UpdateUpdate:

Logged in on my PC and saw there was a notification that my post was unlisted with a 'Click here for more info' link. On that link sites the automated spam detection shown below.

Is there any way for that particular notification to show on the mobile apps as well? I double checked on both the Pixelfed and Pixelix apps, and this notification is not visible on either.

Update:

If I try to edit the post once it's unlisted, and this happens on any edit, I get the following error:

Heck yeah! I noticed a few images not showing originally but it’s coming back. I wonder if Cloudflare had to catch up.

Yup. I’m learning. I’m trying to disconnect from the more centralized “classic” social networks and use Lemmy, Mastodon, and Pixelfed. I’m really enjoying meeting some interesting people and not being bombarded with the typical nonsense you’d see elsewhere. I’ll take for a few hours of downtime for that. 😊

Looks like it’s back up

It's not an uncommon occurrence. Part of being on the fediverse is dealing with instance outages. Sometimes they are communicated, sometimes they're not.

Thanks! Glad it’s just for the patching.

Pixelfed servers are down for a PHP vulnerability and patch. I had to check their account on Mastodon, because I was thinking the same thing.

My wife's biggest complaint about the app is how it would play widescreen videos in your feed by just cutting the sides off. Looks like they finally fixed that!

With address you mean the fediverse handle?

Nope!

Thanks a lot!

Go to Settings -> Content Preferences to enable, and then go back to the home feed and tap the Pixelfed in the top center header

Did you manage to migrate?

Wonderful update!

Where is the global feed?

An amazing update, it looks really good!

Haha I would report betting and casino in an instant, I have zero tolerance for them, So then the mods could decide if it should be removed!

I only follow a few, crochet, gardening, sewing etc. Mostly hobbies. I saw one recently for someone who cleans garden septic tanks.

I was referring more to the public feed. I like to look on there for interesting accounts, im seeing a lot of betting/online casino ones...i am often tempted to report them as spam...but i am not sure if there is a rule about that. I have seen a few tech tech service ones, and generally smaller services/retail (artwork /clothing etc) using it to do promotions.

I am very for from being an expert, only surface level knowledge but to my understanding there is no way to tag your posts that it is an ad, so when you follow a tag I guess you just get all of it.

Out of curiosity what things do you follow where you can find ads?

to be clear, the website also allows you to upload videos and gifs within the file limit if you'd rather use your desktop. This is at least the case for pixelfed.social, I'm not sure if other instances have their own rules / capabilities

I think it may now be possible to upload a combination of stills and animated content into a single post, but I'll need to check that properly.

Okay that solved it, Pixelfed native app could not upload videos but Pixelix did it, thanks!

I just use the web version as a Firefox-powered PWA.

I think the third party app Pixelix allows you to directly upload videos too

e: bear in mind each individual file has a 15 MiB file size upload limit, so you may need a means to compress short videos ahead of time

The mobile app Pixelix has an option to hide sensitive content.

This is exactly what happened. Can you please open global feed and tell if you also see those perfectly normal posts?

Is this a request?
