PixelFed: A free and ethical photo sharing platform.

Any idea why it is that my PixelFed posts aren’t federating properly to my Mastodon instance? I understand that posts should be visible, but it’s inconsistent.

After searching around for answers to which server I should join, I came to the conclusion it didn’t matter much. It seems I was incorrect, however, as pixelfed.social, the server I eventually chose, currently has IG imports disabled. This is an issue, as that was basically my while reason for joining, to migrate from IG.

Does pixelfed have dark mode on android? I open my app and go to appearance and I don’t see any options for that. All my other apps are in dark mode. The web version dark mode works. I want to use pixelfed but the white that the app uses could not possibly be worse for my eyes. Trying to use the app for just a few minutes gave me a headache.

Somehow I still seem to have a hard time dealing with Fediverse and Co. Currently with Pixelfed. I’m looking for hashtags like #eosr7 or #irishwolfhound on my instance, but no results will be found. But I created such posts myself with these hashtags. If you can’t find results through the search, you can’t add the hashtag to the “followed hashtags”. If I click on such a hashtag in my posts, I can subscribe to it.

I see there’s an update coming soon that will add support for AVIF (woo!) and I wonder if that’ll also coincide with enabling WebP for pixelfed.social? I was hoping to use less platform resources by uploading smaller/better files.

I am developing an Android Pixelfed client and I have a problem. When the user chooses to authenticate using Sign-in-through mastodon, the internal browser used for the login process is not closed and the “Do you want to authorize this app"-screen is never shown. The user would have to close the browser and click again on the login button to finish the oauth process. If they do that, the authorization screen still is not shown and it will be accepted automatically.

I can install and run pixelfed on a subdomain, for example, pixelfed.example.com. However, I also run mastodon.example.com. My webfinger points at mastodon. How do I configure a webfinger for both pixelfed and mastodon? How do you all have your webfingers setup when you run multiple activitypub-based services?

I create an account yesterday on a pixelfed instance to post new hip hop releases and was flagged as spam.It’s been 24 and still no review. Why is that? Did anybody has the same problem and how long did it take for the post to be listed?

@dansup@mastodon.social had announced this feature as ‘coming soon’ a few months ago - I can’t find the post anymore and wonder if it works in the meantime? 🤔

So, I’m trying to make the switch from Pinterest to Pixelfed.

Hey, I recently discovered the android pixelfed app and love it. I just couldn’t figure out how to create albums. Can anyone help me out please.

Can I add more locations, for example I search and find Alum Creek, but I want to tag with Alum Creek State Park. How do I add more locations or a location that isn’t found.

I have a meme account on Instagram, which I’d like to also have on the Fediverse. Can anyone recommend me a Pixelfed instance for this? Or maybe another type of server?

Hey all I’d really like to use pixelfed but I’m having an issue where I assumed that the followed hashtags would show up with posts on my home feed with those tags. However it does not seem to be the case. Is there a way for this to work that way? Thanks!

I’ve downloaded the beta app for Android and would like to sign up, but it’s r prefer to sign up on a Canadian server if possible. Otherwise what is a country that you trust to have a social media server hosted there? Switzerland?

Hey everyone

Is it possible to have all posts public within an instance, but you have to login to be able to see them? I.e., Private Mode requires you follow someone….idea is that any member of the instance can see all posts, and those that are not would need to login/authenticate somehow.

I’m looking for some people to follow on Pixelfed. I currently already follow a webcomic and a couple of photo blogs; but I’d like something else. Anyone got a personal accountɂ̦ or does anyone post videos?

Shill yourself/creators-you-like and I’ll subscribe/follow if I like your content :)
