what is pixelfed
#
Loqi
PixelFed is open source software for social image sharing of photos and video, similar to Instagram, that interoperates with other sites using several open standards including rel-me and ActivityPub https://indieweb.org/PixelFed

Emphasis on social image sharing ala Instagram. All of the metadata is stripped (e.g. camera data, license info, color profiles, etc.) which may make it not suitable for photography & artwork.

that's interesting toastal, do you have a citation for that that we can add to the PixelFed page to warn people accordingly?

I had an interesting conversation with someone and I think it would be neat to write a physical reference book for something. Next: determine what that _something_ should be.

hm, for not-quite-notifications for streams (more announcements I guess), I wonder if a pinned post with a countdown timer that replaces itself with a link to the stream and then disappears (or turns into a placeholder for a recording if there is one later) would be an option
#
sknebel
(thinking how I could fit that on my site. would be external streams, but same mechanism otherwise)

an approximation would be scheduled posts that also are scheduled to hide, but that woulndt keep a stable post url

[tantek]
pinned posts work on pages (and perhaps in h-feed!) but not "strictly time-ordered" legacy readers
#
sknebel
yeah, in a feed it wouldnt stay on top, thats fine. care mostly about on my website for this I think

presumably "readers" are where people get their push notifications though
#
sknebel
which is why I intentionally said "not-quite-notifications"
