Sign-in with Mastodon is ready to ship!

We are testing this internally, and will be shipping this later this week 🚀

The IG Import feature was rushed and wasn't ready when it was initially shipped, we don't want to make that mistake again.

We promise it will be worth the wait 😉 #signInWithMastodon

Apologies, we missed an important step!

You need to add your Mastodon profile (ie: https://example.org/@username) to your Pixelfed "Website" profile field!

FYI: Mastodon supports verified Pixelfed profile links

✅ Want your :pixelfed: link to be verified green on your Mastodon bio?

1) Add your Mastodon account url to your Pixelfed "website" field
2) Edit profile (on mastodon)
3) Add profile url* to "Profile metadata" to Mastodon (any label works)
4) Save changes

* - See 2nd image for the valid url format

@w4ts0n We are considering adding support for this.

Instagram is trying to intimidate us with threats of legal action.

Help us bring awareness to our project by sharing this post, and consider donating if possible.

We're not giving up. #fediverse

Improved album carousel ✨

Feedback + boosts appreciated!

@kura Yes, it's disabled by default.

Nope! Our live streaming feature is more geared towards Live Stories, similar to IG. Did you know we approached PeerTube back in 2018 about live streaming and they used our blueprint for their implementation? Just ask them 😉

Pixelfed Live - simple live-streaming

✨ Easy to use
⚡ OBS supported
✨ Optional live chat
⚡ Fedi + mobile api support
✨ Advanced admin config (limit broadcasts to users w/ 500+ followers, disable replays, etc)
⚡ Simple setup that scales, from a mono deployment to dedicated streaming servers

Shipping soon! #pixelfed #pixelfedLive

Let us explain the new experience in detail.

To start, the new compose UI supports drag-n-drop and more media types by default.

Hello HEIC, and iPhone users 👋

@tommi JPEG-XL is on our roadmap don't worry!

In order to support HEIC, webp, AVIF, JPEG-XL and other new formats we need to carefully refactor the MediaPipeline and APIs.

Without introducing bugs and/or breaking support for other formats.

And we need to generate a fallback copy in a widely supported format like jpeg/png for older clients.

In a way that doesn't break the web UI, APIs (mobile apps) or federation (other projects).

It's a bit more complicated than adding a mime type to config

✨ Feedback wanted!

Composing a new post on :pixelfed: is a core feature and could use some improvements.

We're building a new compose experience and want your feedback! Let us know how we can improve our current compose experience, and any features you'd like to see.

➡️ Boosts greatly appreciated! #pixelfed

@crab We're working on that!

Pronouns are now displayed on hover cards! Thanks to lukas for suggesting this.

You can add up to 4 pronouns to your :pixelfed: account on the accounts setting page.

Custom and federated pronouns will be available soon! #pixelfed #pronouns
