So I spent longer than expected working on the privacy settings in the new @pixelfed app

I don't regret it, we have some pretty awesome privacy features!

Looking forward to shipping the new mobile app, and working with artists, creatives and photogs to make our platform better for everyone.

It's not who did it first, it's who did it right ✨

I can't prevent pixelfed forks, but I will do my best to accommodate feedback and feature requests, and encourage people to take on a more dedicated role within our project!

We are stronger and better together!

We really need a project manager type person to help me prioritize, so I can do what I do best and leave the community management to someone more skilled in that.

The new @pixelfed app compose experience is much improved!

You can even opt to disable optimizations to preserve your original photo!

Available soon! #pixelfed

Still working hard to ship Groups this weekend!

Can't wait 😎

Still working hard on Pixelfed Groups!

I'm making @pixelfed Autospam more intelligent ✨

I'm doing this in a local, self-host, and privacy friendly way, I'm not willing to integrate AI into Pixelfed or depend on 3rd party APIs.

We can train data locally on a specific type of pattern for Autospam Suggestions which would group reports for easy mass action handling and much more

The more you use it, the more efficient it becomes, like the core Autospam feature, and you don't need to rely on ChatGPT or any 3rd party service for this.

The new @pixelfed app is vibes 🔥

Pixelfed Groups will allow admins to have fine-grained ACL permissions, you will be able to limit specific user permissions!

In addition, admins will have the ability to review all moderation actions from other mods/admins and all actions from the account.

Later we plan to ship support for webhooks, allowing admins to deeply integrate Groups into their platforms or services!

One thing I want to point out about https://pubkit.net is that I know a service like this could be easily abused!

This is why you will have to verify ownership of servers you want to test against

It can be a text file or DNS record, and in special cases, I can make exceptions for devs who want to test against instances they can't publicly verify

The point is, PubKit will be opt-in, and won't require a fediblock, services like these can be done right 😎

#pubkit #activityPub

So this is kinda embarrassing, but I can't afford to move https://pubkit.net to a bigger server so I can onboard more developers.

I'm working hard to ship Groups so I can get the milestone funding to help fund the move!

My apologies about this, this wouldn't normally be a problem but my pay cheques have been arriving way later than usual.

Anyways, PubKit will be worth the wait, it's really handy for testing federation and I can't wait to get it in the hands of more devs!

Pixelfed Groups are coming along, and I'm hoping to ship v1 this weekend!

We're targeting Lemmy support and the Groups FEP for now, I cant wait to ship this 😎

The new Pixelfed app compose screen, it's simple and works well!

Share Intents are supported as well, so you can share photos and videos from your Photos app directly to the Pixelfed app

#pixelfed #pixelfedApp

Loops and Sup will have seamless support with each other, and with the Pixelfed app.

You can use any one individually, but they will work better together ✨

(We got y'all non-pixelfam covered too, login with your mastodon account into Sup and have the ability to view/share Stories)

It's not magic, it's @pixelfed

Pixelfed Live is so fun to use, and I'm working on making it even easier to use end-to-end.

It's one thing to support Live Streaming, but it's a whole other thing to have that baked into an ephemeral feature that is accessible and more popular with the general public than a dedicated video platform or live streaming platform.

I look forward to bringing proper live streaming to the fediverse, via @pixelfed, @loops and @supapp 🚀

I'm so happy I added mass actions to the Curated Onboarding feature

You may be wondering why https://pixelfed.social closes registration so often, and the reason is we get ALOT of spam registrations

Our Autospam system prevents them from becoming a problem, but this eliminates potential spammers before they even get a chance

Take a look for yourself, and remember most growth on the fediverse is spam.

The dead internet theory is alive, and active if you pay attention.

Most fedi devs don't 😉

The challenge with a federated DeviantArt platform will be payments, if they can offload that to a 3rd party by allowing users to add links to the store, it could work IMO

Otherwise, each instance would have to host their own Stripe payments account, and other complexities

Not to mention, giving Apple/Google Play 30% of the cut

In @pixelfed, we're handling this by allowing users to add links to specific items that redirect to 3rd party platforms

We can do this, watch me 😎

I'm experimenting with new profile layouts in the new Pixelfed app.

Which one do you prefer?
