@pixelfed@mastodon.social fix your phone client so I can actually find people

Coreyartus

@pixelfed It would be really awesome if, on the web interface, you could have more than six results at a time proliferate in the search results... Culling through several hundred results six at a time is a bit tedious...

Admins: Do you run an instance with S3 enabled?

Remote media is no longer cached on S3 (when S3 is enabled). You can restore this by setting `MEDIA_REMOTE_STORE_CLOUD=true` in .env

github.com/pixelfed/pixelfed/b

We're also working on a few tools to better manage local and S3 media! #pixelfed #pixeldev

Oliver :mastodon: :piraten: 🇺🇦

@pixelfed Should it be cached on S3 or do you rather recommend to keep this option disabled for local caching?

@pixelfed any improv on the API for user/pass access like as by Mastodon?

Kee Hinckley

@pixelfed Definitely looking better!

I still can’t get location to work though. I can’t find Forks, Washington, USA, Hoh Rain forest, or Olympic National Park.

We're preparing the release of our mobile apps on the App Store and Play Store by the end of this month to coincide with our 5th birthday!

F-Droid? I would hope the Android app is 100% Free Software without proprietary Google Play Services libraries and it is easy.

✨ Our People Directory will be rolling out to Pixelfed Web UI and mobile apps later this week.

This means you'll be able to discover people across the fediverse from the comfort of your Pixelfed instance!

@pixelfed Still asks for camera permission, does not allow posting already taken pics - was this planned to be fixed a few versions ago?

Edit: that’s about the mobile app, though :)

Mariusz K. Grzeca

@pixelfed The Dockerfile seems to have not been updated for quite some time, and it is not possible to build a functioning Pixelfed container based on it since around April 12th. That's probably why the latest containers from zknt/pixelfed are also not working.

We fixed a bug in fediverse.info/explore/people that prevented adding a new account! It should work as expected now ⚡ #fediverseInfo

@pixelfed still says ‘server error’ for my account...

Bob Harvey

@pixelfed

And, indeed, I have now been able to submit.

I like the concept, although it feels semi-detached, and does not (yet?) Aid discovery from within the federated apps.

I also feel that adding hashtags to my bio is a style change and reduces its intimacy. Perhaps you should lobby for a separate "interests" field in an ID to put them in? Where the # character would be superfluous (?)?

Bob Harvey

@pixelfed

On the subject of #bugs, the search box above the list of topics does not appear to work for me (edge browser, android)

I tried "History", "#History", and the same for archaeology and cameras. Nowt happened.

What about a "feedback" item in the menu?

Seeing "Server Error" when attempting to self-submit on fediverse.info/explore/people ?

We're aware of the issue, and working on a fix! #fediverseInfo

Submit account error on fediverse.info People Directory

✨ Grifter-free Fediverse Discovery

We built an opt-in directory of people using bio hashtags as topics.

fediverse.info/explore/people

One more thing, we're building an API to power discovery and follow recommendations in our project and the API will be open and available to anyone, including other fediverse projects! #fediverseInfo

@pixelfed fix up your contrast, the text is way too close to the background

(Sounds great otherwise, thank you for building)

@pixelfed Nice! I'm curious if it's going to work with Hubzilla, too 😁

@pixelfed This looks absolutely beautiful on my phone but for some reason it's really hard to see/focus on with fedora38/firefox.

Jared White

@pixelfed I'm having difficulty opting into the directory, keeps saying server error

pixelfed

⚠️ We shipped an important federation fix.

Admins should update to fix the remote posts/comments ingestion bug!

(We previously rejected posts/comments from remote accounts with 0 local followers, this is now fixed)

Steve Dinn

@pixelfed Thankyou! I just set up Pixelfed a couple of days ago and I thought I was going crazy.

Shirtless Jay

@pixelfed I'm updated to v0.11.6, but I'm still seeing the behavior where if someone replies to my Pixelfed post from Mastodon, it does not show up as a comment on the Pixelfed post unless I am following that person's Mastodon account from my Pixelfed account. Is there a setting I'm missing somewhere that's preventing this from working as I'd expect?

Andy Carolan :prami:

@pixelfed Very nice!

Somewhat shocked that there are so few servers in the UK though.

We should mention that the People Directory requires self-submission by adding the #fedi22 hashtag to your bio.

As easy as it is to join, if you want to remove your listing, simply remove #fedi22 from your bio and either wait for our crawler to remove it or you'll be able to immediately remove it when we ship this redesign!

Vincent 🌻

@pixelfed Sounds interesting… is it a true people directory, ie is it possible to add more than one account to one person?

♾️ ᜌᜓᜃᜒ (Yuki 스노 雪亮) 🐬 :calckey:

@pixelfed@mastodon.social A suggestion, would it be possible to add a sort based on “last active”? Maybe it's the default?

And platforms that can setup a “this account has moved to”, are regularly pruned? (Or, maybe this is already in, I just haven't noticed yet.)

DM us with a brief introduction and we'll respond with with an invite link! #pixelfed #pixelfedArt

We sent an invite code to everyone who sent a DM!

pixelfed

We're going to keep registrations closed (on pixelfed.art) until further notice, though you can feel free to DM us for an invite.

Also consider joining mastodon.art instead, they have a vibrant community of artists and dedicated admins/mods that keep the community safe and healthy.

We ❤️ mastodon.art and understand if you decide to make it your home instead of pixelfed.art!

pixelfed

✨ Did you know we limit signups to 1000 users max by default per instance?

We do this to encourage decentralization, though it's easily to set your own limit or remove it.

A recent update includes a new knowledge base page that better explains this! #pixelfed

Instance User Limit Page

We have a limit on how many users can join our instance to keep our community healthy.
If you have been redirected to this page, that means we've reached our user limit or we are not accepting new account registrations at this time.
Please try again later, or consider joining a different Pixelfed instance.
marius

@pixelfed according to the latest scientific research the optimal number of users for an instance should be 1416. Please fix.

@pixelfed Always implementing new functions in pixelfed is all well and good, but the improvement of already existing functions should also be considered.

The newest functions are of no use if basic functions do not work properly.

aris

@pixelfed this looks like very good functionality, and also looks like a bit of confusing user experience. There are some uses of color that appear to be non-intuitive, and many elements that look similar that I would assume behave differently.

Is there a way to test this and provide feedback? Would that be helpful?

pixelfed

Imgur blocking Adult/NSFW content is most likely influenced by their monetization strategy.

You know why they (and Tumblr/IG) want to block Adult/NSFW content?

Ads. Advertisers don't want their ads (and brand) to be associated with adult/NSFW content.

We aren't beholden to advertisers, and embrace freedom of expression. We have no plans to ban NSFW content.

Dr. Unabart :vepi: :jrbd:

@pixelfed Are there ever plans to allow users to migrate their content from IG to PixelFed? That’s the only thing holding me back from going full time with it. I foolishly invested too much time into my IG account. Not really worried about the comments et al, but at 2000+ pics, manual migration, pic by pic, isn’t feasible. I know I’m just one dude, but maybe something like that could help others break the collar as well. Thanks for everything!

@pixelfed the hardest part is getting people who haven't had to deal with constant nonsense bans to switch from mainstream platforms to alternatives like #pixelfed. Alas even when they DO get frequently banned, a lot refuse to leave (like a friend of mine who has three alt Facebook accounts they switch between as one gets a temporary ban...) They all give the excuse that "if I quit [mainstream platform] then I'll lose access to family and friends!" to which I say "if those people are really worth keeping in contact with, they'll follow you to the new platform." if nothing else, there's always email.

IDK I'll just keep trying to lure my mainstream platform followers to less faschy places by posting "hey go here to see the uncensored version of my content!" but something something horses, water, drink...

We messed up.

We haven't been properly handling blocks, we didn't remove blocked accounts from your followers/following, update follower/following counts or remove all notifications from the blocked account.

We fixed this, and shipped a migration to fix accounts you've previously blocked.

We're sorry about any inconvenience this caused. #pixelfed

@pixelfed Small note: "...any inconvenience this may have caused" always sounds insincere. This is honestly a perfectly good apology without that last line 😀
