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.

Also, if they're smaller maybe they won't have to be reconverted server-side? It'd be nice if I could optimize them locally from RAW without them being reprocessed but didn't see any guidelines in help that would guide me in doing that. Or will it be re-jpg'd regardless of what I send?

Hi, have there been any improvements made to make self hosting easier in the last few months? Any good docker guides created? TIA

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.

If the user chooses to login with pixelfed credentials (just the normal login, no fancy mastodon stuff), everything works correctly.

i.e. just the image itself without any UI elements? Reason for the question is it would be ideal if Lemmy posts could link direct to an image rather than the site itself.

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?

Edit: I should also add that I'm trying to tie my mastodon account to user@domain.tld, not specific to the mastodon subdomain, but specific to my user email identity. My mastodon domain would be sometime like mastodon.domain.com, which would normally make my user user@mastodon.domain.com.

I do see this as a potential solution - I could route the specific service based on user agent to the correct webfinger: https://serverfault.com/questions/775463/nginx-redirect-based-on-user-agent#825725

So here is the issue on github:

If folks have GitHub accounts, could you please bump this/thumbs up?

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.

However I’m curious if there’s a way to instant migrate all pins to Pixelfed. Yes, it is more than 10K pins.

Bonus question: How to hide NSFW content on Pixelfed?

• How to rearrange photos in a collection?

• Can I force a single column view of photos in a collection, instead of matrix view, by a url flag?

• Why is the matrix in adding photos to a collection dialog ordered right to left whereas when viewing one it's left to right?

• Can I upload a series of photos, more than one photo at a time, but have them uploaded individually instead of in a group? Can I use alphanumeric filenames to presort the order?

These are serious questions.

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!

edit: so it looks like the web has https://pixelfed.social/i/web/discover/my-hashtags but that only shows a rotating 3 followed hashtags. seems like a silly way to do that. it also does not appear to be accessible from the android app.

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?

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?
