Tonight, on John Oliver's Last Week Tonight, #Mastodon and #PixelFed got a call out for not falling in line with Trump and as an alternative to Meta products.

The 4 main apps in the Fediverse to replace all the apps we want to boycott. #tiktokrefugee #pixelfed #peertube #lemmy #loops
When I opened up Lemmy this morning I could not believe my eyes. The top story was a headline from Forbes stating:
« ‘Open Source And Ethical’ TikTok, WhatsApp And Instagram Alternatives Could Transform Social Media ».
The article mostly focused on #Pixelfed and did a fairly good job explaining how #ActivityPub works. But they spelled #Mastodon « Mastadon » over and over again with no links to it. Yikes.
B for the effort, but please editors do better!
This past week I have heard the same question thrown around over and over again: "what's the point of setting up a #Pixelfed account if the software is interoperable with the rest of the Fediverse? Why not just post photos on Mastodon or Sharkey or __?"
Well, #Pixelfed allows you to have a beautiful, curated feed of your photos.

2️⃣ the way my #Mastodon feed appears on Pixelfed
as evidence.
Thank you @dansup for giving us an awesome Fedi photo platform 🙏

✨ Pixelix update 3.4 is out now! 🚀
This is a pretty exciting release with many new features:
🎨 We migrated to a new icon set, giving Pixelix a whole new style.
➕ The "create new post" button is now in the navigation bar, making it just one tap away no matter where you are right now.
🎯 Introducing "Focus Mode" – hide descriptions, like counts, and buttons to unclutter your timeline.
📣 Happy #GlobalSwitchDay to all the brave frontrunners out there!
For whom February 1st came a little too soon, don't worry! Just try again on March 1st and celebrate Zero Discrimination Day in the beautiful #fediverse. Alternatively, you can switch on April 1st, as only fools stay behind ;) or join your friends on May 1st and put your ideals to work.
Help spread the word.

John Oliver's Last Week Tonight mentions #Mastodon and #PixelFed as alternatives that are "not as desperate to fall in line with trump".

Incredibly proud of the rapid progress we are making with @PixelFed 🚀

🚀 Hello everyone!
We are working on something pretty exciting. We want to bring Pixelix to Apple devices! Exactly the same app with same functionality, same design and running natively on iOS (Made possible by Kotlin Multiplatform for those who know).
But for that we need to buy at least one MacBook. 💻 (2/4) ->

Light, Dark, Slate or Pink?
Which is your favourite new theme that is now available on our app?

Ei lindes, qual a opinião das instâncias que vcs estão usando do #pixelFed?? Queria usar alguma brasileira, mas parece ainda pequenas e não sei se lá permite explorar outras instâncias como aqui no #mastodon (tipo seguir outras timelines etc).
Stories are coming to our Pixelfed app, and they are AMAZING!
Not everyone likes them, and they can hide them if they prefer.
But for the rest of us, you will get all the familiar features like Story Reactions, Comments and even who viewed your story/view counts.
Pixelfed Starter Kits, build a collection of accounts and hashtags and send the link or email to your friends!
When they join, they will automatically follow those accounts and hashtags.
Available soon ✨

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!
