For Global Accessibility Awareness Day we are launching a new settings page that lists all of your media without alt text, so you can easily update any missing alt text in a single, easy to remember place.

You can also enable the Require Media Descriptions setting in Settings -> Media.

Coming soon: A complete redesign.

We've scrapped our old web UI and started fresh to bring you what matters - faster loading, cleaner design, and a photo experience that just makes sense (finally!).

Stay tuned ✨

Starting today, photos you share to pixelfed.social* may look brighter or more vibrant, as we now preserve ICC color profiles 🥳

:pixelfed: Server Directory 2.0 is here! 🚀

We completely rebuilt our server directory for a better community finding experience:

✅ Rich server cards with location, user counts and more
✅ Improved filtering with better visibility
✅ Optimized crawling with 2-hour refresh rate (fixed the visibility delays!)
✅ Enhanced UI with improved colors and text legibility

We are doing some maintenance to pixelfed.social, it will return soon!

We will delete this post and make a new one when it returns ✨

7 years ago today @dansup started writing the first lines of code of what would become Pixelfed.

From that open-source spark to a thriving photo-sharing community connected to millions across the fediverse.

All without surveillance or algorithms controlling what you see.

Here's to 7 years of putting people before profit.

🎉 🥳

Custom Filters are now available! 🥳

You can now set keyword filters to blur, warn or hide posts that match, across home + public + hashtag feeds!

These are based on the Mastodon v2 Filters API, and should be compatible with 3rd party apps.

Our official app does not properly handle blur or warn context types, but soon will.

#pixelfed #customFilters

This week we're rolling out Filters - our most requested feature!

You'll be able to hide content with specific keywords across your entire Pixelfed experience.

We added this because everyone deserves a social space that feels welcoming and comfortable.

Can't wait to hear what you think! ✨

We're working on Custom Filters and a new AI generated content label, allowing you to easily filter out all AI content from feeds, explore and notifications, quite easily.

We're doing some maintenance to pixelfed.social, it will return shortly!

We now have an official account on BlueSky!

Follow us https://bsky.app/profile/pixelfedapp.bsky.social and join us in expanding the fediverse.

Come say hi! 👋

#pixelfed #bluesky

Stories are coming soon to our official app!

The best part?

They are federated, so you can view/react/comment on Stories from friends on other servers.

Stay tuned ✨

@apps We're using the MastoAPI

https://github.com/pixelfed/pixelfed-rn/blob/main/src/lib/api.ts#L247

We added an update checker that displays this warning to admin accounts when a security release is available.

It's been available for a while, so you should see this warning if you're running an outdated server!
