Name another photo app that will happily send you to a competitor.

If Pixelfed isn't for you, there are many amazing alternatives like:

- @nprofile1q...
- @nprofile1q...
- @Wafrn - software development and instance info
- @nprofile1q...

All of them let you share images. All of them talk to Pixelfed. Leaving isn't a punishment here, because you never lose the network.

When you put people first, you build doors instead of cages.

Want to find people with similar interests?

We built an opt-in People Directory that links people to topics based on hashtags in their bio!

It's cleverly simple, yet consent-driven because you need to add the #fedi22 hashtag to your bio to be included.

(Yes, that's where that hashtag came from)

#PeopleDiscovery #PeopleDirectory #FediverseInfo

We built a really cool resource for the fediverse to help onboard new people, and for existing people to find accounts to follow based on similar interests with our opt-in People Directory!

We also invited a few trusted people to help administer this service, and oversee it, to prevent any bias of our own projects.

The fediverse thrives with trusted services like these, spread the word 🌱

We're going to delete this poll, we heard you!

We will stay focused on #ActivityPub

❤️

Our new mobile app is coming along great!

We heard you!

The new app will support many of your feature requests, like links across bios, comments and posts opening in a browser with a tap, preserving your feed position when you browse a profile, opening comments in a modal for easy browsing and much more!

We won't tease an ETA, we'll share the TestFlight and APK link when ready!

v0.12.8 is out with a few security fixes, please update ASAP!

https://github.com/pixelfed/pixelfed/releases/tag/v0.12.8

#pixelfed #pixelfedUpdate

The new Pixelfed mobile app is almost ready for beta testers, and brings a much faster, stable and easier to use experience!

We are prioritizing core features first, like feeds, interactions, notifications and dark mode.

More complex features like Collections and Stories will ship later on, so we can get this in your hands ASAP.

Hello #fediverse!

We built an opt-in directory of people you can follow, organized by topics.

It's not limited to Pixelfed, most fedi software is supported!

Brilliantly simple, you need to add the #fedi22 hashtag to your bio, and any other hashtags in your bio are converted into topics that people can find you by.

Consent-driven discovery is possible ❤️

#PeopleDirectory #ConsentDrivenDiscovery

We are aware of a spam campaign of accounts like "supportbot" that attempted to impersonate pixelfed.social staff and get users to click on a malicious link.

I (@nprofile1q...) was on the way home from FediCon when the reports came in, and I promptly suspended those accounts.

*Official communications from pixelfed.social admins/staff will only be sent via email, never DMs or comments.*

We are working on improved measures to prevent this type of abuse.

Please spread this message!

#Pixelfed

Account migration is live and working on pixelfed.social again!

It genuinely won't hurt our feelings if you use it.

One of the things we love most about ActivityPub is that no one should ever feel stuck.

Your home on the fediverse is yours to choose. ❤️

1,000,000+ people on Pixelfed. 🎉

No VC money. No ads. No algorithm manipulating your feed.

Just a community that believed in something better.

Thank you for being part of this. ❤️

(P.S - We're preparing a big release with many bug fixes and improvements, stay tuned)
