To address extreme levels of amazing posts and interactions, we've applied the following temporary limits:

- New accounts must follow @dansup
- Older accounts must also follow @dansup
- Everyone must follow @dansup

Oh that's right, we're decentralized and can't control your instances.

Happy Canada Day πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦

⚑ Transparency is important

When you browse feeds on our app, you can tap the 3 dot menu and tap the "Why you're seeing this post" to learn more about the context.

We call these System Cards, and they help explain why you're seeing a particular post.

This will become more important soon as we release custom algorithmic feeds, don't worry though, chronological feeds will remain the default πŸ˜‰ #pixelfed #discovery #systemCards

@pixelfed ok... playing Devil's advocate here...

How is it going to differentiate Pixelfed from InstaMeta once you've added "algorithms" ?

Because ultimately, any algorithm that chooses for the end user what he's going to see will be abused to the point where your product will become the same cesspool as Meta and that Critter. And that's not a good thing (unless the Devil ordered it).

Also "...your activity on Pixelfed and accounts you follow" - that's a recipe for an echo-chamber. Bad. Bad.

@pixelfed is that an official account? The European one I mean haha

@pixelfed@mastodon.social Perhaps migrate that to using a tag that isn’t tied to a year, one that reflects the purpose too?

Robert A.Mason

@pixelfed - It would be good if you gave the option to manually refresh the data for an account.

Blortβ„’ πŸ€β“‹πŸ₯‹β˜£οΈ

@pixelfed Just out of curiosity... why Fedi22 specifically? Seems either year based, which is already dated, or just kind of... arbitrary. πŸ€”

We just shipped an update to fedidb.org that better handles Lemmy instances with significant spam signups!

Accurate network statistics are what sets #fediDB apart from other network statistic services.

@pixelfed@mastodon.social @FediDB@fedi.software I can confirm this works. I had 72k bots in my instance veenk.help and I didnΒ΄t notice until today and this morning it displays 2, the real number. Great job and sorry.

✨ Introducing Lockdown Mode

A new opt-in safety feature that will be rolling out later today!

Lockdown mode + Hybrid mode
pixelfed

✨ Authorized Fetch + Pixelfed

Enforce domain blocks at the federation level with Authorized Fetch, a feature borrowed from our @Mastodon friends.

⚑ Allowlist Mode - Only federate with instances you allow

⚑ Denylist Mode - Federate with all, except instances you banned

⚑ Hybrid Mode - Queue activities from unapproved instances, and accept/reject each instance (w/ triggers and custom rules to partially automate this)

Platform safety is crucial to us, and we look forward to shipping this πŸš€

@pixelfed Going to ship the beta of this tonight 😁

Blake Leonard

@pixelfed @Mastodon I really like the hybrid mode. That's some good thinking, and (especially if it can be triggered without a restart) could really help with federation attacks.

Vyr Cossont πŸ³οΈβ€πŸŒˆπŸ³οΈβ€βš§οΈ

@pixelfed nice! Mastodon admins have been asking for "hybrid mode" aka "greylist federation" for literally years now, so maybe Mastodon can borrow that back

⚑ Post Comment Permissions

Pixelfed pioneered the ability to disable comments per post, and delete remote comments.

We can do better, and we are!

Soon you will be able to limit post comments to various segments like:

- Only accounts I follow
- Only mutual follows
- Only local accounts
- Only X accounts

and more!

One more thing, we're publishing a standard for this so other implementations can support this too! #pixelfed #postCommentPermissions

@pixelfed can we have "per-instance" comments?

if you're on instance X, you only see comments from instance X, and so on.

The ability to disable comments on each post and delete comments remotely are useful features that help Pixelfed users control the content they share and interact with others. aarouteplanner.io

✨ Import from Instagram issues have been fixed in the latest commits!

If you have an import that has been stuck on "Processing", it will be properly processed once your instance admin updates to the latest commits!

Pixelfed.social has now processed all imports, you may have to wait until your admin updates for your import to finish processing.

@pixelfed I've imported the export of my "bookstagram" account to a pixelfed.social account. It looks beautiful! But I've noticed that all of my imported posts are set to "unlisted", and there doesn't seem to be a way to change the privacy/audience settings on the posts. Is this how imports are intended to be? Doesn't that mean they won't show up in searches?

Thank you! I'd love to get more "bookstagram" folks joining the fediverse.

πŸ”₯Argelaga On FireπŸ”₯

@pixelfed Pixelfed is not importing from my instagram account posts from 2023 and 2024. I just read it is due to a change in insta picture format (from jpg to webp). Is this the reason why I can't import anything newer than 2022? Thanks for your help!

@pixelfed I think the naming or directory structure had been changed? Even I rename my copy, that download from Google Drive, as specified <username>_yyyymmdd.zip but still not been accepted by import feature. Please help.

⚑ Heard of @gotosocial ?

GoToSocial provides a lightweight, customizable, and safety-focused entryway into the #fediverse, you can keep in touch with your friends, post, read, and share images and articles.

Consider #GoToSocial instead of Pixelfed if you'd like a safety-focused alternative with text-only post support that is maintained by a stellar developer community!

We ❀️ GtS, check them out!

✨ We just shipped a fix for Authorized Fetch/Secure mode compatibility!

This means your Pixelfed instances can interact with Mastodon instances that have this enabled, along with proper compatibility with @gotosocial

@pixelfed yay! following works, still don't see old posts from the mastodon side tho :(

Still having issues with Import from Instagram?

We're going to ship an update later tonight that should resolve the issues, and fix missing media (without extensions), add Select All button to make mass import easier, and improve backend performance.

@pixelfed - we can bulk import from IG?!? Holy shit that’s awesome. Is that desktop only functionality or via an iOS app? I use #vernissageapp on my #iPhone

James (PixelRefresh.com)

@pixelfed did this get released not seeing an import all button?

Baron Von J

@pixelfed I was just trying the import yesterday and noticed a few of my most recent posts were not displayed for selection to import. Looking in the exported zip's media folder, they are webp format. is that going to be supported?

✨ 1000 users max

Did you know we limit the maximum number of users by default?

We think 1000 users is a healthy instance size, but understand if that doesn't work for you, so you can set your own limit.

Everyone wins with ethical defaults and endless customization. You can also set max caption length, # of photos per albums and much more.

Ethical defaults + Endless customization = :pixelfed:

@pixelfed I realized the number of photos per album is an important difference between instances, but it doesn't seem to be mentioned anywhere before joining, neither in the instance list, nor at an instance's homepage. Isn't that something worth considering?

Luca Sironi
@pixelfed if that's to declare a healthy default, we have to split the top 15 instances...
phi1997

@pixelfed
Time to host an instance with a maximum of 0 users. Finally, social media where you will never miss a post!

pixelfed

We're working on a few new safety/moderation features!

- User domain blocks

- Trusted reports, a feature that allows users to designate specific moderation abilities to trusted friends on their comments

- Shared ModLists, a feature that allows you to create + curate block/mute lists of accounts, and share them with specific friends. If the list creator grants edit permissions, any friend can add a block/muted account and all friends will block/mute that account

And more, coming soon!

Experience issues with the new Import from Instagram feature?

We will be shipping an update today that fixes a few issues and makes the process much faster!

Previous imports will be able to be cleared, and re-imported. A "Select All" button will also make it easier to select all posts!

Lyssa Chiavari

@pixelfed Thank you so much! Is there anything in particular we should do to help the process? I'd heard there may have been issues with posts with video, multiple pictures, or emojis, are any of those things ones that we should avoid importing? Or will the update make everything good to go?

Kir Belevich

@pixelfed any updates on this for pixelfed.social instance? Can't wait to try this great feature out but only got 100 stuck while importing photos so far.

Suitbert Monz :mastodon:

@pixelfed Any update to undo / delete the previous instagram import!? Please make it a sorted feature to get the timeline in date order. Thanks a lot!

@pixelfed Glad to hear this is optional. I definitely have zero interest in stories on Pixelfed.

Kristian

@pixelfed I've never even understood what "stories" are. Like, a slideshow?

Josh Mono

@pixelfed Wow, options! What a time to be alive.

Seriously though, it’s almost odd to think of options as luxury. More options are always welcome in my book, so this is great!
