So the most challenging thing about implementing custom filters is making them easy to use for users, this is just too complicated.

I need to speak with our design team and work on a simple mode, we can keep this for an advanced mode.

#pixelfed #customFilters #pixeldev

Going through every one of our dozens of screens in the Pixelfed app to add dark mode support has lead to two side effects: unifying our UI and color scheme, and fixing bugs and unintended side effects.

I'm still working hard on this and will post an update in a few hours.

You said the current login and signup process is too complicated for other servers.

So I redesigned the whole flow. Feedback appreciated!

#pixelfed #pixeldev

"I don't remember what server I signed up on"

Okay that's it, I'm going back to my original plan. It will not be confusing to newcomers!

#Atari8bit I made a quick little graphic demo overlaying display list interrupts atop an ANTIC Mode F display.

Am I the only one who struggles with cut off text in Pixelfed posts? I know #Pixelfed is mainly for images, but IMO it should still work with text alongside.
Problem is, longer text is clipped with"..." but a click on this text does not expand it. It took a long time to figure out that a click on the Date/time of a post leads to the full post page where the full text is visible.
The same happens in comments (cut off) but there does not seem a possibility to expand the comment.

Experimenting with separate hashtags in the @pixelfed app

Before vs After

Wdyt?

#askFedi #pixelfed #pixelfedApp #pixeldev

Is there anywhere in the #pixelfed app (or he web UI) where I can see (and possibly change) which hashtags I am following?
The explanation "You are seeing this post because you are following one or more hashtags" is not very helpful either.

#pixeldev

⚡ We have re-enabled the experimental home feed on pixelfed.social after fixing a few bugs!

You may notice posts in your home feed from accounts you do not follow, this is the hashtag follow feature!

You can mute accounts, or unfollow hashtags to clean up your feed.

We are working to improve your home feed with advanced filtering tools that will be shipping later this month!

#pixelfed #pixeldev #hashtagFollows

@pixelfed We would love to have the ActivityPub import routine also include importing .webp and .heic picture formats. These picture formats seem currently not to be supported for import to Pixelfed. Webp seems to be the most commonly used picture file format in Instagram at the moment.....
#pixelfed #pixeldev

Almost done the @pixelfed home feed refactor

I've been meaning to finish this for some time, and it will bring us up to par with Mastodon features like:

💡 Real-time streaming
#️⃣ Hashtag follows
⚡ Faster feeds
😅 Efficient pagination
🤔 Improved filtering
🔔 Push notifications

Shipping soon!

@pixelfed has the best DM experience among other fediverse projects.

@dansup should work on a mastodon client. Cuz, Pixelfed app is the only fedi client I'm currently satisfied with. 😎

#fediverse #dansup #pixelfed #mastodon #dm #pixeldev #mastodev

On our @pixelfed instance (nixorigin.one), we allow upto 20 photos per post 😏 .
Unfortunately @Mastodon can handle only 4 !

#Mastodev #pixelfed #pixeldev #mastoadmin #pixelfedadmin #fedimin

Today, I took the time to send emails to over 100 inactive users on our @pixelfed instance (nixorigin.one), all of whom used to be active. However, I must admit that the experience wasn't as smooth as I had hoped for. It required visiting each user's overview page, clicking on "Send Message," and then navigating back to the users directory. It would be great if @dansup could consider adding an option for sending mass emails 📧 to simplify this process.

Posted a story from @pixelfed app !

I like it 👌

#pixelfed #fediverse #pixeldev

Hey @dansup and @pixelfed ! 📷 Spam comes in all shapes and forms, right? 😅 I was thinking it would be great to have a more user-friendly way to view ALT text for images on Pixelfed. Also, it would be handy to have a dedicated tab on the dashboard to see the posts I've unlisted from the timeline. These additions would be awesome for preventing spam! 😊👍

My goals for this weekend:

⚡ Fixed Import from IG
⚡ Stories + Pixelfed app
⚡ Improved app admin
⚡ New https://fediverse.info
⚡ Launch Beagle Beta

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

https://github.com/pixelfed/pixelfed/blob/dev/config/media.php#L12-L21

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

Everyone makes mistakes, and acknowledging them and fixing them is how you grow.

As embarrassing they can be sometimes, what matters is how you handle them.

Even though it took almost 3 hours to export a production copy of pixelfed.social and import it locally to test the fix, I'm glad I was able to ship the fix despite my other plans.
