While working on the Pixelfed mobile app refactor, I found the issue causing “broken” or missing comments, it’s not a federation bug, but rather a hardcoded limit of 20 comments (on the MastoAPI)

Working on the fix, and a new pixelfed API for better comment pagination.

Not to mention, there are hundreds of people who reached out to me asking to un-delete their accounts.

Despite the clear warning that it's not reversible, people still ask.

Recycling usernames is something @pixelfed is investigating!

I'm so proud of this nav menu, it really centers the new design.

The compose and search submenus are gracefully presented, I've really thought about the order and I'm confident they will remain.

Currently reverse geocoding pixelfed places data to collect administrative_area_level_1 aka State/Provinces

This will make it much easier to tag the proper place in your @pixelfed posts!

The following countries will be updated first:

• Canada
• USA
• Australia
• Germany
• France
• UK

⚡ We have re-enabled the experimental home feed on pixelfed.social after fixing a few bugs!

You may notice posts in your home feed from accounts you do not follow, this is the hashtag follow feature!

You can mute accounts, or unfollow hashtags to clean up your feed.

We are working to improve your home feed with advanced filtering tools that will be shipping later this month!

I've been meaning to finish this for some time, and it will bring us up to par with Mastodon features like:

💡 Real-time streaming
#️⃣ Hashtag follows
⚡ Faster feeds
😅 Efficient pagination
🤔 Improved filtering
🔔 Push notifications

Shipping soon!

I also shipped a new @pixelfed command to easily rewrite S3 media urls!

This may be useful if you switch S3 buckets, or deploy a media proxy and need to update urls.

Currently refactoring the @pixelfed webUI

Going from Vue 2 to Vue 3, Webpack to Vite and Bootstrap 4 to Bootstrap 5

The first two are done, but the bootstrap 4->5 update is going to take more time as you can see in the attached image

Going to wrap up the Vue/Vite update and ship that for now, and get back to the bs update when I have more time!

Implementing some caching in the #pixelfedApp to improve UX as well as improve offline support

From my initial testing, it's quite the noticeable improvement and I can't wait to ship this 😁

Working on a few backend bug fixes, currently fixing the avatar cache logic

The issue is we store remote avatars and update them after 24 hours (which is being changed) and we never purged older avatars, leading to avatar caches ballooning to multiple GBs (containing dozens or hundreds of old avatars)

The fix will be shipping soon, and will contain a command to manually purge old avatars

On our @pixelfed instance (nixorigin.one), we allow upto 20 photos per post 😏 .
Unfortunately @Mastodon can handle only 4 !

I've seen a few different people suggest a network feed of only Pixelfed posts, that would be easy to implement, maybe a self-discovery mechanism to bootstrap new instances with a few dozen public posts too while I'm at it... 🤔 #pixeldev
