low-key wanna find a batch of people to fork pixelfed

at the moment, it simply doesn't have the allure of these new apps & platforms sprouting up, there appears to be little desire to collaborate with people with deep industry insight, and aspects i would consider mission critical (e.g. anything related to a seamless transition from Meta products) need serious attention and it just seems that marketability and softening the landing after leaving an ecosystem many of us have spent 20, 50, sometimes even 70% of our lives on is an afterthought

don't get me wrong, i'm still hopeful about the project—and i'm pouring hours into it daily running my own instance—but i do think there needs to be a swift pivot before a entire population jumping ship on Meta picks a different platform altogether and i worry the opportunity could soon be lost

We are making good progress with refactoring Instagram Import to support archives of any age.

The reason we had to temporarily disable it is because Instagram has been purposely changing the schema of exports to make it more difficult for us to process.

We are leveraging some clever techniques to determine the schema for every archive, and look forward to shipping this early next week!

"After a wave of coverage in outlets like Rolling Stone and posts circulating on social media, the bot accounts are just now being noticed, and the reaction is confusion, frustration, and anger."

So this is cool. And by “cool” I mean fucked up & dystopian. Dead internet theory actively pursued as #Meta launched A.I.-generated profiles on #Instagram

#Pixelfed is getting talked about on TikTok as an alternative to #Instagram.

Almost every video about it has people in the comments saying "Why do I have to pick a server? What does that mean?"

Either people are just dumb beyond help, or we need to do better at onboarding people to the #fediverse.

Edit: I love the ideas and discussions this post is stirring up!

By popular demand, a single post to boost global switch day across multiple platforms on February 1st 2025.


For those who can no longer get behind Musk or Meta's new policies and feel like switching (e.g. from #Whatsapp to #Signal, from #Instagram to #Pixelfed or from #X to #Mastodon) I made you some graphics to use freely in communicating with your contacts.

Let’s lead by example 🙂

Il va falloir enchaîner sur un #HelloQuitteMeta parce que le trip trumpiste de Zuckerberg est une abjection. Et "accessoirement" ce n'est pas à un patron américain d'imposer sa loi et sa vision du monde immonde sur l'Internet européen, merci bien.

Hey les Fédicamarades, on a pensé à un plan d'action pour aller fédérer les groupes publics des réseaux propriétaires (IG, FB surtout) ?
Parce que pour les artistes (spectacle ou plastique), les artisan·es ou les assos, je vois quelques motifs rédhibitoires de ne pas partir :
- une communauté acquise au long cours, atteignable sans effort et qu'il serait difficile de déplacer
- le tout petit nombre de gens déjà sur Masto = difficile de trouver un public
- la croyance que c'est "fermé" (alors qu'IG est giga fermé)
- l'interface en "fil" et non en page (donc pas une vitrine cohérente)
