Reached out to a few projects regarding Groups federation, looking forward to working together on compatibility.

@dansup Apart from the question above (can/should I link images to include in posts) is there any reason not to support WebP as it'd be 1/5th the size with no visible quality loss? #pixelfed

Very extremely unfortunately #pixelfed does not support #WebP which would make the image 1/5th of its size.

Student of mine is conducting a survey on the barriers to uptake of alternative social media platforms. Your input would be much appreciated. Please boost.

Hey guys, what's up

I am conducting an anonymous survey for my MSc dissertation on the barriers to uptake of alternative social media platforms. If you're interested, please click the link below. Your input would be much appreciated!

My #Pixelfed node is back up again. I had forgotten to reinstall the bcmath extension when I downgraded #PHP from 7.4 to 7.3 because #Nextcloud on the same machine isn't compatible, which prevented #Composer to pull the latest dependencies, which triggered a PHP Fatal Error. 😅

Ah, the joys of #selfhost without containers! I'm more and more tempted to look into #Docker, but I'm afraid of the learning curve before I get the same setup I have now. Also it probably would involve converting about 20 #Apache configuration files to #nginx which I'm not looking forward to either.

Does anyone have any pointers for either task, containerization and/or migration from Apache to nginx? #help

Final thought for the day.. which will arrive first.. #pixelfed #MicroUI or #Friendica postgresql support?

One of those two will likely convince my friends and family to try the fediverse.. twitter-esque micro-blogging doesn’t interest them so this instance will for all intents and purposes remain a single-user instance ad infinitum.

not to insinuate that they are drawn to postgresql, or even know what it is.. that’s my line in the sand..

The #Debian project joins the fediverse by running a #Pleroma, #pixelfed, #Peertube and #WriteFreely instance 🎉

@dansup #pixelfed #help Where can I find a collection I saved but did not publish? Hitting the back button or fiddling with the address bar aren’t an option in iOS Add to Home Screen context.

Eagerly awaiting that #Pixelfed instagram import feature to land.

I wasn't aware of this and no, it's the requirements to be added as a Home Screen app. Since iOS 13, when added to the Home Screen, Friendica will open in Safari instead. Any previously added Home Screen Friendica app will still open as a mobile web app with a couple of quirks (wrong app title "Untitled" shown when switching app), but any newly added won't.

#Pixelfed isn't affected, so I may just look into their code.

It’s been a popular running joke to ask @dansup® when did #PixelFed federate because he said himself that he wanted to get multiple things right first before releasing this feature. Someone even bought the doespixelfedfederateyet.com or something.

So, it might be a version thing, indeed.

That said, this would still mean that up to a reasonable recent version, federation was *not* working. Which means that federation is placed on a low prio in #pixelfed.

That is fine, but not clearly communicated, IMO.

And it will (and IMO should) get critique from the fediverse. IMO a product should only market itself to the fediverse when it actually supports federating with that community. Not before.

So how does this #pixelfed federation part work? If at all.

When I follow a pixelfed user from a mastodon server, I don't see any posts.
Within pixelfed, I cannot find mastodon users either

Is there a way to have just one account in the #fediverse, instead of creating multiple accounts on #mastodon, #pixelfed, #peertube, #funkwhale servers? In other words, is there a way to decouple identity from content, now or in the future?

Since it seems to be Question and Answer time for @dansup® about @pixelfed, MySQL/MariaDB support when?

This is the main obstacle for me to self-host it.
