[…]

All those long nights working on backend scalability and performance improvements are about to be put to the test

I wasn’t anticipating this attention for a few more months, but I’m ready 😎

That’s great and all, but after you move, how do you get anyone at all to look at it?

Same way you get someone to bother with Instagram. Uhhh… “somehow.”

Has this actually worked for anyone? I click on Review Uploads and the website either crashed or nothing happens.

I’ve been posting on pixelfed.social but haven’t had much interaction, but maybe this will get the word out a bit.

All my pictures are of outside activities, figured maybe someday someone local may see then interact outside as well.

The photo app that is terrible at telling me what is NSFW and what isn’t.

Literally, I had a picture on Pixelfed that was marked NSFW and opening it revealed a fucking tree.

Then I scroll down and I think, “oh it is another NSFW tree.” No it was an image of two people fucking." I don’t care if there is porn but the algorithm to determine what porn is on Pixelfed is shit. Make it work better or just give me a damn toggle to turn it all off.

Isn’t it the user who decides if their photo is marked as sensitive?

Yes it is the user who toggles whether their posts are NSFW or not. Clearly OP here is just repeating something they thought they heard and has no experience in using pixelfed.

Ideally there should be no algorithm for this stuff but it would make moderation harder

Ok, yet another fediverse copy of a previous app where none of the people/things I want to follow are at…at least Mastodon has bird.makeup which clones twitter accounts so I can still see the people I follow who don’t use Mastodon.

Does Pixelfed have a version of that for Instagram?

Just use Instagram? You can’t engage with Fediverse clone accounts.

I don’t care too much about interacting overall. Guess I will just stick with Insta

I mean yeah, at this point people are here on Fediverse out of principle, not content. It’s like complaining why there are no scrappy reality dating shows on PBS, it’s missing the point.
