nostr:npub1agvvhgh4rftqgz6230ks6xunsrgpg96prfmuvwuuum8s6jz9ehpq589kcr You need a Pixelfed account yes, but you can keep your Mastodon account too
With two profiles you can like/share/comment on posts from each others platforms, think of it like Twitter and Instagram, they both have different meanings to each person

Heya, is there a reason you've not added the pixelfed app to fdroid?
I'd like to try all those shiny new features, but cannot update the app without Google account...

Pixelfed for iOS users: how can we improve Stories, and what features would you like to see? #askFedi #stories
⚡ Introducing Channels, a new way to engage your audience, inspired by Telegram
We've never launched a new feature on iOS first, and are looking forward to bringing this to Android and web clients
Channels will be rolling out to TestFlight users over the next few days, admins should keep an eye on the server repo 👀
✨ Solo by Pixelfed
We've been secretly building a single user federated photo sharing server (based on Pixelfed), with minimal setup, and built-in import
Solo is simple, download the code, drag your photos to the media directory and open your browser
So simple, yet super smart, Solo won't get in your way, but it will impress

✨ We have an R&D Labs division where nostr:npub12tyk735v52ju032qahe3k2r520jlsujaem6xr8n0ex6u7eqj0anq59vnqc experiments with new ideas and proof of concepts
Most experiments never see the light of day, but some do
We're going to be more open and transparent regarding these experiments as we're testing some on production servers
It's never a boring day at PixelfedHQ 😎
