Quando pubblico un video su Mastodon si federa su Pixelfed ma non su Loops. Veramente strano. Vi risulta?

#federazione #loops #pixelfed

Here’s a question I ask myself with genuine curiosity and worries about the first impression newbies get of the Fediverse: When people join the pixelfed.social server, they automatically follow @dansup. Am I the only person to find that weird and somehow unprofessional? #pixelfed #fediverse #pixelfedsocial

At the moment there are monthly workshops everywhere in Germany, to tell people to switch from BigTech to ethical ones.

I will also do a workshop for the praising the Fediverse in February.

Even I'm a #pixelfedadmin, I have to tell the people to chose #Mastodon over #Pixelfed, as Pixelfed is so buggy, that I don't want to frustrate them.

The https://di.day movement at the moment would be a good chance for Pixelfed - but not as it is now, with no updates since September.

It has been nagging me a lot, but I finally decided to shut down my Pixelfed server.

There are several reasons. Here are the ones off the top of my mind.

• Pixelfed governance is unclear and its maintenance is spotty and obscure. The project has no clear roadmap and it all feels very off. Even though I was enthusiastic about @PixelfedGlitch, it still seems like this fork is not attracting enough interest and participation to establish a forward-looking plan.
• Beyond governance, I share these concerns.
• I don’t want to maintain a whole instance merely for a single profile—especially after it has been inactive for a long while. Friends and folks who are curious and interested in exploring the Fediverse are welcome to join pan.rent, that is a collective, communal, and cosy instance.
• I am having trouble with the pixelfed_ynh package for YunoHost. PHP dependencies are a mess and services constantly fail. I believe it’s not the fault of YunoHost packaging, but I am no expert, just a feeling. No energy and not worth figuring it out. I tried for a while, I gave up.
• I am generally against the idea of having multiple Fediverse accounts on multiple servers for different uses. Instead, I believe we should improve filtering and sorting posts depending on their type, and having one single account linked to one identity. Overall, Mastodon Glitch Edition does the job for my occasional image and video posting, even if it’s not optimal.
• I want to use the domain https://tmi.pics for a different purpose, probably an Immich server.

Now, a question for all the sysads out there: what are the best practices you recommend before shutting the server down? I have a strong emotional attachment to the ~15 pictures and posts I have on my profile there.

What I am doing, so far:

• saving all Web pages of profiles and posts on the Wayback Machine
• performing and archiving a YunoHost backup of the application
• ?

Is there a limit to how many accounts one can follow on Pixelfed? Have I maxed out follows?



#Pixelfed

@dansup@mastodon.social

@dansup is there are reason, while in a longer text only the first 5 links are clickable - and not more in #Pixelfed?
Is this configurable somewhere? (I want it to be unlimited tbh)

Just asking here before going in for writing a feature request.

Thanks a lot for your time answering

@dansup
What you did with loops is really a great success and you can be really proud of what you shipped. I mean that 100%!

But the cost is, that the #pixelfed community is really feeling left behind. We don't need to have new features developed, but getting rid of the bugs we are having in Pixelfed would be a great start.

So please don't forget your pixelfed community and give the pixelfed software some of your time too.

You already merged a lot of code but it never gets released. Why?
