I guess this is more of a general Pixelfed question, but what happens when a user hits their storage limit? Pixelfed.ca has a 1 GB per user limit. Will the user be unable to upload new content or will content be automatically deleted?

Pixelfed: "groups" are coming and they will be compatible with Lemmy (who knows if they will also be compatible with Friendica)

@fediverse

Groups are not new to Pixelfed, we have webUI support but the feature wasn't polished enough for use, until now ✨

:pixelfed: Groups will be compatible with #Lemmy, #Mbin, #Smithereen and other projects, and will resemble Facebook Groups in our official app!

Stay tuned, we'll be shipping the updated Groups support in the app and webUI this weekend 🚀

Thinking about checking out pixelfed, as an Australian i's thinking of looking through the servers for an instance run with an Australian focus.

Closest i got was NZ, and i dont know how strict they are about Australians, they might class us as not Kiwi enough, their rule 8 is only Kiwis.

So my question,

What would people's recommendations for a good, nice instance be?

Bonus comments on my leading choices atm would muchly be appreciated.

• pixel.tchncs.de (seem good, i think they have a lemmy instance as well.)
• pixelfed.fr (i know the language, i'd see it as a challenge to get better, mon francais est trop pas)

Pixelix is a third party android client for Pixelfed. I just got the update on Pixelfed, but you can also find the recent versions here:

🎨 UI/UX Improvements

• New Post Page Redesign – A fresh, streamlined look for creating new posts.
• Settings Redesign – Improved layout and usability for a better user experience.
• AMOLED Theme – Enjoy a true black theme for battery efficiency and a sleek look.

🛠️ Bug Fixes & Enhancements

• Fixed: Losing Likes Issue – Your likes now stay as expected in the timelines.
• Big Image Modal – Clicking on an image now opens a full-screen preview.
• Various Bug Fixes & Performance Improvements – Smoother and more reliable app experience.

Not trying to start a war here, just curious why the new instance was created. Different purpose, different goals, or just 'cause?

From Daniel:

• Simpler Onboarding
• Starter Kits
• Stories

These are the major updates coming to the next Pixelfed app build along with several bug fixes!

With some hacking at the database and APIs, I've put together a python script that allows backfilling of posts. I've now pulled in the most recent 50 posts of anyone that one of our users is following.

You may now bask in cats. https://pixelfed.ca/i/web/profile/797991200484212751

Hopefully that'll help it feel a little less empty!

I'm trying to view a post from a user on another instance and it shows "no preview available." I pasted the following URL into the search box on Pixelfed.ca.

https://pixelfed.social/p/Maipodenco/800434485245838670

TOTAL USERS is the number of users that registered on pixelfed.ca

TOTAL POSTS is the number of posts from all instances that are now accessible on pixelfed.ca

The login interface only allows login with mastodon servers.

My only account is this lemmy.ca account.

Will it be possible to add login options for lemmy and other activity pub server software (e.g. friendica, peertube, etc)?

I'm liking Pixelix, it's free on Fdroid. It's better than the official app, but missing some features still

I'm following #Vancouver hash tags and I don't see anything showing up on my Home feed; there's been new posts since following the hashtag though. Those new posts with the hashtag should be showing up on my Home feed right? I know they do on pixelfed.social.

I see a post on my pixelfed.social home feed for an account @pixelfed.ca that has #Vancouver in the post.. but on my pixelfed.ca home feed, I'm not seeing that post. I can search for it though? Is there some kind of home feed setting I'm missing?

Does anyone else have a similar experience with following hash tags that aren’t showing on the home feed?

Will the import feature be enabled at some point? I want to migrate my photos over, would be good to use the import function for that 🙏

Can see accounts on pixelfed.social but I can't see any pics from them.

Sometimes, when uploading to some sites, if I upload images with resolution and size within the correct parameters, the server doesn't re-compress the images. If the images do get compressed, then they come out looking degraded.

I don't know if those settings are per-server.

Does anyone know if there is a preferred resolution, file type and file size for photos and videos on pixelfed in general or pixelfed.ca?
