👋 Hey Fediverse!

We're Pixelfed. We help run key #fediverse sites you probably use, like https://fediDB.org and https://fediverse.info.

We're also launching Loops (https://loops.video), a new platform for short video sharing.

To keep these services running and build a better Fediverse, we need your support!

❤️ Donate today: https://pixelfed.org/support-our-project

We just shipped a major update to the https://loops.video website, in preparation for the app release!

We will resume sending account onboarding emails this weekend with everything you need to get started using Loops 🤘

hello https://loops.video!

#loopsByPixelfed

We're about to launch https://loops.video this weekend!

Please consider supporting our projects financially

So we can continue to build amazing experiences and services like Pixelfed, https://fediDB.org, https://fediverse.info, https://pubkit.net, https://loops.video and more!

Donations keep us operational, and keep investors and monetization away!

Unlike some social apps, Pixelfed isn't worried about Apple's changes to contact-sharing permissions.

We don't rely on invasive data practices — our growth is built on privacy, community, and creativity, not your contacts. 📷✨

#PrivacyFirst #Pixelfed

We're improving push notifications to make your experience even better:

- More types of notifications to keep you updated
- Simpler setup for admins
- Direct links from notifications to content in the app
- Support for Android devices

Stay tuned!

Working on some exciting updates! 🎉

Soon we'll auto-detect and let you edit photo metadata like camera model, focal point, and exposure—totally optional and perfect for our pro users.

Plus, with HDR support rolling out soon to everyone, your pics will shine brighter than ever!

Stay tuned! ✨
