I had this solution in mind for #Mastodon on #iOS, but I guess its somewhat transferrable to #PixelFed too if you are willing to maintain a list of instances.
@dansup and don't forget #Pixelfed portfolios too. I suppose yes many only see posts and don't understand those other niche features aimed at photos and video specifically.
@pixelfed jeez, @dansup, I don't even use #pixelfed, but watching you develop out in the open is giving me huge #impostersyndrome because of the sheer number of features you put out day after day 😃
@seanb@kainoa@atomicpoet The name change also helps avoid a potential legal fight online, as there is already a company using the #Calckey name on the App Store (it's a calculator app that does not boast great ratings).
Changing it is a good thing! Once #Spacehost launches & a decent iPhone / iPad app arrives, I plan to launch a solo instance based upon the platform formally known as Calckey.
When you talk about #Instagram here on Mastodon (or anywhere in the fediverse) have you actually spent much time on Instagram? Because #Pixelfed is only like Instagram in the most basic sense. Instagram is mostly populated with people selling products, services or themselves. Instagram is like a tame version of #TikTok. If federated platforms begin to look like these places I personally will drop them.
I'm glad to see #PixelFed development is coming along nicely. It's not something that I will personally be using, but it's nonetheless a welcome member of the fediverse community. PF fills a niche for many users that cannot be replicated on other fedi software, and the more options available to users, the better the fediverse becomes.
It's cool how it works once you've gotten the hang of having to boost from Pixelfed to make it show up in the associated Mastodon account which you can then boost again from an actual Mastodon account. You can post once and not have to fill in info, alt text, etc.
I'm not using apps (not a big mobile user), i'm using Librewolf on a linux desktop OS and once i committed to only having one tab of each open it's less confusing and works well.
hmm, is it intentional that #pixelfed comments are so hard to actually see? had a short discussion with another pixelfed user under one of my pics today, could not see my own responses from pixelfed at all. only could see all comments via mastodon
