PixelFed: A free and ethical photo sharing platform.

I have my pixelfed.social profile embedded on my neocities site to showcase my photos, it seems to be down I think it's a server side thing. Was just wondering if anyone else is experiencing this?

After searching around for answers to which server I should join, I came to the conclusion it didn't matter much. It seems I was incorrect, however, as pixelfed.social, the server I eventually chose, currently has IG imports disabled. This is an issue, as that was basically my while reason for joining, to migrate from IG.

So my question is, where should I go now?

Does pixelfed have dark mode on android? I open my app and go to appearance and I don't see any options for that. All my other apps are in dark mode. The web version dark mode works. I want to use pixelfed but the white that the app uses could not possibly be worse for my eyes. Trying to use the app for just a few minutes gave me a headache.

When I upload a short video to Pixelfed, I don't get a preview image. The video is mp4 H.264. Is there a solution? I would find Pixelfed super as an Instagram replacement. But without a preview, it's not that nice. I gave an example as a link. What experiences do you have with pixelfed and videos?

Somehow I still seem to have a hard time dealing with Fediverse and Co. Currently with Pixelfed. I'm looking for hashtags like #eosr7 or #irishwolfhound on my instance, but no results will be found. But I created such posts myself with these hashtags. If you can't find results through the search, you can't add the hashtag to the "followed hashtags". If I click on such a hashtag in my posts, I can subscribe to it.

Why can't I find posts via the search forhashtags?

As a user on my personal instance I can see text-only posts when others boost them to my timeline, but I cannot make them except as replies. Maybe it's for the best, but I still would like to make a text-only post from time to time.

I see there's an update coming soon that will add support for AVIF (woo!) and I wonder if that'll also coincide with enabling WebP for pixelfed.social? I was hoping to use less platform resources by uploading smaller/better files.

Also, if they're smaller maybe they won't have to be reconverted server-side? It'd be nice if I could optimize them locally from RAW without them being reprocessed but didn't see any guidelines in help that would guide me in doing that. Or will it be re-jpg'd regardless of what I send?

How do I get a split-flap display like these to work with Pixelfed?

Hi, have there been any improvements made to make self hosting easier in the last few months? Any good docker guides created? TIA

I am developing an Android Pixelfed client and I have a problem. When the user chooses to authenticate using Sign-in-through mastodon, the internal browser used for the login process is not closed and the "Do you want to authorize this app"-screen is never shown. The user would have to close the browser and click again on the login button to finish the oauth process. If they do that, the authorization screen still is not shown and it will be accepted automatically.

If the user chooses to login with pixelfed credentials (just the normal login, no fancy mastodon stuff), everything works correctly.

i.e. just the image itself without any UI elements? Reason for the question is it would be ideal if Lemmy posts could link direct to an image rather than the site itself.

I can install and run pixelfed on a subdomain, for example, pixelfed.example.com. However, I also run mastodon.example.com. My webfinger points at mastodon. How do I configure a webfinger for both pixelfed and mastodon? How do you all have your webfingers setup when you run multiple activitypub-based services?

Edit: I should also add that I'm trying to tie my mastodon account to user@domain.tld, not specific to the mastodon subdomain, but specific to my user email identity. My mastodon domain would be sometime like mastodon.domain.com, which would normally make my user user@mastodon.domain.com.

I do see this as a potential solution - I could route the specific service based on user agent to the correct webfinger: https://serverfault.com/questions/775463/nginx-redirect-based-on-user-agent#825725

So here is the issue on github:

If folks have GitHub accounts, could you please bump this/thumbs up?

I create an account yesterday on a pixelfed instance to post new hip hop releases and was flagged as spam.It's been 24 and still no review. Why is that? Did anybody has the same problem and how long did it take for the post to be listed?

@dansup@mastodon.social had announced this feature as 'coming soon' a few months ago - I can't find the post anymore and wonder if it works in the meantime? 🤔

So, I’m trying to make the switch from Pinterest to Pixelfed.

However I’m curious if there’s a way to instant migrate all pins to Pixelfed. Yes, it is more than 10K pins.

Bonus question: How to hide NSFW content on Pixelfed?

• How to rearrange photos in a collection?

• Can I force a single column view of photos in a collection, instead of matrix view, by a url flag?

• Why is the matrix in adding photos to a collection dialog ordered right to left whereas when viewing one it's left to right?

• Can I upload a series of photos, more than one photo at a time, but have them uploaded individually instead of in a group? Can I use alphanumeric filenames to presort the order?

These are serious questions.

Hey, I recently discovered the android pixelfed app and love it. I just couldn't figure out how to create albums. Can anyone help me out please.

Can I add more locations, for example I search and find Alum Creek, but I want to tag with Alum Creek State Park. How do I add more locations or a location that isn't found.

I have a meme account on Instagram, which I'd like to also have on the Fediverse. Can anyone recommend me a Pixelfed instance for this? Or maybe another type of server?

Hey all I'd really like to use pixelfed but I'm having an issue where I assumed that the followed hashtags would show up with posts on my home feed with those tags. However it does not seem to be the case. Is there a way for this to work that way? Thanks!

edit: so it looks like the web has https://pixelfed.social/i/web/discover/my-hashtags but that only shows a rotating 3 followed hashtags. seems like a silly way to do that. it also does not appear to be accessible from the android app.

New to pixelfed, is am using the android client. Overall it works very well but there is one basic thing I couldn't figure out, is there a way to have the feeds (network/public/home) sorted with some criteria, e.g. Show recent posts with more Likes at the top etc?

I've downloaded the beta app for Android and would like to sign up, but it's r prefer to sign up on a Canadian server if possible. Otherwise what is a country that you trust to have a social media server hosted there? Switzerland?

In the pixelfed webapp you can tag a location (not an #) to your post. But I can't seem to find what it's then used for? I can't see it on the post, only if I press to edit the image and then go to the "other" tab.

I tried to install pixelfed on my server using the docker compose file from the pixelfed repository. The installation was not straightforward and there were many problems. So I created an ansible playbook to automate the installation. Hope this is helpful and let me know your feedback.
