The new @pixelfed web design I've been working on is so much better in every way.

@themelissadamas @pixelfed log out, then log back in.

this will be fixed in the next app update!

[themelissadamas@mastodon.social]

@dansup @pixelfed will do, thank you!

[worldruined@mastodon.social]

@jill

agreed. I'm not interested in those being pushed on me, either.

[hiphopheaven@mastodon.social]

@ronvanderende @dansup @pixelfed how about the user deciding how they want to view it? I hate masonry

[sharan@metalhead.club]

@dansup Excellent, as always.

[eobet@oldbytes.space]

@dansup @pixelfed but still using Mastodon's old image resolution limitations from several years ago?

[ronvanderende@mastodon.nl]

@hiphopheaven @dansup @pixelfed then you switch to squares.

[scottytrees@mastodon.social]

@dansup but how many people are actually going to use this?

[sturmsucht@mastodon.social]

@ronvanderende @dansup @pixelfed

What Ron said. Masonry is a must have.

[worldruined@mastodon.social]

@ronvanderende

artists should be able to set their preferred/default layout for their own profiles. sometimes they would like their art to be viewed a certain way, if possible!

if followers want to manually override that (maybe they can have an option to "always" override any profile layout, as well as a temporary override toggle), that's fine. but I do think artists should be given the choice to control their profile, at least for the initial viewing.

@kanary @dansup @pixelfed I’d go so far as to say that with all that vertical space, it might be better to simply have the full logo+name, like:

PixelFed

Or you could even have the instance URL there!

[moshimotsu@floss.social]

@dansup @pixelfed This is looking sweet! And say what you will about rounded corners, I think they look very nice.

Do you know if there’ll be settings for instance admins to style their instance? Whether it be through color schemes, or specific icons, etc?

[moshimotsu@floss.social]

@eobet @dansup @pixelfed What’s this in reference to?

[moshimotsu@floss.social]

@dansup @pixelfed Oh, and please be doubly-sure that your website is fully screen-reader accessible! I remember your mobile app having lots of screen reader labels. Missing accessibility features are bugs!

I think the American Foundation for the Blind does consulting for web apps on what they need to do to improve accessibility.

@dansup @pixelfed Easier SignIn/LogIn?

[eobet@oldbytes.space]

@moshimotsu @dansup @pixelfed Pixelfed's image size limit is still 2MP, while Mastodon raised theirs to 8MP three years ago. So being an image oriented platform while having worse image quality than a regular social media platform is a bit weird...

[sourdoughstereo@mastodon.social]

@dansup @themelissadamas @pixelfed I logged out, but now I’m only able to log in with another account on the same instance. How do I get my initial account back?

[sourdoughstereo@mastodon.social]

@dansup @pixelfed Found out how to do it

[worldruined@mastodon.social]

...just realized it's because Instagram looks exactly like that. orz

not everything has to be a direct one-to-one copy! it's okay to make changes and improve and be a little unique! ugh...

[moshimotsu@floss.social]

@eobet @dansup @pixelfed Oh shoot, didn’t know this!

Could this be affected by PixelFed’s much larger photo limit per post? I think on PF you can upload up to (and perhaps more than) 10 pictures, whereas on Masto it only goes up to 4. In megapixels, Masto does still win, but I figure this might be something that still requires the server to be more prudent with per-photo file sizes.
