Absolutely NO sexuality explicit content. This includes, but not limited to, images/videos/chat around sexual acts. There are other places on the internet for this.
😥
On that note, has anyone here gotten into the Surf (the Flipboard thing) beta? I got in, but the download link does not work, but from what I understand that’s supposed to turn into a whole-federation browser starting with the microblogging sites (Mastodon + Bluesky + Threads), so I wonder whether they’ll add support for Pixelfed et al in the future.
I’m still on the waitlist. Download link not working sounds weird
No dark mode, no use.
I was a member of the beta, and one thing that app really needs is a dark mode.
I couldn’t find it in the App Store. How do you get it?
https://apps.apple.com/us/app/pixelfed/id1632519816
Here’s the link. Oddly, it doesn’t show up for me either when I search for it.
Thanks!!
It has a dark mode now (on iOS, at least. Maybe they’ve got a different codebase for Android)Edit: Scratch that. Only the login flow has dark mode.
The screencap in the article looks pretty dark to me? Is there something that needs to be dark that the example pic doesn’t show? Asking as someone that turns everything to dark mode.
As of now, the iOS app does not have a dark mode. Though, I believe the Android version does.
It doesn’t.
Weird. I feel like at some point I remember it having a dark mode on one or the other. Wonder when and why it was removed.
It wasn’t removed, there was never an app before.
Hi! There was actually an official Pixelfed client in beta before the current one written in react native. And it did have dark mode support as well.
No? Huh, I could have sworn I had downloaded an APK and just assumed it was the beta. Haven’t had an Android in a year, though, so I might just be misremembering or thinking of another app.
how are they paying for the hosting?
Donations and NLNet grant, you can support Pixelfed yourself
I just installed and is pretty neat. Truly a photo first social media.
I have a Pixelfed account and have tried the app.
But I can’t actually make posts using it. Don’t know where the hiccup is.
Is Pixelfed an appropriate place to upload an image to share on Lemmy / Mastodon?
Well that’s the neat part, you don’t! If you post on Pixelfed you’re already on Mastodon.
…I suppose you can reshare it if you want. Me, I just point people to my Pixelfed account on my Mastodon profile and vice versa.
It’s doable, but you might as well just upload it here. But for smaller albums, it would be a good idea.
I wish we could have multiple photos in posts here. Yes, we can put other photos in the description, but it would be nice to view all of them without opening the post.
What’s the intended use case for Pixelfed?
Instagram replacement rather than Imgur
For that there is https://catbox.moe/ and https://imgbb.com/
Pixelfed can be used as image hoster likewise, those 2 you mention are proprietary, so if one cared about that, they might prefer Pixelfed
It acts as a Instagram replacement (but is actually about photos and not videos)
loops.video is aiming for the video segment. Tho’ it seems like one app for pix and vids would be nifty.
Pixelfed does videos to, and I think federation with loops is planned
Whatever the usecase for Instagram is
I’ve been doing that exact thing, but only as long as the images would be Instagram-worthy in the first place. Not just temporary junk. I figure it’s probably more optimized for picture storage, since that’s the whole point right? Plus then I get it two places instead of one!
If you use the raw media link itself instead of the link to the post, it displays on Lemmy exactly the same as if you’d uploaded it here in the first place. So that’s nice.
once again tried to register. this time, the biggest instance doesn’t even load.
It might help to pick a smaller instance.
pixey.org is a good one to try
The Impressia for Pixelfed app has been serving me well the past 6 months.
I was wondering about that app as I saw the listing. I’m glad someone likes it.
I’m a little underwhelmed by the iOS app itself, but the content is great
Hopefully Pixelfed continues to bloom into a solid community!
The app doesn’t really feel native, and doesn’t have features like clicking to enlarge an image. If it’s open source I’d look into helping though
That’s odd. I’ve had the app for like 3 months.
It’s as a reaction to the news about TikTok possibly being sold and people jumping to “Red Book”, the other Chinese platform. Maybe some people will read the TechCrunch article and consider Pixelfed.
I like pixel fed, but like all federated websites, it doesn’t have a lot of content yet.

Those are some nice pictures! Are they all yours? Btw, I do wonder if it’s possible to comment on pictures there from here @jakelec@pxlmo.com
Just subbed. Maybe new pictures will pop up in my feed.
All mine
