Great news! Our S3 storage issue has been gracefully resolved, spreading joy like confetti 🎉. You can now once again unleash your creative works with absolute peace of mind, knowing that they are safeguarded and secure, even in the unlikely event of a server mishap 😉.
Let's dive into a few other updates that we have on our radar, as we strive to make your Pixelfed experience even more delightful:
Delightful Files on the Move:
We have a tiny hiccup with our charming migrate2cloud tool, which is responsible for transferring files from local storage to our enchanting S3 storage. Currently, it's unable to move a handful of files (not all of them) due to a delightful bug. This means that files uploaded in the last 1-2 weeks are waiting patiently in our cozy local storage. Fear not, as we eagerly await the genius of @dansup to weave his magic and find a solution. You can follow the spellbinding progress right here: https://github.com/pixelfed/pixelfed/issues/4514#issuecomment-1622679289
Picture Perfect Profile Woes:
Ah, the ever-charming profile pictures! We've received reports, lovingly forwarded by @ami, that profile pictures are a bit camera shy lately. Despite the valiant efforts of our delete button, these pictures seem reluctant to bid adieu. Furthermore, even the most stunning new pictures are struggling to grace your profiles with their presence. Rest assured, our brilliant minds are on the case, working tirelessly to restore the picture-perfect experience you deserve.
Vanishing Stories, Unveiling a Solution:
Oh, the fleeting nature of stories! We understand the frustration when your beautifully crafted stories vanish before their time, leaving you longing for more. We reached out to the remarkable Daniel (@(@dansup) for his extraordinary talents to concoct a remedy. Fear not, dear souls, as he has assured us that a fix is on its way, ensuring your captivating stories remain for the full 24 hours they deserve.
Thank you all for your incredible patience and unwavering support. Your boundless creativity and passion inspire us every day. We cherish the opportunity to make Pixelfed an enchanting corner of the Fediverse, where your artistic spirits can soar.
Wishing you a day filled with wonder and limitless imagination!

It's been an incredible journey so far, hasn't it? We've built a warm, welcoming home for creatives and lovers of photography, and have seen some truly amazing art and stories being shared on our instance. But we must also remember that our beloved Pixelfed instance requires care and attention in order to thrive. That's why I'm writing to you today to ask for your help in ensuring that our instance remains sustainable and vibrant for many years to come.
As you may know, we will soon be migrating from AWS EC2 to lower costs alternative and make our instance more financially viable in the long run. However, we need your support to make this happen. By donating whatever you can, you'll be directly contributing to the longevity and growth of our community.
But it's not just about the money. It's also about the spirit of togetherness and shared ownership that has made our instance (and the fediverse) special. We're part of a larger movement that aims to build a more democratic and inclusive social media space, free from the domination of big corporations. Our Pixelfed instance embodies this spirit of grassroots community building, and by supporting it, you're helping to advance this cause.
And let's not forget the power of photography as a form of speech for every human being. By coming together on our Pixelfed instance, we're not just sharing pictures; we're sharing pieces of ourselves. We're creating meaning and fostering connection in a world that so often feels alienating and lonely. Every photo uploaded on our instance is an invitation to see the world afresh, to find joy and beauty in the midst of chaos and despair.
So let's work together to keep our Pixelfed instance going strong. Even if you can only donate a small amount, it still means the world to us. Remember that we're in this together, and that every one of us has a role to play in shaping the future of social media and the internet as a whole.
