dansup, It's so close, the new @pixelfed app will be in your hands soon 🚀
dada, French
dansup, It sucks to see users flock to another platform and not Pixelfed because the lack of official apps in the app stores.
I'm not resting until the app is ready to ship, enough is enough!
thefrankring, One thing that I learned working for a tech startup:
Sometimes, you just gotta ship it. It's going to be imperfect, but you'll figure it out.
pixelfed, We're setting up Push Notifications for our mobile app, you may notice requests to push.pixelfed.net, this is why!
We may add support for other apps in the future, but for now they will be limited to the official app.
kris, @pixelfed https://unifiedpush.org/ as a option?
jeff,
dansup, An open source/self hosted and federated Tik-Tok alternative, made by @pixelfed has just successfully tested federation!
If you applied to join, expect an invite within the next week! ✨
(We will be open sourcing the mobile app and backend later this summer)

dansup, Experimenting with a "Made with AI" badge for servers that allow AI generated content if properly labelled.
We're also working on a setting to hide Made with AI posts on feeds, so you can better curate your experience!
zdl, @dansup That's a cool feature ... as long as people are honest.
Sadly people are not honest. :(
divdev, @dansup The contrast is too low, it shouldn’t be so easy to miss.
dansup,
gruik, @dansup i want to break free
TerryHancock, @dansup
Very good use of this marketing opportunity!
rtw, Does anyone also use #pixelfed as well? Does it integrate nicely with your mastodon account?
rtw, @jake4480 Just created one here on the sdf instance: https://pixelfed.sdf.org/rtw I'll upload some photos now!
jake4480, @rtw nice! Followed.
dansup, So I spent longer than expected working on the privacy settings in the new @pixelfed app
I don't regret it, we have some pretty awesome privacy features!
Looking forward to shipping the new mobile app, and working with artists, creatives and photogs to make our platform better for everyone.
It's not who did it first, it's who did it right ✨
dansup, @eco_amandine @pixelfed yes, that is possible via the post menu on the feed (in the new app), so you won’t have to lose your feed position and any posts by that account will be filtered!
We’re also working on a Block & Suggest feature that allows you to easily suggest to friend accounts to block that account with an optional note and the ability to share the context (post, comment, profile) of where you blocked them. It’s limited to Pixelfed, Wdyt? Would you find this useful?
Smootasaurus,
pixelfed, It's your content, shouldn't you have more control?
We're adding even more privacy settings to allow you to have more fine-grained control over your content.
We're just getting started, our pioneering comment control support will be improved to better enforce federation support, and more!
sturmsucht,
ysobel_tbr, @pixelfed Will pixelfed be like mastodon, that is without algorithm recommending accounts? Or at least, make that optional too?
pixelfed, We're aware of Meta/Instagrams new policies around AI and the desire for artists, photogs and other creatives to migrate to another platform!
Our new mobile app is officially submitted for App Review, and we look forward to it finally being on the App Store ✨
DarkThoughts, @pixelfed Are you at some point fixing the missing NSFW toggle on the website or no? You have to click on every single image first (with all results being blurred) and then again to unblur it - which you have to do for every single image. There's no global setting under UI Settings to just show them clearly.
dansup, Block Suggest, a new feature coming to Pixelfed that allows you to suggest to mutual followers to block a specific account when you block them.
Imagine a Mute, Block and Block & Suggest Button
The recipients will get a special notification that explains the suggested you block them with optional context and on the web ui and official app, you will be able to block or ignore with one tap!
Shipping later this week! 🚀
thisismissem, @dansup I'm not sure this'll improve safety, but does have room for causing issues (plus I'm not sure how this could possibly federate)
FlockOfCats, @dansup interesting idea for some use cases, but it seems like it would also escalate interpersonal disputes that don’t need it and/or lead to dog piling
pixelfed,
sturmsucht, @pixelfed love that!
pixelfed, We're adding a new setting to allow you to disable post and profile embeds!
In case you weren't aware, Pixelfed does support Profile and Post embeds, allowing you to easily embed them on your own website ✨
Simply add /embed to the end of a profile or post url, like the examples below:
Profile: pixelfed.social/dansup/embed
Post: pixelfed.social/p/drake/692644068582758165/embed
dansup, So I’m working on a kind of PDS or relay for Pixelfed servers to discover trending content and help fill new instance timelines and profile suggestions!
It will be based on content from and discovered by pixelfed.social, however I’ll be open sourcing the PDS (Pixelfed Discovery Server) so you can run your own for yourself or others
It will be easy and intuitive, I hope to add more features to it later on, lots of potential ✨
noellemitchell, Instagram confirms test of ‘unskippable’ ads
"Instagram confirmed it’s testing unskippable ads after screenshots of the feature began circulating across social media."
"“We’re always testing formats that can drive value for advertisers,” a Meta company spokesperson told TechCrunch."
Looks like it's time for people to move over to #Pixelfed :pixelfed:

gparenti, @noellemitchell I'm so glad I dumped IG a year ago. I never looked back.

dansup, @riversidebryan Aww, thank you!!! 🙏
dansup,
kyonshi, now pixelfed.de also doesn't seem to work. what is going on?
taichara, @kyonshi This one I can get to load?
kyonshi, @taichara It loads for me as well, but still is making issues and the notifications are missing.
But today everything is kinda down.
dansup, The nice thing about the new @pixelfed app is that image aspect ratios are preserved, so you don’t miss any details!
Sometimes they can be taller than your screen, or constrained in a carousel, either way we are adding native pinch to zoom to allow you to quickly zoom in without leaving the screen/feed position you’re on!
Available later this month on the App Store and Play Store ✨
TuxOnBike,
dansup, @TuxOnBike @pixelfed yes of course there is a max height, and a max width lol. This isn’t isn’t my first gay rodeo 💅
dansup, There are a lot of new aspects that Groups bring to Pixelfed that are similar to existing microblogging platforms, such as:
- Text only posts
- Quote posts
- Markdown support
- Link cards
- Polls
And more exotic features like:
- Events
- Anonymous Posts (if enabled)
- Multi tenant/dual layer moderation
- Realtime Group Chat
They add significant complexity, but we’re doing this properly, following best practices
It will be worth it, just wait and see 😎
pixelfed, You may have noticed that @trwnh has done some spring cleaning to our issue tracker and closed hundreds of issues!
We're re-organizing our issues to eliminate duplicates, and close issues that have been resolved.
That being said, we may have closed your issue prematurely!
We recommend you comment on any issues that you feel were improperly closed that mentions @dansup to help bring it to our attention, and we will re-open the issue accordingly!
dansup, Still working hard to ship Groups this weekend!
Can't wait 😎
Hiebeler05, I've just created a bruno(a new API client) collection for the pixelfed API
So for everybody who works with the #pixelfed API, maybe it can be of help to you
