Oh! This is new (picture-in-picture) on Mastodon, right @Gargron ?

@Gargron this is a valid reason not to have a Threads account and just keep using Mastodon 🙂

@Gargron that lens is absolutely fantastic! I’ve used it with multiple digital cameras (5D and 6D mk II) and it has a peculiar vibe and bokeh. Congratulations for the picture too!

@Gargron is there a way (an API? An info on the server status page?) to see the percentage / number of users who opted in? Thanks

@pixelfed @dansup I’m aware of how a website works, thanks 😉

Sharing my IP address (which I can decide to hide) is not the same as sharing the exact username of a person who viewed a post.

Also: trusting the host is not the same as trusting an author.

The thing that a story author should be entitled to know exactly who their audience is, it’s highly debatable.

This is another good reason (at least for me) to keep stories entirely disabled.

But thanks anyway for clarifying your position.

@dansup @pixelfed that's one of the things I hate most about Instagram.

No other social platform lets you see who viewed your posts. This is something anti privacy.

At least the user should have a right to opt-out. One reason more to keep stories disabled.

Please reconsider introducing this anti privacy feature 🙏🏻

@Gargron will ever be possible in the future to at least know the percentage of users who opted in for the full text search?

@Gargron out of curiosity: do current third party clients need to do anything particular to fetch results (like using a specific API) or is it all server based and normal search is fine? Thanks

@dansup @pixelfed these types of "polls" have always been highly biased.

People are more likely to "like" a post (which doesn't affect their timeline) than repost/retweet (which will appear in their timeline)

@dansup @pixelfed any plans to allow multiple photos selection when creating a post?

@dansup what’s the issue if a user sign up to multiple instances? I personally wouldn’t do it, but I can’t understand the problem with a user doing it

@dansup @pixelfed thanks for your reply and your hard work 🙌

I asked because I couldn’t find the answer anywhere else (and if it’s on Mastodon, you know that text search is quite bad).

I can’t wait for it to be open to external contributors 🚀

While I love new features, I wish @pixelfed @dansup "fixed" this issue first https://github.com/pixelfed/mobile-app/issues/31

The question has been there for months and the author has never replied to it.

@dansup I think you are still the best person to lead the project.

At the same time, more people could be involved if all the source code was available (ie: the source code of the mobile app and those additional websites)

@dansup is it currently possible to migrate (including all posts, likes, comments etc...) from a Pixelfed server to another?

@dansup @pixelfed will you finally open source it?

@dansup @pixelfed any chance you are going to start at least coding the mobile app in the open? (which means you don't have to actively manage and accept external contribution if you don't want or have time to, but of course it would be even better if you could)

Thanks

@dansup @pixelfed hi Daniel, since I upgraded to the latest version on iOS, my notifications list is empty. I remember I could see old notifications in the past versions. Is it a known bug? Thanks

@fediversereport @spreadmastodon why does FindMyFriends need write access to my posts?

@Gargron @dimillian not sure if related, but the web version of Mastodon also is not refreshing/updating with new posts anymore. I have to reload the browser page. Even the house icon remains black.
