Stories might be our most complex feature yet (harder than Collections, Groups, Portfolios combined). But they're everywhere - Snapchat, Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, TikTok, LinkedIn. People expect them. Love them or hate them, they're how we share moments. @pixelfed is doing Stories ethically - no tracking, no ads, just authentic sharing. The future is federated. ❤️ #pixelfed #stories #ethicalAlternatives #theFutureIsFederated #fediverse #activitypub

Pixelfed Stories are one of the most anticipated features, with high expectations. I understand this and am working hard to make them perfect for you. Smooth animations, beautiful design, and the polished experience you deserve. Your patience means everything! 🙏 ✨ #pixelfed #Stories

I'm ready to cry tears of joy, after several attempts and years trying to get Stories working like the familiar Instagram Stories, I finally got it right with layers, mentions, links and text 🥳 I have some backend work to wrap up later today, then I will be merging it and shipping a new TestFlight release with Story support!! 🚀 We will likely see some edge cases and bugs, but that's why we're only releasing to TestFlight, once fixed, we can promote to prod ✨ Composer vs Final Federated Image

"Dan barely uses his own platforms" I use Pixelfed like Instagram, and only post my best photos. I'm a fediverse developer and post more on Mastodon because I like to share updates and gather feedback. Apparently this is why you "shouldn't use Pixelfed" because I post on Masto more. I say ignore the haters and use what you love. That's what makes the fediverse so special, wherever you find a home, you're still just a follow, like or comment away ❤️
