PixelFed has just reached 50k users on 186 instances! πŸ₯³

If you haven't tried it yet, you can find out more from the official site at:

pixelfed.org

It's a Fediverse alternative to Instagram, and federates with Mastodon etc. so millions of people across the Fediverse can follow PixelFed accounts.

PixelFed has an unofficial Android app called @PixelDroid. It's currently in beta testing, you can get it from F-Droid:

f-droid.org/packages/org.pixel

If you don't have F-Droid yet, here are instructions on how to install it:

Easy to forget to add alt text to your media, now you can make sure you never forget to add them!

This new setting will prevent you from creating new posts unless they have alt text! Will soon support our mobile apis too. #pixelfed #accessibility

So happy that people are using stories, even see a few federated ones 😁

How do you like the new stories? Anything we can improve?

We're aware of a regression affecting following counts. A fix will be available soon!

We heard you!

We removed suggested posts and the "You're All Caught Up!" screen from home timelines.

Introducing Archives, you can hide posts without deleting them and unarchive at any time!

Set a default license, sync licenses for all posts and enforce media descriptions on the new media settings page!

Just finished implementing the last bit of federation logic for stories! Will ship later today.

Stories will only be delivered to other :pixelfed: instances for now.

Really excited for the Desktop Compose UI!

Had a blast building it, I hope people find it easier to use!
