I was a member of the beta, and one thing that app really needs is a dark mode.

~~It has a dark mode now (on iOS, at least. Maybe they’ve got a different codebase for Android)~~
Edit: Scratch that. Only the login flow has dark mode.
I hope they also add a feature for short video clips.
loops.video integration wen?
you gotta keep ’em separated
did you know the singer for the offspring came up with that line when he was working in lab- he was making petri dishes and you make them hot and then cool them to a certain temperature.. so he was trying to wrap up and the petri dishes weren't cooling down quickly enough, so he moved them all apart to allow air to flow between them and kept saying "you gotta keep em seperated" in his head, and then used this one riff they had while they were working on the album with that line. come out and play was the last song they made for that album
I thought this was shit post or copy pasta but I'll be damned. He did come up with that line while cooling Erlenmeyer flasks.

I just installed and is pretty neat. Truly a photo first social media.

how are they paying for the hosting?
Donations and NLNet grant, you can support Pixelfed yourself
Absolutely NO sexuality explicit content. This includes, but not limited to, images/videos/chat around sexual acts. There are other places on the internet for this.
😥
Seems fair. There are many places for erotic/porn content on the web. And for a federated network it is good to not force instance owners to manage avoiding the hosting of nudity by federating it.
Nudity isn't inherently sexual, and they pointedly have not mentioned it in the quoted text. It sounds like only explicit sexual content is forbidden, not nudity.
I do think even this is an overreach for a federated network, though, assuming Pixelfed is enforcing this on all instances (is that even possible?). It should be on the instance owners to make that decision. I couldn't find where the quoted text is sourced from, however.
Someone could just start a NSFW version, right?

Really enjoying Pixelfed. In fact I have found it's fairly smooth going replacing Meta apps and Twitter.
Is Pixelfed an appropriate place to upload an image to share on Lemmy / Mastodon?
It’s doable, but you might as well just upload it here. But for smaller albums, it would be a good idea.
What's the intended use case for Pixelfed?
Instagram replacement rather than Imgur
For that there is https://catbox.moe/ and https://imgbb.com/

It acts as a Instagram replacement (but is actually about photos and not videos)
loops.video is aiming for the video segment. Tho' it seems like one app for pix and vids would be nifty.
Pixelfed does videos to, and I think federation with loops is planned

Whatever the usecase for Instagram is

I've been doing that exact thing, but only as long as the images would be Instagram-worthy in the first place. Not just temporary junk. I figure it's probably more optimized for picture storage, since that's the whole point right? Plus then I get it two places instead of one!
If you use the raw media link itself instead of the link to the post, it displays on Lemmy exactly the same as if you'd uploaded it here in the first place. So that's nice.

Why is their top instance not compatible? Pixelfed.social gives me errors when I try to auth
I didn't get any error. Probably just overwhelmed by new users 😆
It is compatible. You need to jump through the email confirmation hoop before it’ll actually work with the app though. So if your account is new, that’s probably the reason.
Besides that, it could just be the mass influx of new users that are fleeing Instagram.

I have a Pixelfed account and have tried the app.
But I can't actually make posts using it. Don't know where the hiccup is.

I’m a little underwhelmed by the iOS app itself, but the content is great
Hopefully Pixelfed continues to bloom into a solid community!
The app doesn’t really feel native, and doesn’t have features like clicking to enlarge an image. If it’s open source I’d look into helping though

The Impressia for Pixelfed app has been serving me well the past 6 months.
I was wondering about that app as I saw the listing. I'm glad someone likes it.
It looks like the recommended Pixelfed instance, pixelfed.social, is running an outdated version of the platform. Aka the instance most new users will login to, and the one I created my account on last year. I guess I could make an account elsewhere, but meh. Hopefully they get that sorted
On that note, has anyone here gotten into the Surf (the Flipboard thing) beta? I got in, but the download link does not work, but from what I understand that's supposed to turn into a whole-federation browser starting with the microblogging sites (Mastodon + Bluesky + Threads), so I wonder whether they'll add support for Pixelfed et al in the future.

once again tried to register. this time, the biggest instance doesn't even load.
It might help to pick a smaller instance.
pixey.org is a good one to try
