54% of pixelfed.social users have not posted anything.

With the huge v0.8.0 release launching soon, we think that number will go down! #pixelfed

We just learned that pix.hostux.social has shut down.

We are sad to hear that, we have re-opened registrations in case any users want to join a reliable instance!

PSA: If you want to report any pixelfed.social user or post please DM this account.

Pixelfed doesn't support federated reports yet and we would prefer to work with remote admins and users to resolve any issues before resorting to block our instance!

We are almost at 5k users, just a reminder we will be closing registrations permanently after we reach 10k users.

We are experiencing a surge in traffic since we enabled federation support.

4x the normal levels on average, we will be moving to a dedicated server in the next few weeks.

@y We have resolved the issue, thanks for reporting it to us!

@y Hi, we don't block any country and are investigating this issue.

We fixed a profile photo bug that affected some browsers. If you still have a problem changing it, please let us know!

Registration is closed until further notice.

With federation support enabled, we are starting to hit the limits of the server we are on.

The service may be unavailable for a few mins while we deploy updates.

We will be deploying federation support later today, the service may be unavailable during this time. #pixelfed #helloFediverse

You might notice a new storage section in your account settings.

We will be increasing the limit after we migrate to object storage.

Some of you may notice your usage decrease in the next few weeks as we implement new storage optimizations. If you have reached your limit, please DM us and we can increase it.

Due to a bug in registration code, we had to change the usernames of 19 users.

We had to do this before federation support is launched to prevent other implementations (ie: Mastodon) from rejecting profiles with invalid usernames.

We apologize for the inconvenience, if you are affected and do not like your new username please email hello@pixelfed.org from the email you signed up with and your top 3 desired usernames.

We want to remind users that account deletion is not possible until full federation support lands.

We need to delete your account from the fediverse rather than just pixelfed.social because we've supported partial federation since July.

@test Nice post! :blobcatsurprised:

As our instance grows, we will need to find more moderators to help us moderate the site.

We currently have 822 Monthly Active Users and two mods @dansup and @veb.

We will post more information, including how to apply in the next few days.

We will be performing maintenance on pixelfed.social between 12-3pm MST on December 12 (about 13-16 hours from now). The service may be unavailable during that period.

We have opened registration for the next 2 hours.

The service is temporarily unavailable while we deploy some updates.
