We are so proud of @nprofile1q... for being the only #ActivityPub developer to be accepted into the Sovereign Tech Standards cohort.

You've seen what he's done with Pixelfed, Loops, Fediverse.info and FediDB.

Just imagine what he can do for #ActivityPub standards work, having two major platforms that can steward and solve problems at scale and in the real world 🔥

Our founder @nprofile1q... will be sharing a major announcement this week!

We can't wait to share the big news once we are allowed. :pixelfed: 🚀

We understand the frustration with our flagship instance pixelfed.social closing registration until we can properly handle spam registrations.

So we created this invite link that expires after 1k uses or 4 days, whichever comes first!

This is gross.

Consent is everything, that's why we allow our community to set custom licenses per post and much more.

People love Pixelfed because it's authentic and not driven by metrics and influencers.

🚨 ‼️ Pixelfed + Loops Admins PSA ⚠️

You need to update ffmpeg to v8.1.2+ ASAP.

We made a guide for Ubuntu ⬇️

https://gist.github.com/dansup/460039bf77284752cbf5ca7d6406f6c4

Please boost for visibility, this also affects other fediverse software, and this guide may help those admins too.

See https://jfrog.com/blog/pixelsmash-critical-ffmpeg-vulnerability-turns-media-files-into-weapons/ for more details about the vulnerability.

We are making great progress on our new app!

Tonight we finished the compose flow, notifications, posts and are wrapping up the settings screens.

We are prioritizing core features so we can ship sooner, with features like Collections and Stories coming later this summer.

Own a 3D printer?
The fediverse has a platform for that!

You can explore 3D prints that can send g-code directly to your printer.

Something big is coming to Pixelfed.

We've reimagined the entire mobile experience from the ground up, blending beautiful design, lightning-fast performance, and thoughtful accessibility into one seamless app.

Here's your first look.

We shipped Starter Kits for Loops, and they are coming to Pixelfed this summer ✨

Finding your people across the fediverse is about to get a whole lot easier, with Mastodon preparing a similar feature that will be compatible.
