@freemo Thanks!
@aramloosman Yes, I exchanged once a toot or two with @dansup (not about Pixelfed, though), and submitted a tiny PR for Pixelfed a while ago.
I think some of my biggest complaints are about the Instagram UI itself — not about Pixelfed. So yeah, looks like I should be migrating to another image-sharing tool at some point (I'm not in a hurry). The problem is, there are lots of #Fediverse tools for audio, video, microblogging and writing; but not so many for images…

@tripu I agree that the UX of @pixelfed could do better. I'm following the development closely, because I enjoy using the platform very much and many odds and ends have improved over time. So I hope there's more to come.
I'm afraid, comment and description handling is indeed unfinished. Other features have been dropped, like double-clicking the image for full size. Why?
Points 4, 6, and 8 seem to be bugs. An alternative view and navigation mode inspired by Flickr would indeed be very handy.
Some IMHO important thoughts about shortcomings of the UI and UX of #Pixelfed by @tripu :
https://qoto.org/@tripu/106091353468149241
I criticise #Pixelfed from a place of love for #FLOSS, and gratitude towards @dansup and the rest of developers. I even contributed a tiny fix to the codebase myself a while ago.
Perhaps it's just that I dislike #Instagram and its UI so much that a copycat (even a free, open and federated copycat) simply isn't for me. I understand I should find an image-sharing project that better suits my preferences, and contribute to it, either with money or with code (my problem is: I haven't found any!).
Still, I felt like sharing my frustration about Pixelfed here — either to find agreement, or to be corrected.
✊ #Fediverse FTW!
#Pixelfed's major shortcomings, IMHO.
I realise some of these derive from the very proposition (ie, cloning #Instagram's horrible UI), and perhaps others are configurable or specific to my instance (#pixelfed.de). Still.
0️⃣ No distinction between “title” (short & descriptive; shown on media previews and thumbnails) and “description” (long text; on post pages only).
1️⃣ Images are too small (on my laptop, limited to 732 px in width); no “open largest size by default” or “full screen mode”.
2️⃣ Can't navigate between adjacent images; ie swiping or pressing →/← to move within a collection, tag, or profile.
3️⃣ Small thumbnails (mosaic on collection, tag or profile pages) don't show the (beginning of the) description.
4️⃣ Small thumbnails always indicate zero comments, even when there *are* comments.
5️⃣ Large thumbnails (entries on home page) aren't clickable; one has to click on tiny “x days ago” in footer.
6️⃣ New comments don't appear under “notifications” (/account/activity).
7️⃣ Collections are limited to 18 posts.
8️⃣ “Edit” action fails consistently.
9️⃣ Even short descriptions and comment threads are truncated/hidden (eg, 4 clicks are needed to reveal/expand everything on https://pixelfed.de/p/tripu/265782587476283392); text is squeezed in that narrow column.
«En 2019, la mediana del #salario mensual real de los #jóvenes entre 18 y 35 años era menor que en 1980, con caídas que van desde el 26% para aquellos con edades entre 30 y 34 años hasta el 50% para los de 18 a 20 años. Estas caídas se deben principalmente a una reducción muy acusada de la duración de sus empleos y a un aumento del peso del #empleo a tiempo parcial.»

Orwell and Huxley were both geniuses ahead of their time but their views of a future dystopia were a bit different. We illustrated author Neil Postman's words.

@freemo Yes, I'm glad you did that.

This DuckDuckGo audit by @purism is a sobering read:
https://source.puri.sm/toolauditor/CEAP/-/blob/master/audits/ddg.md
Remember that DuckDuckGo is venture capital-funded which means that they must exit—either become a publicly-traded multi-billion-dollar company (sell to the public) or sell to one of the incumbents.
(What we need is a publicly-funded but independently run search engine. The EU could create such a thing… if they didn’t have they heads firmly entrenched up Silicon Valley’s bumhole.)
The excuses being given by MobileCoin/Signal for keeping their code changes secret for a year is plain BS. @polarhive @Seirdy
