I want to thank @NGIZero for funding the development of Groups!

It's wild that Groups are finally coming to Pixelfed in the next few days 😎

There are over 8K LoC for Pixelfed Groups atm, and that will likely double in the coming months (mobile apps, federation, etc...)

It's the most complex feature we've ever shipped, and we've pioneered several mod and safety tools to enable the best experience across Pixelfed instances

Rest assured, I will show the fediverse how it's done πŸ’…

Pixelfed Groups will be compatible with Lemmy, Smithereen and other platforms!

Groups will be coming to our official mobile apps later this summer ✨

Reports are now finished in the new @pixelfed mobile app!

This was one of those small but essential todo items.

You may be surprised to know that Apple and Google require the ability to report user generated content if you have user generated content in your app

There are also other requirements, like hiding adult content by default and allowing users to block other users on social network apps.

Looking forward to shipping the app, gosh it's like so close!!!

One of the challenging aspects of building a federated mobile app is parsing post captions and being able to render them properly

See, when you make a post with mentions or hashtags, mastodon converts it to HTML and mobile apps have to deconstruct that HTML to be able to render mentions, hashtags and links properly

We could just render the HTML, but when you would tap on a hashtag or mention, it would open the browser instead of in-app

Indices and entity maps ftw, thanks backend!

dansup,
@dansup@mastodon.social avatar

@captainchaos Well, its more complicated than that.

Mastodon and Pixelfed do provide mentions and hashtags as lists in the federated activity, you can't just trust the HTML itself because not every platform uses the same attributes

We can use the mention/hashtag lists to build the entitymap with indices we can provide to clients so they can properly implement deep linking

The Pixelfed backend should separate Comments/Replies to it's own table/model

This won't be an easy undertaking, but it will improve performance and enable a better comments API with proper pagination

I will start this process now, as I'm in the middle of shipping the Groups feature which will also require new tables/models accordingly.

I promise it will be done properly, with no breakage

It may seem boring to most ppl, but I love technical challenges like this

Not sure why safari suddenly renders Mastodon advanced mode UI so poorly, I just accidentally boosted a post when tapping on the favourite button

I know this isn't a Mastodon bug because it's fine on Chrome and Firefox

shakes fist at Safari

@dansup@mastodon.social avatar

@JSharp1436 I use Chrome for this account, I've been using Safari to keep my @pixelfed account open so I kinda need it

I despise Firefox, I'd rather figure out the issue with Safari

The new Pixelfed mobile app will preserve media aspect ratios, no need to tap to view the full image as photos will be rendered to preserve native aspect ratios😎

@Batarea The new app isn't available yet, while the code is open source, I still have to finish a few things before it's ready for the general public.

Just finished adding like, reply, and report features to comments in the new Pixelfed app!

I’m proud of the progress I’m making, just a few lil things to wrap up before it’s ready for the beta release 😁

(Then I can get back to Groups, Loops, PubKit and Sup)

@resol How would you change this?

Could you design a mockup of a comment section you'd rather see? I'm open to evolving this layout.

@resol Oh this is a good one, I've seen this before!

Experimenting with a new Network feed of Pixelfed only accounts, it’s so much better πŸ‘€

Yes our new open source Pixelfed app will support Android, and all the features from iOS like Share Intents.

It already does ✨

Shipping very soon

@kaffeeringe @pixelfed No need to, they will be rendered using their native aspect ratio in feeds and other screens!

We only crop thumbs on hashtag and profile grids

I just want to educate y'all about this specific "scary" warning (that you may see in the Pixelfed app)

Apple Bonjour is a feature that enables seamless connection between your Apple devices

You can safely tap "Don't Allow" without any impact, however, that may limit Handoff support and other Apple features we're planning to implement.

Regardless, you can audit our app code yourself to verify we aren't doing anything sketchy

@treefit That’s a great idea, thanks!
