<p>the <a href="/tags/pixelfed/" rel="tag">#pixelfed</a> surge also means a bigger <a href="/tags/php/" rel="tag">#php</a> footprint in the <a href="/tags/fediverse/" rel="tag">#fediverse</a></p>

<p>12 issues regarding the <a href="/tags/pixelix/" rel="tag">#Pixelix</a> app were opened today.

If you&#x27;ve tried to send a DM on Pixelfed and you get an error message saying &quot;You need to wait a bit before you can DM another account&quot;, don&#x27;t worry. Your DMs will start working 72 hours after you&#x27;ve joined a server, and the error message will stop appearing.<br><br>Apparently this was introduced to stop spammers, although since then other anti-spam measures have been introduced and there&#x27;s some discussion that it might be removed.<br><br><a href="/tags/pixelfed/" rel="tag">#Pixelfed</a> <a href="/tags/pixelfedtips/" rel="tag">#PixelfedTips</a> <a href="/tags/feditips/" rel="tag">#FediTips</a>

<p>adding more <a href="/tags/pixelfed/" rel="tag">#Pixelfed</a> trends (they have time ranges for trending posts)</p>

I&#x27;ve been asked if Mastodon users can see Pixelfed posts, so here&#x27;s a post from Moxxi&#x27;s <a href="/tags/pixelfed/" rel="tag">#Pixelfed</a> account! Yes, you can follow this one as well as the Mastodon account. It&#x27;ll have different content but I won&#x27;t post daily like on <a href="/tags/mastodon/" rel="tag">#Mastodon</a> <br><a href="/tags/dogsofmastodon/" rel="tag">#DogsOfMastodon</a> <a href="/tags/dogsofpixelfed/" rel="tag">#DogsOfPixelfed</a> <a href="/tags/dogsoffediverse/" rel="tag">#DogsOfFediverse</a> <a href="/tags/photography/" rel="tag">#Photography</a>

<p>Groups are not new to Pixelfed, we have webUI support but the feature wasn&#x27;t polished enough for use, until now ✨</p><p><img src="https://neodb.social/media/emoji/mastodon.social/pixelfed.png" class="emoji" alt=":pixelfed:" title=":pixelfed:"> Groups will be compatible with Lemmy, Mbin, Smithereen and other projects, and will resemble Facebook Groups in our official app!</p><p>Stay tuned, we&#x27;ll be shipping the updated Groups support in the app and webUI this weekend 🚀</p><p><a href="/tags/pixelfed/" rel="tag">#pixelfed</a> <a href="/tags/groups/" rel="tag">#groups</a></p>

There is no algorithm on Pixelfed, it&#x27;s entirely up to you to decide what goes in your timeline. One of the best ways to fill your timeline with stuff you&#x27;re interested in is to follow hashtags:<br><br>1. Search for a hashtag remembering to include # at the beginning<br>2. Choose the hashtag you want from the list of suggestions<br>3. Click the &quot;Follow&quot; button at the top<br><br>Once you&#x27;ve followed a hashtag, posts with that hashtag will gradually start to appear in your timeline even if you don&#x27;t follow the person who made it.<br><br>If you want to keep track of your followed hashtags go to Account Settings &gt; Relationships &gt; Hashtags<br><br><a href="/tags/feditips/" rel="tag">#FediTips</a> <a href="/tags/pixelfed/" rel="tag">#Pixelfed</a> <a href="/tags/pixelfedtips/" rel="tag">#PixelfedTips</a>

<p>I&#x27;ve been asked the same questions a few times, so in response to people&#x27;s questions about <a href="/tags/pixelfed/" rel="tag">#pixelfed</a> :</p><p>Q.Why bother to have a separate Pixelfed account when you already have a federated Mastodon account? </p><p>A. I use this primary account as a space to blow off steam, relax, direct the busyness in my mind (which usually comes out as a tidal wave of nonsense and silliness) and also as my beloved Fedi community. I really like the idea of there being a different space where I can be a bit more serious and don&#x27;t feel the compulsion to turn everything into a joke. I&#x27;d like the space to post images I find poignant or beautiful without my usual brand of chaotic madness. And I find posting photos more of an *at* rather than a *with* engagement. 😊</p><p>Q. Why post your images online where they&#x27;re available to be scraped?</p><p>A. It&#x27;s a choice. Whilst I&#x27;m obviously not keen on scrapers, the only alternative seems to be to live in fear of them so not to post publicly. Which I am not going to do. I was told recently some of my posts are making their way to Bluesky without me. Whilst I choose not to engage in that platform I&#x27;ve set up a mirror account there so that people can at least reference who I am back at my Fedi home accounts.</p><p>Please feel free to ask any other questions and I will happily respond here. Vive la Fedi. 😊</p>

<p>Has anyone found a <a href="/tags/pixelfed/" rel="tag">#pixelfed</a> client for iOS that supports adding a location?<br>Not even the official app does 🫠</p>

<p>If you&#x27;re wanting to join Pixelfed, you don&#x27;t have to join pixelfed.social. There are other Pixelfed servers you can join instead, which will help spread the load and keep the network safe from being taken over.</p><p>For example here are three Pixelfed servers that have reliable people running them:</p><p><a href="https://pixelfed.de" rel="nofollow"><span class="invisible">https://</span>pixelfed.de</a><br><a href="https://pixey.org" rel="nofollow"><span class="invisible">https://</span>pixey.org</a><br><a href="https://gram.social" rel="nofollow"><span class="invisible">https://</span>gram.social</a></p><p>There are even more listed on the official Pixelfed website at <a href="https://pixelfed.org/servers" rel="nofollow"><span class="invisible">https://</span>pixelfed.org/servers</a></p><p><a href="/tags/pixelfed/" rel="tag">#Pixelfed</a> <a href="/tags/feditips/" rel="tag">#FediTips</a></p>
