Pixelfed Groups will support Lemmy and other projects ✨

Groups may ship without support for every platform, however our goal is to support every fediverse Groups implementation!

Thanks to @NGIZero for funding our Groups feature ❤️

Oh wow! This is a fantastic idea! Integration for different formats of content in the fediverse is crucial for any new implementation!

Pixelfed Groups are coming along, and I'm hoping to ship v1 this weekend!

We're targeting Lemmy support and the Groups FEP for now, I cant wait to ship this 😎

@dansup
Is this similar to what I see on Mastodon with groups being something you can @ mention to notify all of the group? Is that what FEP is?
I've never used Lemmy so I don't know how their groups work.

dansup

I did a bunch of refactoring to separate Groups comments, hashtags, likes, media, statuses and other models from the main app for performance reasons, so it will be another day or two before it’s ready!

The new Pixelfed app compose screen, it's simple and works well!

Share Intents are supported as well, so you can share photos and videos from your Photos app directly to the Pixelfed app

@pixelfed I think it may be time to give Pixelfed another SERIOUS look, and dumping another popular social networking platform. That we really kinda don't even use.

Hmmmmm

@arstechnica

Sounds great. Is there a plan for dealing with the bandwidth requirements and cost for any mildly popular Livestream?

@pixelfed
I highly wish that u could somehow make it more p2p based since that'll reduce the server/performance costs.
More participants = More stable connection
I think peertube also implemented something like that.

pixelfed

Loops and Sup will have seamless support with each other, and with the Pixelfed app.

You can use any one individually, but they will work better together ✨

(We got y'all non-pixelfam covered too, login with your mastodon account into Sup and have the ability to view/share Stories)

It's not magic, it's @pixelfed

DELETED

@dansup @pixelfed looking forward to trying Loops when the beta drops

pixelfed

Pixelfed Live is so fun to use, and I'm working on making it even easier to use end-to-end.

It's one thing to support Live Streaming, but it's a whole other thing to have that baked into an ephemeral feature that is accessible and more popular with the general public than a dedicated video platform or live streaming platform.

I look forward to bringing proper live streaming to the fediverse, via @pixelfed, @loops and @supapp 🚀

I'm so happy I added mass actions to the Curated Onboarding feature

You may be wondering why pixelfed.social closes registration so often, and the reason is we get ALOT of spam registrations

Our Autospam system prevents them from becoming a problem, but this eliminates potential spammers before they even get a chance

Take a look for yourself, and remember most growth on the fediverse is spam.

The dead internet theory is alive, and active if you pay attention.

Most fedi devs don't 😉

The challenge with a federated DeviantArt platform will be payments, if they can offload that to a 3rd party by allowing users to add links to the store, it could work IMO

Otherwise, each instance would have to host their own Stripe payments account, and other complexities

Not to mention, giving Apple/Google Play 30% of the cut

In @pixelfed, we're handling this by allowing users to add links to specific items that redirect to 3rd party platforms

We can do this, watch me 😎

@dansup @pixelfed I'm sad cryptocurrencies didn't work out, this is the sort of thing I was hoping they'd fix...

Grant_H

@dansup @pixelfed federating with dA would be *awesome*.

pixelfed

Wouldn't it be nice if you could press a button to test federation/mobile app support and diagnose any issues with instructions on how to solve the underlying issue(s)?

We think so.

Easier installation = Happier admins

@pixelfed It would be nice to have the pixelfed app in the appstore. 🤷‍♂️

We just enabled GitHub Discussions for our mobile app repo, and added a new onboarding screen that will appear once you login to our beta app for the first time!

We can't wait for you to see how better and faster our new app is ⚡️

#pixelfed #pixelfedApp

The text reads:

I'm experimenting with new profile layouts in the new Pixelfed app.

Which one do you prefer?

(current, alt 1, alt 2)

Alt 1 design

@dansup alt 2!

I really like how Alt 2 minimizes the following/followers stats

fraencko

@dansup current, but no. of posts should be a couple of pixels more to the top and with increased line-height of bio.

As someone who is a bit farsighted I always increase font size on OS level, please also consider enough room around for elements to "grow". 🙂

pixelfed

How can we further improve Accessibility on the new Pixelfed app?

Feedback and ideas greatly appreciated!

@dansup One thing that I think could help with the alt text is something that says "here's all your images without alt text, in order of engagement: you can enter alt text for them below."

@dansup Dark Mode has been a major issue for me in the iOS beta due to contract issues.

The cursor and text selection are impossible to see, and the keyboard and context menus don’t respect the system-wide dark mode.

Screenshot of Pixelfed iOS beta app in dark mode with no comments displayed. A comment is being composed with text "This is an example of dark mode." A keyboard and text editing options are visible at the bottom.

@dansup support LLaVA or similar model for alt-text generation describing images.

The @IceCubesApp for Mastodon does this very well (see example image and auto generated alt text below) and may be worth a look. Also this article from @joe was useful for me in understanding where to start with this.

Looking into a DeviantArt importer to Pixelfed, what perfect timing with Groups, Marketplace and upcoming Collection features ✨

@dansup Will the imported images automatically be set to unlisted with no way to change it like it does for the Instagram import?

David W. Jones

@dansup
Hmmm. Possible to have both a Mastodon and Pixelfed account? I have a small, old Deviant Art site.
@pixelfed

Chris Wood

@dansup Hot damn. I would definitely use this. Was thinking of making an art website to rehouse my old dA posts, but this would be so convenient.

When I exported my deviantArt images, I found that there are different URL patterns for the original, full-size images depending on when they were uploaded.
E.g. gist.github.com/micycle1/73500

If you have a look around online it's well-documented, and there are tools to scrape the original high-res images too.

Artists and DeviantArt users, what features would you like to see in Pixelfed?

@pixelfed what I loved about the old DeviantArt is that there was an actual menu and categories, rather than just search. DeviantArt is virtually unusable now since they removed the very comprehensive side menu. Especially for reference photos.

Linebyline

@pixelfed Two features I miss are gallery folders and favorites lists.

It's handy to be able to sort artworks into categories that don't quite work as searchable tags. (Especially since a lot of pixelfed.art users seem to tag for search/visibility rather than semantics.)

I loved being able to browse an artist's faves and see what art/artists excited them.

I think the new Collections feature is one of these but I haven't followed closely enough to know.

Linebyline

@pixelfed One thing I *wished* dA had was an easy way to view galleries chronologically. I will argue for pagination until the cows come home, but it only does so much good if you bookmark a page and what's on that page changes because the artist uploaded a bunch.
