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've turned off registration temporarily while we resolve the below question, since people would have to re-register if we migrate domains.

Sooo uh. Right after we launched this, Dan (pixelfed dev) got back to us and said we could have pixelfed.ca if we want it.

How does everyone feel about pixelfed.ca vs pixeld.ca for our base domain? Now's the time to pivot!

Edit: We're up at https://pixelfed.ca/ now instead, come on over! You probably do not want to to try to migrate an existing account.

I'm sure "pixeld" would be pronounced like "pixelled" but when I saw it my immediate thought was "pixel dee".

While I do like the "pixelled" pronunciation, I think "pixelfed" is less ambiguous and it's clear what service it is running.
