    Federation of a forge has all the downsides of Lemmy federation multiplied - the implication is that I could issue a remote PR or a remote Issue (whatever) against a project with ill intent (trolls, spammers, whatever) instead of having a local account on that forge. sounds cool but…

    …now besides only your own forge instance users, you now have to deal with “the whole world” being able to shit on your Git projects if they want to do so, until their bad-actor federated forge instance gets blocked. This is all beside the technical problems of how to integrate remote users into your workflows.

    Forge federation has (to me) a large “social spam” problem of negatives to solve first. $0.02



  • It somewhat mirrors Lemmy communities showing up - someone has to subscribe to your PF profile from another instance in order for your content to show up in that instance’s “explore” type feed (e.g. browsing a hashtag like say #caturday). In essence your profile has to be “seeded” by someone on a remote instance in the Mastodon/Pixelfed environment.

    So for example if you’re at @valmond@pixelfed.art and I’m on, say, pixelfed.de or pixelfed.social, if nobody on .de or .social subscribes to your profile on .art then your content never reaches random humans on .de or .social until at least one person subscribes to you from there to trigger federation of your specific profile.

    One hack is to create a second/third account on the popular server(s) and follow yourself on the less well-known server until you get natural organic followers on that remote platform so that your content shows up in that popular, remote instance explore feeds. shrug



  • When I view your profile with my Pixelfed account (using Moshidon on Android) shows no posts?

    This could be an incompatibility in viewing Pixelfed API data - try a client which specifically lists Pixelfed support, such as Fedilab - their (stickbro) profile shows up fine for me in Fedilab, $0.02.


  • Your favourite search engine -> “pixelfed no video preview” -> several Github issues that are all closed, some with commits saying something was fixed, others just closed without resolution.

    I experience this preview problem viewing videos posted both by Pixelfed uploads (such as yours) and videos posted via Mastodon instances which I follow in Pixelfed. There’s something broken in Pixelfed software being able to generate video previews from several sources in my experience, which do not exist if you follow those same accounts from a Mastodon instance.


  • I self-host Gogs for my internal projects, but my public stuff is on Github.

    If you were willing to make a fundamental change, one possible outcome: migrate your internal from Gogs to Forgejo and use Codeberg for your public FOSS as it runs on (a slightly patched) Forgejo. The gain is working with the same tooling on both sides and possibly gaining a runner (Action) locally if you spend the time to learn and set it up on your internal instance. Bonus idea: you could even make your public Codeberg FOSS repo a push-mirror from your internal server and let the Forgejos keep things in sync between the two.









  • We’ve had a “leafpocalypse” in the past week here, every tree dropped like it was a 3 day conspiracy of trees to instill dread in homeowners. My local lawn team is proactively driving by their regulars, rang my door yesterday seeing the disaster my trees left “want us to mulch all that up?” and even blew off my roof and gutters real quick. Heck yeah, save me the pain! take_my_money.jpg
