Reporting problematic posts or comments should be easy

And having the ability to hide specific comments on your own post is an essential safety feature

This is why we're making reports easier, and working on federated comment controls

After all, you deserve more control over your posts and comment sections, and we're going to show you how it can be done ✨

We're aware of some issues in our Account Migration feature that prevents a proper migration.

We're working on a fix, and will update you when we ship the fix!

Just finished adding like, reply, and report features to comments in the new Pixelfed app!

I’m proud of the progress I’m making, just a few lil things to wrap up before it’s ready for the beta release 😁

(Then I can get back to Groups, Loops, PubKit and Sup)

Yes our new open source Pixelfed app will support Android, and all the features from iOS like Share Intents.

It already does ✨

Oh man, the new Pixelfed app keeps getting better and better!

I’m now finishing up Push Notifications support, which is the most requested feature besides share intents (which I shipped earlier tonight)

Not only is it fast, lightweight and open source, but also packed with many long overdue features like Push Notifications 😎

It’s everything you wanted, plus more ✨

@brunomiguel @dansup @fdroidorg Yes!

We have our own F-Droid repo, but we plan to submit our app to the official one now that it's fully open source and AGPL licensed!

I think I've missed a setting somewhere, is there a place in the current Android App to show the full image in-feed (without clicking), or is that coming down the line in the future? 🤔

Noticed today that some of the tight frames, or especially tall/long shots, get 'cropped' in the feed-view - although are still fully intact if you click on them .

If this is necessary for app limitations, could we have an icon display in the corner as an indicator to "click for full view" ?

Something I should add to the GitHub?

Screengrab of same post viewed in timeline with web ui, and full image visible in timeline view
Screengrab if tall/vertical post with top and bottom missing in timeline view, but fully intact if clicked on.
Screengrab of same vertical/tall photo after clicking on it to view full image.

(I'm thinking about emoji reactions to livestreams, audio, and video content)

One more thing, we'll make it easy for admins to enforce this by adding new reporting and moderation features to catch repeat offenders and monitor potential offenders with ease

We will get this done properly, and will be requesting your feedback once we ship the initial version ✨

We do honour requests from remote servers to delete accounts, but sometimes it does not happen as expected.

So we're building a feature to automate this process so anyone can easily purge their old deleted account from any Pixelfed instance ✨

@vertana Can you explain? We think you are confused about this will work.

Due to losing control of our Matrix channel, we are officially moving over to Discord for now.

It's a shame, but we can't properly moderate our Matrix, so we can no longer recommend it.

https://discord.gg/MHvDHaSzmc

pixelfed OP ,
@pixelfed@mastodon.social avatar

@Mrfunkedude The channel was originally created by someone else and I was added as admin through Freenode and over time for whatever reason I was stripped of my admin powers.

It's not really a dramatic story, I don't have time to wait for it to be fixed, as someone reached out months ago from Matrix side, nothing was ever done.

Okay, so, remember how I had some big news? Well, I didn't get to announce it yesterday as I was unwell (I've been unwell most of the month and could really do with extra financial support right now!)

The big news is that my FIRES project has been granted funding by NLNet (@NGIZero)

What is FIRES? It's a project I've been slowly working since September last year, and provides a server for maintaining and distributing moderation advisories and recommendations.

If you're an ordinary Mastodon user, the "block domain" option does not block servers, it just mutes them. It hides their posts from you, but does not hide your posts from them.

Only server admins can do actual blocks through defederation, preferably on a server that has activated "authorized fetch".

For example, if you want to avoid threads.net, you need to join a server that has defederated threads.net. (You can find nice servers that block threads.net at https://fedi.garden)
