After moving in to our new server last month, our next large project is to set up some new Fediverse platforms. One of the most requested of those was Pixelfed, which is an image sharing platform.

You should be able to sign up here: pixelfed.ca

As with any new instance, some issues are to be expected and while we've done some testing already, please bear with us as things get going. For any support related issues with pixelfed.ca, please post in the new [email protected] community

I’m trying to sign up through the Pixelfed app, but it doesn’t show this server and I don’t see anywhere to type it in. Help?

Edit: Oh I found the entry box under Other, way down at the bottom then sign-in to custom server.

I’m thinking I need to sign up on the webpage though.

Edit: signup isn’t working for me the mobile website. I’ll try on desktop later.

Thats a bad login flow for a fediverse app if you arent clearly presented with a homeserver choice at first run :/ There are other (possibly better) pixelfed apps but i havent tried pixelfed at all so cant really comment on them.
