How is your experience with exporting GIFs in terms of file size? They tend to run larger than, say, mp4 files, right?
I use Shotcut btw.

Hmm, well, it used to, but I guess it’s been that long since I’ve fresh installed Firefox. Today I learned.
yeah, but Firefox ships w/ Yahoo as the default search engine 😱
OP says they have no software development skills, so when you recommend for OP to build something they want, make something entirely new, add a feature, etc…how do you mean?
Honest question: Why?
IMHO stack exchange is basically reddit/lemmy with hand cuffs because no threaded discussions and every other question is closed as off topic. I don’t understand what another stack exchange would buy anybody.
I guess one thing stack exchange does well is “related questions” and tagging, but… I dunno. (shrugs)
I think what I’m looking for on Pixelfed is a toggle similar to what Lemmy has, where the user can choose between Local or All. Local would show photos from just that instance, whereas All would include photos from all instances (that aren’t blocked ofc).
To see what I mean, go to any instance, visit the explore page, and click a hash tag. Then go to a different instance and enter that same tag on the second instance. In every example I’ve tried, the second instance either has a completely different set of photos for the same tag or no photos at all. For example, on https://gram.social/ the tag #carspotting shows 171 posts. Now if I try the same tag on https://pixey.org, 0 posts.
Kudos to dansup for at least giving us proofs of concept to build on top of. Despite my own reservations about registering for pixelfed until the discover pages federate with different instances and hash tags work again on the flagship instance, I look forward to a post-instagram world.
Yes and no. Technically yes because the issue seems only to affect pixelfed.social; however, that happens to be the largest instance iirc. And hash tags are not federated, so one of the main features for discovery that is accessed from the landing page is unusable or broken (has been for months).
Meanwhile, people are out there talking and reading about this cool federated alternative to instagram called pixelfed, perhaps spending a few minutes browsing the site for the largest instance which also happens to have the word pixelfed in the URL, but as soon as they try interacting with it, they bounce off because they clicked on a link hoping to get more nature photos, but got an error instead. 🤷♂️
Hmm… that may be the case on some instances (e.g. pixelfed.social), but I know an account is not required on others because I’ve tested it on several instances without registering. The only one it breaks on is pixelfed.social, which unfortunately is also the largest instance.
But still good to know, thanks for pointing that out. It’s too bad the unauthenticated discovery is still broken, though.
It’s a cool concept with a lot of potential, but currently very buggy and incomplete. For example, basic functionality like hash tags need to be fixed and federated for it to be usable IMHO. It has piqued my interest, though, so I might sign up someday if the usability issues are ever addressed.
ability to follow hashtags
Are hash tags working for you? Whenever I click on a hash tag, it takes me to a missing page.
Except that the explore/discover pages aren’t federated, but otherwise, yeah.
Much respect for the creator of Pixelfed for their contributions to the fediverse and all for more fedi alternatives, but please fix basic functionality on Pixelfed first!

Used to use Evernote, but switched to OneNote b/c Evernote enshitified so badly as to be unusable on mobile, which is my primary use case.
Still not totally satisfied w/ OneNote, but I don’t feel like paying for Obsidian sync or hosting my own solution, so it’s good enough until I change my mind on either of the above.
An app called Ardour was listed as an open source alternative to Audacity in this HTG article from 2022. I’ve no experience with it, but from a quick internet search it looks like the options are very few.
There’s an app called Local Send that’s like an alternative to air dropping files on iOS devices, not sure if that’s what you’re talking about or not.
Yo dawg, I heard you like tests, so I got some tests for your tests so you can test while you test!
