I found a comment from dansup in issue 5885 on the Pixelfed GitHub. The inability to tag users on other instances is by design.

I edited my post to include this info.

So many anti-Conservative voters have the misconception that strategic voting means always supporting the Liberal candidate. In some ridings, it's the NDP or Green candidate who has the best shot.

Nope, it doesn't work. I can manually type your username into the search box, but nothing appears. To be clear, I'm talking about tagging someone in a picture, not a comment. If it makes a difference, I'm using the Pixelfed website, not an app.

That's an interesting idea. I wonder if Pixelfed (the software) has support for that.

Off topic, but the Pixelfed link in your Lemmy profile doesn't work. It should be https://pixelfed.ca/sunshine.

What about Orleans in Ontario? OR-LINZ? OR-LEANS? OR-LAY-ON? Something else?

I think the announcement post should have stayed pinned longer. I waited a long time for your Pixelfed instance. One evening, I did a random Lemmy check and saw the announcement post pinned at the top of my feed. The next day, it was gone. I'm sure there are some people who are interested in a Pixelfed instance run by the Lemmy.ca team and may not even realize it's already live.

I've been alternating between the mobile website and the official Android app since the launch of Pixelfed.ca. I'm leaning towards the website due to some deficiencies in the official app:

• Lots of random crashes. I can't reliably replicate this, so I can't say for sure what causes it. I'm using a Google Pixel 9 Pro on Android 15.
• There might be some user error here, but I can't get the media editor to work when creating posts. On the New Post screen, I enabled the media editor in the settings menu. I am not given any kind of editing options after selecting an image to upload.
• No suggestions when typing hashtags.
• No global feed.

Overall, I'm really enjoying my Pixelfed experience despite the growing pains associated with using a new instance.

Is that the reason why it's hosted overseas? I think it's interesting that an instance "intended to serve citizens and residents of British Columbia" isn't hosted in BC.

Yes! It's finally here! My first experience with Pixelfed was back in 2019 on an instance which got shut down shortly after I signed up. It really demonstrated the importance of picking the "right" instance. Given Fedecan's track record with Lemmy.ca, I know Pixelfed.ca won't suffer the same fate. 😊

I think you're being too generous. I'm probably not alone in saying that a 10% price increase gives me 0% interest in buying a new laptop.

You guys are fast. You updated to the latest version before I even knew about its existence. I love this instance.

Exciting. This brings us one step closer to Pixelfed and Friendica hosted by Fedecan.
