If you've tried to send a DM on Pixelfed and you get an error message saying "You need to wait a bit before you can DM another account", don't worry. Your DMs will start working 72 hours after you've joined a server, and the error message will stop appearing.

Apparently this was introduced to stop spammers, although since then other anti-spam measures have been introduced and there's some discussion that it might be removed.

#Pixelfed #PixelfedTips #FediTips

Screenshot of an error message from Pixelfed that reads "Error - you need to wait a bit before you can DM another account" along with the caption "Are you seeing this error when sending a DM? It will go away 72 hours after you've joined your server. (It's there to stop spammers.)"

I've been asked if Mastodon users can see Pixelfed posts, so here's a post from Moxxi's #Pixelfed account! Yes, you can follow this one as well as the Mastodon account. It'll have different content but I won't post daily like on #Mastodon

Moxxi the corgi is on top of a chunk of snow and ice. She's looking down at the camera. She's wearing a green jacket. An overlay text reads
Mastodon users can follow Pixelfed users
Everyone can follow #DogsOfMastodon and #DogsOfPixelfed

We're about to see so many good dogs

Groups are not new to Pixelfed, we have webUI support but the feature wasn't polished enough for use, until now ✨

Groups will be compatible with Lemmy, Mbin, Smithereen and other projects, and will resemble Facebook Groups in our official app!

Stay tuned, we'll be shipping the updated Groups support in the app and webUI this weekend 🚀

There is no algorithm on Pixelfed, it's entirely up to you to decide what goes in your timeline. One of the best ways to fill your timeline with stuff you're interested in is to follow hashtags:

1. Search for a hashtag remembering to include # at the beginning
2. Choose the hashtag you want from the list of suggestions
3. Click the "Follow" button at the top

Once you've followed a hashtag, posts with that hashtag will gradually start to appear in your timeline even if you don't follow the person who made it.

If you want to keep track of your followed hashtags go to Account Settings > Relationships > Hashtags

Screenshot of Pixelfed web interface showing the search results for the hashtag #BreadPosting with lots of photos of various kinds of bread. There is a caption saying "How to fill your timeline with fun: 1. Search for hashtags 2. Click follow".

Imagine being able to use our app with your @Mastodon account.

During an internal pre-hackathon, our team member @trwnh came up with this idea.

Shipping soon ✨

If you love #Pixelfed as much as I do, you’ll love this Surf feed. It’s a great way to discover new photographers to follow there. Adding more all the time.

I've been asked the same questions a few times, so in response to people's questions about #pixelfed :

Q.Why bother to have a separate Pixelfed account when you already have a federated Mastodon account?

A. I use this primary account as a space to blow off steam, relax, direct the busyness in my mind (which usually comes out as a tidal wave of nonsense and silliness) and also as my beloved Fedi community. I really like the idea of there being a different space where I can be a bit more serious and don't feel the compulsion to turn everything into a joke. I'd like the space to post images I find poignant or beautiful without my usual brand of chaotic madness. And I find posting photos more of an *at* rather than a *with* engagement. 😊

Q. Why post your images online where they're available to be scraped?

A. It's a choice. Whilst I'm obviously not keen on scrapers, the only alternative seems to be to live in fear of them so not to post publicly. Which I am not going to do. I was told recently some of my posts are making their way to Bluesky without me. Whilst I choose not to engage in that platform I've set up a mirror account there so that people can at least reference who I am back at my Fedi home accounts.

Please feel free to ask any other questions and I will happily respond here. Vive la Fedi. 😊

Has anyone found a #pixelfed client for iOS that supports adding a location?
Not even the official app does 🫠

If you're wanting to join Pixelfed, you don't have to join pixelfed.social. There are other Pixelfed servers you can join instead, which will help spread the load and keep the network safe from being taken over.

For example here are three Pixelfed servers that have reliable people running them:

https://pixelfed.de
https://pixey.org
https://gram.social

There are even more listed on the official Pixelfed website at https://pixelfed.org/servers

Thank you

I've been adding #pixelfed support to #fedicat by looking at the source for their new app to see what API they're using.

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 🙂
