

@pixelfed
Thank you!!! I missed it πŸ˜‰ wondered what was up, or in this case down... 😊
Thanks for the hard work! :pixelfed:

The new @pixelfed app compose experience is much improved!

You can even opt to disable optimizations to preserve your original photo!

Available soon! #pixelfed

@dansup @pixelfed nice work. It would be nice to have alt text as an immediately surfaced input to encourage folk to fill it in, especially as the caption is optional.

levent sΓΆnmez

@pixelfed @dansup i tried a few times to contact, some problems i had, simple but important bugs… is there any issue list you have or how/where can i talk about them?

pixelfed

We're aware of Meta/Instagrams new policies around AI and the desire for artists, photogs and other creatives to migrate to another platform!

Our new mobile app is officially submitted for App Review, and we look forward to it finally being on the App Store ✨

@pixelfed I left Instagram years ago when they got bought by Facebook. It’s great that there’s an alternative now, but I’m unsure of if I’d ever be able to get people off of insta and onto a new platform. But from what I’m hearing about Instagram’s new ads, I might have some help

Dr. Unabart :vepi: :jrbd:

@pixelfed Happy for this. Any plans for the IG migration tool to work? I could never get it to work. I’d do it now if it did. Thanks! πŸ‘πŸΌ

You may have noticed that @trwnh has done some spring cleaning to our issue tracker and closed hundreds of issues!

We're re-organizing our issues to eliminate duplicates, and close issues that have been resolved.

That being said, we may have closed your issue prematurely!

We recommend you comment on any issues that you feel were improperly closed that mentions @dansup to help bring it to our attention, and we will re-open the issue accordingly!

We are processing a huge backlog of applicants to pixelfed.social, we apologize for the delay.

Once we get through them, we're re-opening registration as we can't keep up with curated onboarding πŸ˜…

@pixelfed I thought @loops invites was the priority this weekend ? Good Luck with the new PixelFed sign ups

@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! πŸ™‚πŸ‘

We just added comment notifications to Loops!

Still waiting to get in to the Loops beta?
We'll be sending a few hundred invites out this weekend, keep an eye out for our emails!

@dansup I'm really looking forward to this. I'm searching for an alternative since ages, but everything lacks function & design or costs a newborn a month.

Chris Wood

@dansup I think there will be a lot of use cases for this. Amazing work so far as always πŸ™Œ

I'm making @pixelfed Autospam more intelligent ✨

I'm doing this in a local, self-host, and privacy friendly way, I'm not willing to integrate AI into Pixelfed or depend on 3rd party APIs.

We can train data locally on a specific type of pattern for Autospam Suggestions which would group reports for easy mass action handling and much more

The more you use it, the more efficient it becomes, like the core Autospam feature, and you don't need to rely on ChatGPT or any 3rd party service for this.

dansup

@pixelfed I wrote a drag-n-drop rule generator to enable rich and complex Autospam rule limits in an easy to use and understand way

Autospam 3.0 is going to be quite the evolutionary leap ✨

Vincent||tnecniV

@dansup @pixelfed "not willing to integrate AI" is the most refreshing announcement I've heard in the tech world in a while 😌

@dansup @pixelfed so excited for this!!! When is it being released on github?

@dansup @pixelfed fuera genial que no sea tan parecido a ig, y que usen material you, es un gtan trabajo lo que estan haciendo

@dansup @pixelfed yet, here I am, stuck with Pixeldroid, because I can't download your app from aurora store. Is there any other way to pay for it that doesn't include Google?

Pixelfed Groups will allow admins to have fine-grained ACL permissions, you will be able to limit specific user permissions!

In addition, admins will have the ability to review all moderation actions from other mods/admins and all actions from the account.

Later we plan to ship support for webhooks, allowing admins to deeply integrate Groups into their platforms or services!

@dansup nice! Would replace "create posts" and "create comments" with "post" and "comment", respectively.

One thing I want to point out about pubkit.net is that I know a service like this could be easily abused!

This is why you will have to verify ownership of servers you want to test against

It can be a text file or DNS record, and in special cases, I can make exceptions for devs who want to test against instances they can't publicly verify

The point is, PubKit will be opt-in, and won't require a fediblock, services like these can be done right 😎
