@tripu Sorry about that! We're working on a fix for this, and we're going to remove the limits for collections.
In addition, we'll have 3 new layout options that will be available so you have greater control over the presentation of collections.
Hope you'll stick around to experience these planned improvements!
OK, I'm fed up with #Pixelfed
@pixelfed. I think I'm done with it once this year's #dailyphoto is over.
Last night I [bumped again](https://qoto.org/@tripu/106091353468149241) into the issue of collections being limited to 18 posts. So I created [a new collection](https://pixelfed.de/c/422147543041479526) with the idea of splitting my 30 photos of April between [the old](https://pixelfed.de/c/415513620799474040) and the new collection (15 + 15).
Issue: because of the new UI, posts have two valid URLs now; eg `/i/web/post/<POST>` and `/p/<USER>/<POST>?fs=1`. When I tried to add a few photos to the _new_ collection by pasting their URLs, it didn't work. Until I realised I had to use _the other_ URL.
Issue: when I tried to remove the last 3 photos from the _old_ collection, the “edit” pop-up didn't even show me those. Until I realised the pop-up takes its data from the page itself (not from an API call), and because of the infinite scroll on the page, unless you have scrolled down _before_ trying to edit the collection, you won't be able to edit but the first bunch of items.
Issue: once I understood that (and I scroll until the end, then click to edit, then select the last 3 photos), the dialog box says _“Select a Photo to Delete”_, the button is labelled _“Delete 3 photos”_, and if you dare to click it, a confirmation pop-up says _“Are you sure you want to delete this?”_. NO, I'M NOT SURE. Are you going to _remove these photos from the collection_, or _delete them_??

@tripu 👍 “Your teams are full of talented and capable people doing what they do best, but they need space to do so. By better understanding how they want to work together, how meetings fit into that, and where meetings do and don’t add value, you’ll minimize the need for useless meetings.”
#JonathanHaidt at his best. Well worth the (long) read, as a very comprehensive overview of the mess we're in.

Not Invented Here? Guys, we have the #Fediverse and #Mastodon already! (No need for #crypto BS for this.)

By 2017, agencies like the FBI, the Drug Enforcement Agency, and the IRS’s Criminal Investigation division (or IRS-CI) had traced #Bitcoin transactions to carry out one investigative coup after another.”_

This morning, when I heard #MissEntropy was awake, I went to her room, took her in my arms and put her in our bed — next to #BreakerOfHorses's crib (we do this on lazy weekend mornings only). She was happy and lovely.
Immediately after sitting there between us two, she said: “I want #books… I want books.”
She's only 2.5 and can't even #read yet, but I consider 80% of my parenting goals accomplished already.
