Federated Ephemeral Stories, available on Pixelfed!

Coming soon to our mobile apps ✨

#pixelfed #stories

Pixelfed exists today because of @nlnet's vital support since 2019.

Their grants helped build our ethical photo-sharing platform from the ground up.

The EU must continue funding #FreeSoftware projects, as we have proven, they can be hugely popular and shift the control back to the people, where it belongs.

We are doubling the username length limit from 15 to 30, it will be rolling out soon to pixelfed.social and other servers.

Pixelfed embraces open source, every aspect of our platform is licensed under the AGPL.

Beyond that, we are working together with a Pixelfed Fork (aka Pixelfed-Glitch) to better serve our community with a collaborative approach.

Forking is a right everyone has, and it's pretty special that we are able to work in tandem (with PF Glitch) to deliver the best experience to the community, regardless of the source repo.

For more info about their fork:

We updated our Mobile Apps page to list the wonderful 3rd party apps first, and our official apps at the bottom of the page!

Love seeing what our friends at @vernissage are doing!

Multiple creative platforms make the fediverse stronger.

#Fediverse #StrongerTogether

We are working on a fresh new design for Pixelfed, with some customizations to make your experience your own!

Stay tuned.
