So cool to see @nlnet officially join the fediverse using https://gotosocial.org/

Thanks for supporting so many amazing #fediverse projects, including @pixelfed

(in fact, our project was the first fediverse project funded by nlnet ✨)

At this point I am convinced that Pixelfed is intentionally making it difficult to view NSFW content. The issue about the blur on NSFW posts has been open almost 4 YEARS now, and every new mention points back to the 4 year old post.

This is my OWN PROFILE on Pixelfed. It won't show me my OWN NSFW photos,

While you can disable comments on @pixelfed (and it federates), we are working on better comment controls. ✨

Soon you will be able to limit comments to mutuals, accounts you follow, and more!

Why does safari hate mastodon advanced mode???

I just accidentally boosted something when I meant to favourite it, I know its not mastodons problem because this never happens on chrome

like, idk what the safari team did recently, but you can def notice how it breaks sites when you keep the tabs open, steve jobs is rolling in his grave!!

I'm learning swift to implement on-device translations, hashtag and alt-text suggestions!

don't worry, kotlin is next 😎

When it comes to adding features like these, I draw the line at on device processing when possible.

Privacy is fundamental, and I'm only willing to implement features like this if they can be implemented using native apis, we will never use ChatGPT or 3rd party APIs period.

Just shipped a new mini side-project for Pixelfed + Laravel Forge + Cloudflare.

This tool enhances your @pixelfed server security by automatically updating your server's firewall to allow only Cloudflare IP ranges, effectively blocking unauthorized requests.

This can ensure that only legitimate traffic reaches your server, reducing the risk of attacks and unauthorized access.

Simply add 2 env vars and setup the scheduler, and it will auto-update 😎

I'm back!

I took a lil break from Mastodon today to focus on the app 😅

I'm going to wrap up Groups and the new @pixelfed app this week, and then I can jump back to @loops and @supapp

Y'all are going to love the new app, it just keeps getting better and better ✨

Next week is hackathon week at @pixelfed HQ where we compete for the best project

I'm planning on experimenting with a more efficient transport protocol for federation between Pixelfed servers, and will be documenting my progress during the week!

Infinite scroll is a blessing and a curse, combined with algorithms, they can become quite addictive.

That is the whole point of developing a project right, for people to actually use it, and the most possible?

I know, there are detriments to encouraging excessive use, but we shouldn't ignore the fact that algorithms and infinite scroll are here to stay.

The question with @loops is, how we can encourage the most healthy use?

Call me crazy, but I believe @pixelfed will have its Mastodon moment this summer once the app hits the app stores ✨

I will make a separate Pixelfed Groups app, considering it's significantly different than our core photo/video sharing feature

Pixelfed Groups have their own notifications, main feed and data structures

A separate app would benefit in many ways, including easier group administration, simpler UI and support for non-core features like markdown, link preview cards and more!

Once I finalize the API this weekend, any other MastoAPI compatible server will be able to use the groups app too!

Loops and Sup were created out of my frustration with the state of the pixelfed app.

Things have changed, the new app is not only better, but ready for these features, but now I'm wondering if I should keep them separate

🤔

@dansup hi! I have a question totally understand if you don't want to give support but I am not sure if this is some bug or just something wrong with my setup. https://pixel.whisper.tf/paul when I am logged in I can access all posts when I am not a lot of the posts give me a "Sorry, this page isn't available."

What separates a good app from a great one is attention to detail, performance and simplicity

I think we got it right this time, and I can't wait to make history by shipping the official @pixelfed mobile app 🚀

Just a reminder that @pixelfed supports ephemeral stories that disappear after 24h and federate to other pixelfed servers!

I heard promising news regarding potential @loops funding 😍

Now that @pixelfed is maturing, with the upcoming v1 release and mobile app release, I will need another project, or many, to keep myself busy.

"Why are you so annoying?"
"Aren't you going to go code?"
"Stop tickling me"

Even my partner supports my fediverse addiction, if I'm not annoying him, of course I have to annoy you 😎

I'm in the process of a full security audit for @pixelfed by https://www.radicallyopensecurity.com

Huge thanks to @NGIZero for funding this initiative and helping keep our project more safe and secure ✨

Snapchat adding bday reminders and “discover contacts” to the top of your inbox is so annoying

Help needed

I haven't been able to open my Pixelfed profile page in the app for weeks - the desktop version works fime. In the app I can browse through the feed and even upload pictures, but when I go to my profile page, I get the error below.

The error persisted after clearing cache and data, so I uninstalled the up and, to my surprise, it looks like the app isn't available anymore (?).

Does anyone know what's going on? Thanks in advance. 🙌🏻

Can someone explain to me why @pixelfed keeps showing me exclusively posts from people I DON'T follow in my Home feed, rendering it completely unusable, and they don't respond to any feedback or support requests through the official contact form? #pixelfed

I need to refactor account deletion in @pixelfed

You'd think the huge warnings, after you have to re-enter your password, would make it clear

Yet, a significant amount of people come back, and want to re-use their old deleted account

You may have noticed pixelfed.social is slower than usual, after some investigation, I have discovered that Lemmy is behind the sudden surge in traffic.

While we are implementing Groups, we expected additional load from Lemmy and other Group supported projects

However, I never anticipated how much activity we'd get from Lemmy

To put this in perspective, lemmy.world has sent more activities to us than mastodon.social (to pixelfed.social)

I'm overhauling the inbox again to better handle this!

Apparently spammers are using Pixelfed to host spam images, taking advantage of our media cache.

I’m working on a fix!

I... don't WANT to dislike dansup, but every post of his feels like it's assembled by cutting words out of a magazine and pasting them on a computer screen.

I know some people are simply awkward in text. It took years to convince my boss to stop texting in caps, for example.

But it does make me curious if I'm the only one that thinks so. People seem to fave and boost these awkward posts pretty freely.
