Pixelfed federates now! π
Merry Christmas fediverse. #pixelfed
Visualizing the fediverse in different ways is really cool.
Can't wait to ship the new https://fedidb.org π #fediDB
The https://fedidb.org devtools will soon be available to everyone, without registration!
Along with a fresh coat of paint, more data/stats and an extensive public api, #fediDB will help #activityPub developers diagnose issues and test compatibility with a suite of developer tools π
How can I improve the https://fediverse.info people directory?
I have a few ideas:
- Allow registration via statuses that contain hashtag topics so you don't need to pollute your bio
- User avatars (held off on this as it would require moderation)
- Topic intersection (group results by multiple topics)
- Filter by instance/domain
- Use localStorage to keep track of profiles you seen to show fresher results
Any more? Boosts appreciated! #fediverseInfo #activitypub
Is there any interest in an official Pixelfed hosting service?
Pay as low as $5/month for your own instance with an export feature to easily migrate your data to your own server down the road if you choose.
This could help fund development and our other initiatives like https://fediverse.info!
First impressions are everything!
We're redesigning instance landing pages, some highlights include:
β¨ Modern design
β‘ Feature overview
β¨ Customizable text fields
β‘ About page w/ custom html
β¨ Improved Onboarding
β‘ Clearer instance rules
We want your feedback, admins please let us know what you want or would like to see!
Boosts appreciated! #pixelfed
We just tagged a new release, hello v0.11.3! π
https://github.com/pixelfed/pixelfed/releases/tag/v0.11.3 #pixelfed
One week ago I launched https://fediverse.info
Since then, 515 people registered and have been added to 1800+ topics!
Discovery is important, and while we strive to fill this void, our ultimate goal is to help standardize discovery across the fediverse.
Every #fedi project should have this directory! #activitypub #fediverse #fediverseInfo
PixelFed is one of the types of server that make up the Fediverse
It focuses on photos and images, with an interface that's somewhat similar to Instagram. There's more info on the official site at https://pixelfed.org and their official account is @pixelfed
You can follow PixelFed accounts from Mastodon, you might even be doing so already without realising it, because from within Mastodon they will look like any other account. (For example @connyduck is a PixelFed account)
You can get a PixelFed account yourself by signing up on a PixelFed server. There's a list of servers to join at https://fedidb.org/software/pixelfed, but unfortunately they don't currently tell you anything about how one server differs from another, so you'll have to rely on word of mouth.
There's no official app for PixelFed released yet (though there is one in testing), but you can use PixelFed accounts through Mastodon apps.

Direct Messages still use the old UI, we've been working on a Metro 2.0 design optimized for both desktop or mobile browsers and light or dark mode!
Also we included a privacy warning similar to Mastodon!
We're looking into encrypted direct messages and look forward to working with other projects on this important endeavour!

We made https://fediverse.info for you, the #fediverse.
This represents more than just Pixelfed, and we recognize how important it is to remain unbiased and not use this to further our own project.
Our long term goal for https://fediverse.info is to turn it over to a reputable, non-profit organization if possible!
Your feedback is invaluable and has helped shape the project thus far, let us know what you think about this!
We shipped more https://fediverse.info improvements!

β‘ Sort topics by oldest/latest
