@pixelfed thanks a lot! Busy building and deploying this update just this minute. #Pixelfed

@pixelfed speaking of federation issues, I noticed that I can't view older posts from accounts on pixey.org, through my pixelfed.social account, and vice-versa. Is that expected behavior?

@pixelfed
The 'remote share/reblog notifications' thing definitely seems fixed, although shortly after I posted some photos my single-person instance managed to get itself stuck on *all* web-serving stuff, not just Pixelfed - restarting Apache appears to have fixed it.

(Restarting the web server after a significant Pixelfed update might be a required thing regardless - I may have just independently discovered this...)

A rare look into :pixelfed: HQ with our hardest working employee @drake

He's more interested in food and long walks than bug fixes, but he is the boss so we can't complain πŸ˜…

Adding alt text to your photos is important, it improves accessibility.

That's why we added an opt-in feature you can enable to force you to add alt text before you post, now available on our web UI and official #pixelfedApp

▢️ Navigate to Settings then Media to enable this #altText #accessibility

@pixelfed Honestly, this is exactly the kind of job AI was made for. Describing the content of an image nowadays is one of the easiest jobs for AI. I’m all for adding alt text to images, but that’s not the users job (and that’s exactly why it fails in practice for now).

@pixelfed Will someone ever fix mute & block?
They fail 100% of the time.

Mastodon supports media uploads, so why should I join Pixelfed?

When you filter out the text posts and only see photos/videos, the experience changes.

The process of capturing & editing photos/videos requires more effort and curation than a simple text-only post.

Portfolios are one example of this, a feature that gives artists, creators and photographers their own portfolio website portfolio.pixelfed.social/dans

We ❀️ Mastodon, compatibility not competition is what makes the fediverse so special!

@pixelfed My fav thing is the Collections feature. It’s like having Google Photos and Instagram rolled into one!

@pixelfed hello pixelfed. i have an account at pixelfed.social/@mastomememakers

-i use it as a hall of fame for my old memes; is there any way to edit posts? (thought i wouldnt need hashtags for old memes, big mistake) best regards and thanks for all your efforts

Sandro Santilli

@pixelfed I do have a pixelfed account on a server kindly hosting me it did not let me "paste" an image I had in my clipboard so I came to Mastodon official web client to do that.

Is there a web client for #Pixelfed that supports "paste image from clipboard" ?

pixelfed

⚠️ We've identified a bug when attempting to crop an image you just captured, it affects both Android/iOS.

Temporary workaround:
1 - Download photo
2 - Tap cancel
3 - Tap camera roll (black square)
4 - Crop

We'll roll out a fix soon! #pixelfedApp

Robert von Burg :vegan: :tux:

@pixelfed Awesome that you fix those bugs and post workarounds. Any workaround for the post button not working on 1.0.0.13 on a Samsung Galaxy S22 with Android 13? It really limits me on creating new posts.

JMD

@pixelfed I saw that somebody posted before a problem with doubled account, it happened to my new acc - I added the profile picture and 1st post and that somehow created the 2nd account - now I can log in into the account without posts and empty profile picture but I can see the other one in the search and I can follow it .

@pixelfed Wow pixelfed is looking really good! Will there be an app for linux mobile? just wondering.

@pixelfed awesome work! You should also make Pixelfed available to Linux mobile distributions like #ubports' Ubuntu Touch so the Linux mobile platform can start gaining more attention

@pixelfed When I saw the cat in what looks like a guillotine to me, I thought: maybe the dark mode brings darker content, too.

@pixelfed I really appreciate that dark mode is coming. Right now PixelFed is the only Fediverse app I have that doesn’t have the option to display that way.

Presumably public downloads are subject to CC licence?

Jens Comiotto-Mayer

@pixelfed Thank you! <3

My usual whiner: Please, please, please fix the basic federation related functionality, i.e. the sharing of posts or interaction with Mastodon accounts, first. I still miss much social momentum on Pixelfed due to the lack of this.

Other than that, I agree: This all sounds fantastic!

:pixelfed: Server Admins:

- Open registration enabled
- Submit your server via Admin Dashboard -> Directory page

@pixelfed can you add a button to add an image straight from the gallery? I have a lot of issues starting the camera on my pixel 7. Takes forever.

@pixelfed the app is great! Been running it on Android and it's super smooth. Keep up the good work :D

@pixelfed A reputation system is a good idea if it’s not authoritative (which could be abused or just biased).

Volpit :ac_thought:

@pixelfed very nice tools, love the attention to details

pixelfed

Discovery is important, especially for people that recently join pixelfed servers.

We're working to integrate our People Directory (fediverse.info/explore/people) into our webUI and mobile apps!

This will make it easy to discover people to follow regardless of how new your server is.

Admins will be able to opt-in, curate listings shown to their users, and allow their local users to submit/manage their own listing! #discovery #pixelfed

@pixelfed it's 2023 now, shouldn't the website and hashtag get updated to reflect that?

> Add #fedi22 to your bio, it doesn't matter where.

> The hashtag #fedi22 stands for Fediverse info person, 2022. Its a unique and short hashtag that we can use to verify enrollment in our directory.

Flo

@pixelfed My main way to discover people is by searching for/following hashtags. I’d love to see hashtags that I follow being integrated directly into my home stream (like on Mastodon) instead of being separate in β€žDiscoverβ€œ.

panasaurusrex

@pixelfed I added my pixelfed account into a mastodon app (metatext), and don't see a "follow" button when I view somebody's account (like if they commented on my post and I want to see if they're worthy of a follow). Is that a Metatext issue, or something funky with Pixelfed's configuration?

@pixelfed "on our Android & iOS apps" implies there is an Android Pixelfed app

@pixelfed Can you explain why there is no boost button?πŸ€”

Max Bachhuber

@pixelfed I don't like the portrait aspect ratio on the discover page... Most images use a landscape or square aspect ratio so much of the image is cropped there...

@pixelfed how to update this app? Is there a website where we can manually download ?
