That modern UI addon looks pretty cool but doesn’t work for me despite running 0.18.2.
Do you have to get your instance manually added for support?

Thanks! It’s nice to get a little recognition for putting in the work 😎
Damn. The app situation has improved so dramatically over the last month!
Congrats on your promotion to a 1! You earned it (by posting).
From my understanding peertube has less restrictions of content compared with youtube.
It would depend on the PeerTube instance you join.
Meh. Sounds like a bunch of tankie bullshit.
Yes and no. And verifying by domain is better, especially for people who are likely to be impersonated (ex. Journalists).
Rel=“me” doesn’t actually verify a user’s identity, it verifies that a user has a relationship with a website. The problem is that you need to leave Mastodon to make sure that the website actually verifies their identity. I’ve verified a connection between a Mastodon and Pixelfed account, for example, but it doesn’t tell you anything about who I am. It’s also much easier to spoof a website than it is to get the BBC to give you an account on their private instance.
It really works great the other way though! If you have a known identity here, you can be sure that the linked sites are legit.
It also solves the verification problem. It’s without a doubt the best way to go for an organization - especially news orgs.
omg yessssss
Love it!
Added bonus: people won’t think they’re being invited to quickbooks.social anymore ;)
Me too! And stoked to see if they actually make calckey.social magically transform into whatever [newthing].social is!
I used firefox and didn’t have a problem. I’d double check that you grabbed the JSON archive from IG. You should contact Dansup though because it should be working. I think there might be “contact admin” link on the upload page.
I think it just comes down to what you said: do you really want an experience like IG? If you’re a hard no, it’s probably not for you. I was kind of in the same place as you re: IG. Looking at my IG feed it’s about 50% recommended and promoted. So half my feed is what Meta wants me to see. It sucks now and I was over it. But a version of that without ads or algorithms is honestly pretty great – and I was skeptical of that until I tried it. I mean, IG has higher engagement than any network except TikTok, so it’s a format that people seem to like. They just hate the Meta part :)
I don’t think it takes away from Mastodon at all though. Like, I’m using Calckey which is very similar to Masto (and being renamed in literally 40 minutes) and it’s not harming the community at all. I think Pixelfed will probably be the thing that makes people realize how powerful the Fediverse is. To most people, being able to communicate between, say, Masto and Misskey probably just seems like having different clients. But the idea that you could communicate with all of Facebook and Twitter from an IG account is kind of mindblowing.
Have you contacted your admin? It should be working. I imported like 800 photos from IG on pixelfed.social a few days ago.
It’s mostly just media first but there are a few features that don’t federate. Portfolios and stories are exclusive to pixelfed. And even if you just want to scroll a bunch of photos there just isn’t a better way. They have the best Fediverse app I’ve ever used and the experience is great because it was designed specifically for that purpose.
Not that there’s anything wrong with not seeing the appeal. The best thing about the Fediverse is that you can just be wherever you want. So you can post on Mastodon and follow whoever you want on Pixelfed too without having to make another account.
No problem! Cheers :)
FediDB tracks server software across the Fediverse. They track activity and overall ‘market share,’ which I think is what you’re looking for.
They’re also tracking the Threadiverse specifically.
