@pixelfed are Stories federated or will they be in the future? Afaik they were not federated when this feature was new?

⚠️ Admin PSA: We just shipped a fix for remote account post counts!

The counts will now increment/decrement as expected.

It won't fix existing counts, to fix these you'll need to run `php artisan fix:rpc` once! #pixelfed

✨ Easy profile edits

Not that exciting we know, what is exciting is how close we're getting to the beta release! #pixelfedApp

pixelfed

Building our own app has really opened up a lot of exciting ideas and opportunities!

✨ Username change support
✨ Post edits (media + caption)
✨ Community alt-text captions (crowdsource missing alt text)
✨ Community moderation
✨ Comment control
✨ Camera Roll
✨ Content API
✨ Global Discover API

We look forward to sharing more details soon 😎 #pixelfed #pixelfedApp

@pixelfed how does the username changing work? Is it just a display name change or will you be using account migrations for federated accounts?

Jessie

@pixelfed post editing can come soon enough!!! Heck yes :blobcatbongo:

pixelfed

✨ Conversation Control

Sometimes you may want to disable comments or limit who can comment on your posts

Our app has that covered, and we're working with other projects to federate this feature! #pixelfed #pixelfedApp

Lapineige

@pixelfed will this exist on the main web version too ?

βœ… Photos
🚫 Reels

We remain committed to photo sharing and will not emulate Instagrams new TikTok like feed.

While we will continue to support video posts, we won't treat them different than other posts in your feed.

Would you rather prefer an early app beta release at the expense of some missing features like DMs and Stories or would you rather wait for a feature complete release?

Feedback and shares are greatly appreciated! #pixelfedApp

@pixelfed
Both.

Early release on a beta channel to gain feedback.

Feature complete can take some time, so it's more targeted towards non-technical people. Perhaps helpful to shoot for a regular cadence (once a quarter?).

This allows for experiments but also has a period of stabilization

TheNextOne

@pixelfed
I would recommend Direct APK download for early android. TestPilot for early iOS. Release both in-store on time.

✨ Cleaner, leaner and more compact!

Comments are now complete in our app and we can move on to the few remaining tasks!

Special thanks to our team member @trwnh for redesigning this crucial component, they are also working on some pretty exciting features and we can't wait to share more details! #pixelfed #pixelfedApp

Andreyka

@pixelfed @trwnh
When, when its finaly come?! )) Cant wait the :pixelfed: oficial app!!! πŸ€“

tekphloyd

@pixelfed @trwnh are you going to make the app available on TestFlight? If yes, I’m happy to help with feedback.

pixelfed

✨ Less clutter, more options

We refactored the post menu in our app based on your feedback!

Community consensus is crucial to our decision making process, keep the comments coming! #pixelfedApp

Solinvictus :vm:

@pixelfed I love the β€œwhy you’re seeing this post”, thanks for this πŸ‘

gelenscher

@pixelfed @dansup I started supporting you on patreon since it feels right what you are doing. Still some questions: You are trying something real big - what is keeping form getting more people involved in your team? How will you prevent other problems instagram had in its beginnings, like shown here youtu.be/1exiUZncNnA
Have you considered asking Kevin Systrom and Mike Krieger to get involved to see their true vision come to life - open sourced and not in the hands of Meta?

pixelfed

We asked for your feedback about muting & blocking accounts from the post menu in our app.

You made it clear that we need to support these actions in the post menu, and we think we did it in a way that doesn't clutter the menu.

Feedback greatly appreciated, we listen!

@pixelfed First of all: I'm new to pixelfed (/Pixeldroid App) but... I really love it! 😍 Great work! πŸ‘

But, there is one thing: For me it would be very important to get the possibility to "mute" posts from other networks... I use pixelfed for search/post photography related stuff. To me it's a little bit boring to see, for example, mastodon posts. Because... for that, I have my mastodon account.

But it's only my opinion... ;-)

pixelfed

Do you use accessibility features like VoiceOver or know someone who does?

We're currently testing out accessibility support, if you have any ideas or suggestions on how to improve accessibility in the app, please let us know! #pixelfed #A11y

Lukas

@pixelfed Idea: When a text is pressed for a long time, it is read aloud. For images, videos or audios, the respective image, video or audio description would be read out.

@pixelfed Awesome initiative. Do you really mean screen reader accessibility here? For me as a screen reader user sharing, interpreting or otherwise working with images is difficult if not impossible, so I am curious what is achievable, what does pixelfed do except of sharing images and similar. Has anyone requested accessibility related improvements?

pixelfed

Community Guidelines are important and can differ between instances.

Our app has that covered, and we'll link to them in the appropriate context like when a user reports a post with the reason "I just don't like this".

This is just the tip of our app safety features, we look forward to sharing more in the coming days! #pixelfed

@pixelfed i think if server rules are defined then the generic/predefined categories aren't necessary

basically the report reason should take you directly to the server rule list and have one additional option at the end "it's something else", with checkboxes

Panos Alevropoulos

@pixelfed The app looks amazing. Please take all the time you need developing it. I think many newcomers will judge Pixelfed based on their experience with the mobile app, so it's important to focus on appealingness and useful features.

pixelfed

New day, more app progress πŸš€

Striving to ship. #soon

@pixelfed i think 24 hour post would be very good. Similar to story, but in the post. It's unique, Instagram don't have it.

Also, no need circle around search button

ernmander :AudioMo:

@pixelfed looking forward to getting to play with this when it hits iOS :)

Progress + Placeholders + Performance

Blank screens are boring, so we added progress indicators while media is loading and a blur hash background for immediate context.

What a difference, just look at the before and after screenshots! #pixelfed #pixelfedApp

ilyess

@pixelfed It makes a big difference, for me personally at least. When I see the first screen (blank), I instantly think "something's broken with the app", definitely not "my connection is slow." Well done!

piratenpanda

@pixelfed will this also work for accounts you don't follow yet? Missing pictures is in my opinion the most annoying thing about federation. Also not seeing likes and reshares from other instances.

pixelfed

Improved album carousel ✨

Feedback + boosts appreciated!

@pixelfed Looks great! I think the contrast of the pagination at the right top could be improved. Does it also fade out after a few seconds of no touch gestures? Also the Public switch feels a little bit too big. The dropdowm icon next to it could be a bit darker. Can't wait to try it out!

Korben Dallas

@pixelfed
Android on Chrome OS can't get through to you. Have tried from Fedilab, Indigenous and tooot. Pixeldroid from F-Droid is listed as incompatible. Not a biggie, just missing out on a nice-to-have option. Do let me know if you need any user details or specs.

pixelfed

Another productive evening, here's a few highlights:

✨ Profile UI
⚑ FastImage (image caching)
✨ Pagination (infinite scroll)
⚑ Better carousels

We're pausing new feature development to focus on shipping this app ASAP! #pixelfed #pixelfedApp

Whattodo

@pixelfed is this like Instagram but for mastadon?

Michael

@pixelfed little feature request: Instagram Always loads your profile images. The device aching on your own profile must be minute to hours. Please cache your profile images for longer, so we don't waste data downloading them multiple times and they can be shown offline.

David Chartier

@pixelfed That's great news. I think the mobile app will help a lot.

pixelfed

Today's progress on the Pixelfed app:

✨ Local + Network timelines
⚑ Album carousel
✨ Camera filters

I CAN'T WAIT TO RELEASE THE BETA OMG πŸ”₯

@pixelfed great work, keeping the UI clean and still prominent #Fediverse features, looking forewand to the release

LLPLL

@pixelfed the ONLY thing i do not like much is the menu for switching between public and local etc. but im sure you'll change it pretty soon :welp:. so excited about that :catjam:

Sacha Obado

@pixelfed I can't wait to test this out on my Android phone.
