I mostly just want to ensure mine is visible to others.

This is the tricky part - you will be remote-invisible until someone from the other instance(s) follow you for any of your content to show up in their Explore (hashtags, etc.) feed for other people to discover you. Pixelfed.social is the biggest hub by far so getting on that radar is key (much like joining a small Mastodon instance and you want to be "seen" on mastodon.social e.g. - same processes).

So you want to follow yourself from your pixelfed.social account to your own domain.com, so that your domain.com profile is seeded (federated) for other pixelfed.social users to discover as they browse. It's a hack but there's no other real way given how "opt-in" federation works, unless you have pre-existing friends on pixelfed.social who subscribe to your domain.com for you right away so you don't have to hack it to get started.

In addition to nifty.sh for UP as recommended, you might be interested in Conversations.im, an actively developed, well known XMPP client with mobile optimizations[1] to keep battery use low which can act as your UP broker (distributor) on the device. Note they talk about needing a proxy to convert message types at the bottom: https://unifiedpush.org/users/distributors/conversations/

[1] using two XEPs outlined on their site: https://conversations.im/#features -> Mobile optimizations

I can access and browse the site fine in a private window in Firefox (desktop/laptop). https://pxlmo.com/pxlmo e.g. pulls right up and functions as expected.

OP is referring to the community on realbitcoin.cash instance, not World.

Federation of a forge has all the downsides of Lemmy federation multiplied - the implication is that I could issue a remote PR or a remote Issue (whatever) against a project with ill intent (trolls, spammers, whatever) instead of having a local account on that forge. sounds cool but...

...now besides only your own forge instance users, you now have to deal with "the whole world" being able to shit on your Git projects if they want to do so, until their bad-actor federated forge instance gets blocked. This is all beside the technical problems of how to integrate remote users into your workflows.

Forge federation has (to me) a large "social spam" problem of negatives to solve first. $0.02

Pixelix just showed up on F-Droid two days ago, the dev open-sourced their code just recently. I find it to be a "better" (subjective :) ) client than PixelDroid after testing it for a bit. $0.02 to any readers. https://f-droid.org/en/packages/com.daniebeler.pfpixelix/

It somewhat mirrors Lemmy communities showing up - someone has to subscribe to your PF profile from another instance in order for your content to show up in that instance's "explore" type feed (e.g. browsing a hashtag like say #caturday). In essence your profile has to be "seeded" by someone on a remote instance in the Mastodon/Pixelfed environment.

So for example if you're at @[email protected] and I'm on, say, pixelfed.de or pixelfed.social, if nobody on .de or .social subscribes to your profile on .art then your content never reaches random humans on .de or .social until at least one person subscribes to you from there to trigger federation of your specific profile.

One hack is to create a second/third account on the popular server(s) and follow yourself on the less well-known server until you get natural organic followers on that remote platform so that your content shows up in that popular, remote instance explore feeds. shrug

Insurance company Allstate and its subsidiary Arity unlawfully collected, used, and sold data about the location and movement of Texans’ cell phones through secretly embedded software in mobile apps, according to Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton.

When I view your profile with my Pixelfed account (using Moshidon on Android) shows no posts?

This could be an incompatibility in viewing Pixelfed API data - try a client which specifically lists Pixelfed support, such as Fedilab - their (stickbro) profile shows up fine for me in Fedilab, $0.02.

Your favourite search engine -> "pixelfed no video preview" -> several Github issues that are all closed, some with commits saying something was fixed, others just closed without resolution.

I experience this preview problem viewing videos posted both by Pixelfed uploads (such as yours) and videos posted via Mastodon instances which I follow in Pixelfed. There's something broken in Pixelfed software being able to generate video previews from several sources in my experience, which do not exist if you follow those same accounts from a Mastodon instance.

I self-host Gogs for my internal projects, but my public stuff is on Github.

If you were willing to make a fundamental change, one possible outcome: migrate your internal from Gogs to Forgejo and use Codeberg for your public FOSS as it runs on (a slightly patched) Forgejo. The gain is working with the same tooling on both sides and possibly gaining a runner (Action) locally if you spend the time to learn and set it up on your internal instance. Bonus idea: you could even make your public Codeberg FOSS repo a push-mirror from your internal server and let the Forgejos keep things in sync between the two.

 

Context: I'm of an age where AARP sends me snail mail to join; play a lot (too much?) of Destiny and the game sort of has a rep for being extremely toxic. Destiny 2 has hit a low spot so I wanted to try something new, mix it up.

Picked up Titanfall 2 from the PlayStation store on sale ($10?), played the short campaign then started jumping into classic Co-op (4 players defend a doohickey against 5 waves of AI enemies)...

...and it's full of little kids on mic laughing and giggling (and playing way better than me) just having fun. Super refreshing and makes me smile, I wouldn't call this a kid's game either. So yeah, good times for an old gamer.

Social networking startup and X competitor Bluesky is working on subscriptions. The company first announced plans to develop a new revenue stream based on the subscription model when detailing its $15 million Series A back in October. Now, mockups teasing the upcoming Bluesky subscription, along with a list of possible features, have been published to Bluesky’s GitHub.

 

Liberapay is a popular platform run with similar ethos as the overall Open Source world and has many projects (including Lemmy devs themselves) participating:

Ko-Fi and Github are for-profit entities, I would like to request adding a true open donation platform which itself survives on donations using the platform.

Thanks for your consideration.

Xfce 4.20 Released (alexxcons.github.io)
 

After almost two years of work, we are happy to announce the release of Xfce 4.20 !

Since Xfce 4.18 a lot of major development happened. Our team added many nice new features, did a gazillion of bug fixes and did various minor improvements. Finally, all that was released for your pleasure.

 

Yeah yeah I know there's another post about lemmy.world but let's get down to business - The Far Side comics from sh.itjust.works are not federating to us.

This is an emergency situation. Please dispatch the Kaitseliit ASAP, thank you!
