⚡ Introducing Channels, a new way to engage your audience, inspired by Telegram We've never launched a new feature on iOS first, and are looking forward to bringing this to Android and web clients Channels will be rolling out to TestFlight users over the next few days, admins should keep an eye on the server repo 👀 @pixelfed I guess you're pulling off Instagrammy behavior now by having an iOS-first feature. Why is it iOS-first? ✨ Solo by Pixelfed We've been secretly building a single user federated photo sharing server (based on Pixelfed), with minimal setup, and built-in import Solo is simple, download the code, drag your photos to the media directory and open your browser So simple, yet super smart, Solo won't get in your way, but it will impress Launching Dec 2023

✨ We have an R&D Labs division where @dansup experiments with new ideas and proof of concepts Most experiments never see the light of day, but some do We're going to be more open and transparent regarding these experiments as we're testing some on production servers It's never a boring day at PixelfedHQ 😎

@pixelfed re-join how? Don't I need a link? I've left the old build, now what? The directions say I need a link to redeem. @pixelfed Oh no! I use iOS 15.7.8 and now it says the app is not compatible with my OS. Pixelfed Autospam has eliminated over 18K spam posts on pixelfed.social with an accuracy of 95% The next step is to move beyond local and public only posts to non-public posts, remote posts and metadata like image alt text We are sampling 5% of remote and non-public posts on pixelfed.social and logging detections (without taking action) for the next two weeks, the results will be made public later. @pixelfed ✨ Opt-in `indexable` search support has landed in Pixelfed! This means we'll be compatible with Mastodon's new #fullTextSearch feature, and it is opt-in so you have to navigate to Settings -> Privacy and then enable "Include public posts in search results"! https://github.com/pixelfed/pixelfed/pull/4612 We do not support full text search yet, but it's on the list ⚡

@pixelfed does this mean searching for text that isn't hashtagged? That would be very useful. We will be adding an opt-in `indexable` setting for compatibility with @Mastodon! https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/pull/26485 #fullTextSearch Dreamers, Creators, Builders, Pioneers, Influencers, Hackers Labels like these are often attributed to the developers of successful platforms Meanwhile, on the fediverse, it's really the people, the non-developers, who really push the envelope and the fediverse forward in many ways Cheers to you, the people, the ones who are really building the #fediverse and holding us developers accountable, as you should. ❤️ @pixelfed We are Humans. Humans are all those things and more. Let's embrace our creative and progressive values. ⚡ YSK: You can enable photo only reblogs! Go to Settings -> Timeline and enable "Photo reblogs only" Pixelfed Groups demo of a user joining a group and an admin limiting their permissions while keeping their membership. @pixelfed still waiting with hope the feature to import instagram backups. Thanks for what you’ll do. Pixelfed Groups will be compatible with Kbin, Lemmy and Mastodon (when they release support) The beta will be released later this week, keep an eye on this pull request 😉 https://github.com/pixelfed/pixelfed/pull/4603 #pixelfed #groups

Show previous comments
@pixelfed The import from instagram feature does not seem to be fully baked yet 😥 It does seem like it starts to import, but during review only very few of my posts actually show the image and "select first 100" + import only seem to import the ones actually showing the image (in my case 1-3 images out of the 100. I checkted the zip from instagram and the images are there. They also seem to be in the browser memory as blobs, but just not shown. @pixelfed Sorry, but still not working fully correct😞 What are the "first 100 images"? No sort by timestamp! No way to delete older imports! No change to make images visible worldwide! Please improve import to Instagram!!! Thanks a lot! ⚡ ActivityPub development made easy Our PubKit service now has an official website, and will be launching early next month!

Pixelfed Admins, did you know our official app has a lightweight admin dashboard? You can: - Handle Autospam + Mod reports Managing your instance on-the-go is easy with #pixelfed ✨ @pixelfed I would really like to use the app but I can't login to my instance - it just displays "Please wait" forever after entering my URL. |
@pixelfed for me, the app instantly crashes as soon as I try to post a video as a story
@pixelfed I’m confused, there’s an iOS app that isn’t 3rd party?
