I've written a bit of an extensive guide on navigating ActivityPub and its many apps, and instances, along with some initial questions new users might have, and links to mobile apps.
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!
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 ✨
I've been thinking of starting a new #GhostIO newsletter as a guide to encourage more women, PoC, creatives, activists, social entrepreneurs, etc. to join #Mastodon. You know, my people from the other place.
Problem is: I can't come up with a clever name for it. Out of desperation I've turned to:
First of all: thank you for your amazing suggestions.
I'm thinking of staying away from Mastodon/elephant specific terms maybe... in case I want to discuss other areas of the #Fediverse in the future... like #Pixelfed and #PeerTube for example.
Here are my top contenders:
– Federated Futures
– The Future is Federated
– Seeds of Federation
Not sure what to do with my photographs. I used to rely on #flickr quite a lot, but it's been the same since 2000, and far from being the greatest solution.
I won't join #meta#instagram, been off from Facebook for 10 years, so I won't go back in this environment.
What's left? #500px maybe? Or #pixelfed could be a viable alternative today? Or maybe even turn my personal #blog in a platform where I can also share photos? 🤨 🤔
Last chance. If you want to have your signature on the real life letter that goes to Canada's House of Commons Speaker and others, you must tell me before 9AM PDT (about 40 minutes).
You do not have to be Canadian to sign.
Signatures received after 9AM will be on the web version.
I've made some updates to the letter including more supporting links and sources.
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 ✨
