Sooo I accidentally ended up with too much philadelphia cream cheese, and I'm trying to think of what I can make with it, because I doubt I could eat an entire cheese cake by myself..

@thisismissem that sounds like a good problem to have! you can make cream for cake or so many other things

I have been called a "geriatric millennial" by my partner too many times, I've had enough.

@dansup Hey brother, I am still trying to figure out how these platforms work. Meta is free because of the ad/data selling. Lets say it is 2027, Pixelfed is now the top dog. Would your platform survive being based on that it is decentralized so people can spin off and foot that hosting bill to be connected? Or? Just curious.

dansup,
@dansup@mastodon.social avatar

@Im_Dylan Yeah, the code is open source so it will live on by whoever can host it. Servers and compute is getting cheaper by the day, by 2027 we will have solar powered SoC everywhere

Pixelfed has technically supported Polls for 3 years, however, I never finished the remaining UI components.

They are now back on my radar and will be fully implemented as Groups and Stories depend on them!

Pixelfed Groups even supports and

This opens up so many more federation possibilities 😍

@MotionToExtendDebate thanks, its a lot of fun and I'm looking forward to seeing massive growth this summer in the fediverse!

Pixelfed Live is one of the most overlooked features we have

We're working on v2 with easier deployment, first class mobile app support and improved federation!

ICYMI: Pixelfed Live = Broadcast Live from Anywhere, with Chat!

@gisiger It's a dedicated app, but it needs to be re-written.

It was my first mobile app, and I've learned a lot since then haha

Pixelfed Groups are a major yet unique feature.

You won't see Group posts in your home feed or public/network feeds.

There will be a dedicated feed/page/screen for your Groups feed (that contains non-chronological groups posts)

Each Group will have its own page, and you will be able to browse its feed chronologically or by most popular posts

Groups will support text-only posts, comments, reactions and DMs however they will be separate

Lemmy/Kbin will be supported, along with Smithereen

Another thing about the @pixelfed app you may not know: our Discovery feature uses a custom central API to show popular posts and accounts on every instance, even brand new ones!

This feature highlights popular posts/accounts from pixelfed.social and mastodon.social in a clever way to ensure that every Pixelfed instance and its users can browse and discover content regardless of local content!

I do plan on extending this feature later this summer 😎

Did you know the @pixelfed app uses a deduplication algorithm on the hashtag feed?

Early on we identified a pattern of accounts posting the same content on their Mastodon/Pleroma account and again on their Pixelfed account.

Nobody wants to see duplicate posts, and I’m proud of the complex yet elegant solution I shipped!

It’s the small things and attention to detail that set us apart 😁

dansup,
@dansup@mastodon.social avatar

@darnell @pixelfed Thanks!

It was tricky to implement, there were a ton of edge cases between platforms until I devised a new algo that uses several "signals" and ranks them efficiently.

It does make browsing the hashtag feeds so much better, it's not perfect but it's a great experience compared to the current one on other platforms!

TikTok Notes is trash! So boring and full of spam!

One more thing, not only am I releasing Pixelfed Groups but also an api spec and open source groups mobile app that will be compatible with any server that implements the simple api spec!

The api spec is different from the fediverse spec, and we aim to be compatible with other implementations!

A dedicated Groups app with multiple account support, push notifications and share extensions will go a long way to help standardize the experience.

I do have a FEP planned for the ap side!

Pixelfed Groups are basically a clone of Facebook Groups, henlo again zuck 😘

@dansup@mastodon.social avatar

Pixelfed Groups has a feature called SlowJoin mode that allows you to define fine-grained permission limits for several actions.

In addition, all group activities from users, mods and admins are logged in an easy to browse Interaction Log. Should you need to apply limits to a specific member, you can limit most actions on the member tab!

We pioneered the concept of cross group moderation in 2021, and are in the final stages of implementation.

Pixelfed Groups will support private or local-only groups!

In addition, we will offer many features and settings to make managing your group, moderators and users more effective and easier!

If a desktop environment follows you, would you feel the obligation to try it?

Like its almost as if this was meant to be, it looks similar to MacOS which I use atm... spooky

Being the bigger person isn't always easy, see my complicated relationship with Meta for example

I do feel like I have to stand up for myself and remind people that I've been against Meta from the beginning but as I tried to be a good developer by listening to user feedback, I had to compromise and add domain blocks, and as a result several people accused me of colluding with Meta or whatever.

Heck if you do, heck if you don't

I don't let it get to me, I have more important things to build 😉

I boosted the GoFundMe of my harshest critic, after apologizing and offering to collaborate to resolve the underlying issues

He ignored me, then blocked me, and continues to spread hatred about me and Pixelfed

Yeah, I've made mistakes but I've learned from them and hold myself publicly accountable with brutal honesty

I wish his project all the best, it's sad we can't get along, or have basic respect for each other, but I guess that is what sets us apart

😱 pixelfed.social has 47,775 custom emojis 🫠 https://emojos.in/pixelfed.social

@liaizon @cheeaun I only added 2 emojis myself, but yeah our implementation is clearly broken.

I thought Mastodon cached all custom emoji, but clearly I was wrong.

Will add this to my todo list.

Kinda wild that ActivityPub is two years old now.

I remember back in the summer of 2018 it seemed like a new project was announced every week.

@juergen_hubert Now yeah, the post is from 2020 😁
