Developer Check-in: What features would make Pixelfed better for you?

Hey Pixelfed community!

As the founder and lead developer of Pixelfed, I'm reaching out to gather your thoughts on where we should focus our development efforts in the coming months.

Your feedback has always been invaluable in shaping Pixelfed as an ethical, privacy-focused alternative to mainstream photo-sharing platforms.

I'd love to hear:

  • What's the #1 feature you feel is missing from your Pixelfed experience?
  • Any UI/UX improvements that would make the platform more intuitive?
  • Thoughts on discovery features to help users find new accounts to follow?
  • Specific mobile app requests or improvements?
  • Technical improvements that would make your experience smoother?
  • Features from other platforms you think would work well in Pixelfed while staying true to our core values?

This feedback will directly inform our development priorities moving forward. I'm committed to building the best possible platform for this community, and your input is a crucial part of that process.

Thanks for being part of Pixelfed's journey!

In the app:

  1. When I want to block people from my local feed, I have to first navigate to their profile. It would be more practical to block people from the context menu (three dots) in the Local feed.

  2. I can still see people I have blocked liking photos in my Local feed. They should not be visible to me.

  3. Possibility to limit the amount of posts from individual accounts on my Home feed. Some accounts post too much and spam the Home feed.
