https://fantastic.earth is growing, literally. After running on a small 4 GB server for two years, we have recently migrated to a 64 GB server. Now we can host even more services for our members. We currently run these services:

- #Mastodon (Microblogging)
- #Pixelfed (Image posting)
- #Bookwyrm (Book reading tracking)
- #Miniflux + #Feedlynx (Feed reading + Read-later bookmarking)
- #Nextcloud (Office suite and cloud storage)

Our server is paid and invite-only. If you know any existing members personally, and would like to use well-moderated and fast services, please reach out to them for an invite.

We are making good progress with refactoring Instagram Import to support archives of any age.

The reason we had to temporarily disable it is because Instagram has been purposely changing the schema of exports to make it more difficult for us to process.

We are leveraging some clever techniques to determine the schema for every archive, and look forward to shipping this early next week!

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

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 🚀

#pixelfed

After contemplating for a while on whether to set up an own #Pixelfed instance or not, just go with a separate "photos only" account on my GtS instance ... I stumbled upon this blog post from @box464 about how to #slurp all your photos from Pixelfed to GtS.

https://box464.com/posts/gotosocial-slurp/

This seemed to me like it's the best idea as I never liked this separation of bubbles and having to boost my Pixelfed posts for my followers here to see them.

So, I've used my already setup local Pixelfed instance to import everything from my old Instagram account and then slurped that to here. After that, I've then slurped everything from my pixelfed.social account to here as well. Everything under one roof - I like it.

Also, as mentioned in that blog post, there's @impressia (for iOS) which can give a Pixelfed-like experience with basically any Mastodon-like account.

#ownyourdata #mastodonmerge #profilemerge

After weeks of broken CI, I fixed it ✨

Feels amazing to be working on @pixelfed again.

No more teasing features or promised updates, I will only share new features or updates after they have been shipped/deployed.

Hope you have a great day 😁

Pixelfed + modern design = 🔥

‘#OpenSource And #Ethical’ #TikTok, #WhatsApp And #Instagram Alternatives Could Transform #SocialMedia

from #Forbes
ByEsat Dedezade, Contributor.

[a very well-written article with a favorable yet realistic angle on the #Fediverse]

"At the heart of these alternative apps lies the Fediverse platform — a portmanteau of "federated" and "universe" that represents a radical reimagining of how social media can work. Unlike traditional platforms where users are locked into isolated ecosystems, the Fediverse operates as an interconnected network of independent servers that communicate with each other through a standard protocol called #ActivityPub."

Besides the dozens of #mastodon apps on the #AppStore I've found seven #lemmy apps, four #pixelfed apps, and two #neodb apps!

🌈 Coming soon!

I’m working on a “Join the Fediverse” sicker, I love that I've been able to create something with bright colours, and a message close to my heart.

It's not in production just yet, but it’s almost there.

Would you rock one of these? Drop a boost or reply!

FediThreat is now deployed ✨

We're testing with pixelfed.social and will open it up to other servers early next week, with a public launch in July 🚀

https://fedithreat.net/

#fediThreat #pixelfed

Hello World!

I just spoke with a #US #Senator office about the #fediverse . They're asking for more information to help spread around #Capital #Hill in small bite sized easy to understand pieces. I'm obviously going to give them @elena beautiful #movie on the #fedi (with some light editing which she's agreed to).

I'll of course show them https://fediverse.info/ and https://fedi.tips/ which are great websites. I figured I'd give them examples of amazing #AP projects such as #mastodon , #pixelfed , #peertube , #bandwagon , and #bonfire ; even things like @admin .

I'd love to know from folks any EASY to understand projects that best encompass the Fediverse and explanations of it.

What are some projects you'd hand to your friends and family that would explain and display to them what we are?

I'll say this isn't going to happen over night. There's lot of questions around regulations, trust & safety, etc. But I feel it's pertinent to at least get the conversation going, especially considering the current state of disdain for big social media and the impending legislation around these things.

I'll finally state if there's anyone in this list that does NOT want to be involved with this, that's totally fine and I understand and I can exclude you from the materials I give to them.

#boost #boostplease #government #laws #activityPub

@benpate @peertube @bonfire
@stefano @dansup @Mastodon

✨ Not released yet, but testing a new sticker design:
“Find me on the Fediverse” with a custom @username@domain.
It's made for IRL visibility - laptops, tables at events, or just vibing in a café.
Thoughts? Boost if you’d want one when they drop!
