โจ ICYMI: Pixelfed v0.11.12 was released a few days ago. We highly recommend updating ASAP Curated Onboarding does ask for your birthdate during the registration process However, it's important to note that we don't store your birthdate (or transmit it in any way) Rather we only use it to determine if you are old enough to register based on the region you're in. The beautiful thing is that you can audit this yourself, all the code is public ๐ ๐จ Artists Wanted! Artists can now apply to join https://pixelfed.art, the art focused pixelfed server! Introducing Curated Onboarding: A Personal Touch to Community Building https://pixelfed.blog/p/2024/feature/introducing-curated-onboarding @pixelfed Gotta check if I can post and view text-only messages on Pixelfed, it sure sounds tempting to migrate
โจ New Version Release (0.11.12) We advise admins to update ASAP! This release includes some important security updates, as well as a new software update banner that is shown to admins! @pixelfed Excuse my stupidity, but where can I find the upgrade instructions? @pixelfed@mastodon.social a case sensitive search is easy to bypass. Case insensitive might have been better? Just and thought
[DATA EXPUNGED]
We โค๏ธ @bonfire If you haven't had a chance to check it out, here is a great article by @deadsuperhero Edit: Shipped! https://mastodon.social/@dansup/111941376194483896 Inspired by @Mastodon, admins will soon see a warning message when a new release is available! We're preparing a big and important release today, admins should be prepared to update ASAP! โจ Groups + :pixelfed: We will be resuming Groups development after shipping the new app build! 90% of the code for Groups is done, the last 10% is federation. Groups will ship as an opt-in experiment with limited federation, while we work out the kinks.

@pixelfed I thought this was just a Facebook screenshot, good work on the UI! @pixelfed Please look into the font problem on iPhones. The app is barely usable when bigger fonts are enabled ... We're aware of an issue affecting some accounts with "random" posts appearing from accounts they do not follow. This is related to our hashtag following feature, some hashtags you previously followed may have not been properly removed. A fix will be rolling out later today! Have you regretted deleting your https://pixelfed.social account, only later to desire to restore your account/username? We ask because we're preparing permanent account deletion federation activities, and have a unique opportunity to restore deleted usernames before we start processing/federating deleted accounts. Comment if you're interested!

@pixelfed how do you username squatting. There are many fediverse users who set up accounts on multiple servers just to assert ownership of an identity without ever using it. I believe this is a related but bigger problem that needs to be addressed. @pixelfed I deleted my blueberrie231@pixelfed.social account and I'd love it back! It's my username for everything and I hate the one I've got now โจ Ever find yourself struggling to remember the email linked to your Pixelfed account? Worry no more. โจ Our intuitive reminder service swiftly sends a notification to your registered email, ensuring you always know the right credentials to log in. Now Available! (Admins: You can disable this, and set rate limits so you don't go over your email quota) โจ Curated Onboarding The ideal solution for communities seeking a balance between open registration and invite-only membership. Soon admins can opt for this feature when you desire thoughtful user inclusion, handpicked by your dedicated admins for your community that truly reflects shared values and vision. Available later this week! ๐ In addition, admins may want to request additional information from the prospective user, and will be able to easily do so via the Admin Dashboard! Simply provide the context or add'l detail text in a form and submit and it will send an email to that potential user with a special link they can visit to provide more info, and can go back and forth until the admins are satisfied! Better Moderation/Safety Tools = Happier Communities Your feedback is greatly appreciated! Boosts too โค๏ธ @pixelfed @Mastodon Btw, I'm adding the ability for admins to request additional information (which dispatches an email to the pre-user) and includes a link back to a special page where they can respond with additional information. Admin/mods can also comment and conversate in the admin dashboard on each application One last thing, users will be able to share personalized links that show to user who invited them, and when accepted, will auto-follow that specific account! ๐ Let's make Pixelfed sparkle and soar together.
