We will be performing some maintenance this evening to prepare for an exciting new experiment!

We don't expect any downtime.

Did you know you can export your following/follower data?

We're working on more export tools including a full data backup that you can browse offline!

Registration is closed until further notice.

With federation support enabled, we are starting to hit the limits of the server we are on.

The service may be unavailable for a few mins while we deploy updates.

We will be deploying federation support later today, the service may be unavailable during this time. #pixelfed #helloFediverse

You might notice a new storage section in your account settings.

We will be increasing the limit after we migrate to object storage.

Some of you may notice your usage decrease in the next few weeks as we implement new storage optimizations. If you have reached your limit, please DM us and we can increase it.

Due to a bug in registration code, we had to change the usernames of 19 users.

We had to do this before federation support is launched to prevent other implementations (ie: Mastodon) from rejecting profiles with invalid usernames.

We apologize for the inconvenience, if you are affected and do not like your new username please email hello@pixelfed.org from the email you signed up with and your top 3 desired usernames.

We want to remind users that account deletion is not possible until full federation support lands.

We need to delete your account from the fediverse rather than just pixelfed.social because we've supported partial federation since July.

@test Nice post! :blobcatsurprised:

As our instance grows, we will need to find more moderators to help us moderate the site.

We currently have 822 Monthly Active Users and two mods @dansup and @veb.

We will post more information, including how to apply in the next few days.

We will be performing maintenance on pixelfed.social between 12-3pm MST on December 12 (about 13-16 hours from now). The service may be unavailable during that period.

We have opened registration for the next 2 hours.

The service is temporarily unavailable while we deploy some updates.

Friendly reminder: We ask users to use a content warning for sensitive content including nudity.

Please report any applicable posts as sensitive content so mods can handle it! Thank-you.

PSA: If you signed up with a Microsoft email (Outlook/Hotmail) and have not received your verification email please DM us with your username and email address and we can manually verify your account.

Our IP has been temporarily rate limited by outlook, working on getting a dedicated IP so this doesn't happen in the future.

The pixelfed.social service is in maintenance mode while we prepare to deploy major updates. We don't have an ETA yet, will keep you posted.
