We're working on extending our Autospam detection system to incoming and outgoing federated activities!

Currently it only targets local public posts, but not for long!

YSK: Pixelfed instances can now apply for Push Notification Gateway access!

https://docs.pixelfed.org/running-pixelfed/push-notifications.html#instance-approval-and-api-key-requirement

We've served thousands of push notifications from several servers already.

We're incredibly proud to stand alongside the Social Web Foundation as a launch partner.

This is a huge step towards a more open, decentralized internet, and we're thrilled to be a part of it.

We just shipped partial Account Migration support!

This means:

- You can migrate from other servers to Pixelfed
- Accounts that migrate between servers will be updated (even if you mute/block them)

We say partial, because we are missing one final piece to support outbound migration to Pixelfed, Mastodon or other platforms.

That final piece will be shipping later today!

We're working on some exciting new photography updates:

- Bigger Resolution (4K -> 8K)
- Resumable uploads (via webUI)
- Native AVIF, HEIC, WEBP support
- HDR support
- Preserve ICC profiles + EXIF
- New Compose UI
- Improved Location tagging
- New AI labelling + Anti-AI features

And much more!

We're eager to ship this massive update and gather feedback on how we can make our platform even better for novice to pro photographers!

That's the real magic of the fediverse: control.

Mastodon and Pixelfed openly list 3rd-party apps/clients.

What other industry sees this level of collaboration between 'competitors'?
