I get that Pixelfed can be seen by some as "unfinished" or "missing features" but consider this, most feature requests have been implemented, some of the big ones:
- Photo filters (web + app)
- Official Mobile app
- Spam mitigation (Autospam)
- MastoAPI support (you can use any mastodon app with Pixelfed)
- Account Migration
- Hashtag Following
- Domain Blocks
- Federated Stories
- Disabled Comments
- Curated Onboarding
- Live streaming
- Admin Invites
We listen, and we ship 🚀
We're aware of Meta/Instagrams new policies around AI and the desire for artists, photogs and other creatives to migrate to another platform!
Our new mobile app is officially submitted for App Review, and we look forward to it finally being on the App Store ✨
An open source/self hosted and federated Tik-Tok alternative, made by @pixelfed has just successfully tested federation!
If you applied to join, expect an invite within the next week! ✨
(We will be open sourcing the mobile app and backend later this summer)
I've written a bit of an extensive guide on navigating ActivityPub and its many apps, and instances, along with some initial questions new users might have, and links to mobile apps.

Just a note saying how my #Fediverse experience has been made immeasurably richer for being able to take in & engage w/ carefully curated #Threads users, #BlueSky bridged users, #WordPress ActivityPub enabled blogs, #Flipboard Federated accounts, bridged #Podcast episodes, #PixelFed photos, & Peertube videos. All from one Mastodon account.
I'm grateful for the moderation tools to mute, block and curate all of this, and the Mastodon lists to make them all digestable and not just info overload.

Artists, creatives and photogs of the fediverse:
The upcoming @pixelfed app will be shipping with a surprise feature we think you'll love.
It will bring the community together in a unique and fun way 😉

ICYMI: yesterday I published the 6th post in my series #TheFutureIsFederated, showing how interoperability works between #Mastodon & #Pixelfed. In short: it feels like magic 🪄✨
An excerpt:
« The Fediverse has so much potential and is so much more sophisticated than anything made available by Meta, TikTok and X. But more importantly: not only is it technically superior, it is also ethical and user-centric. »
I'm working on a new post for #TheFutureIsFederated that aims to show what interoperability looks like on the #Fediverse.
As I said before, it feels like ✨ magic ✨
I logged in @phanpy for the first time using my @pixelfed credentials and I used its incredible catch-up feature to see posts I had missed. Mind = blown 🤯 😍
Blog post coming by the end of the week, in the meantime you can read previous issues and subscribe here: https://blog.elenarossini.com/tag/fediverse/#post-list
Working on dark mode support in the @pixelfed app.
Luckily, I've implemented backend support for first + 3rd party app settings sync, meaning Pixelfed will remember your preference (auto, light or dark) even if you log out or uninstall the app, or log in on another device.
Hello fediverse!
I need your help to feature all of the amazing services that are part of the #ActivityPub realm.
What are some of your favorite ActivityPub handles to follow on #Funkwhale, #Peertube, #Pixelfed, #Bookwyrm, #Wordpress, #Truefans, #Castopod, #Akkoma, #Friendica, #Lemmy and others?
Your replies will be categorized by @jejord, @AileenLalor, @miaq and @marci so that we can feature these accounts to our Flipboard users and work to ensure they render properly on Flipboard.
I'm excited to help evangelize the many great projects here and advocate for their adoption and funding.
