Mmm, coffee. ☕
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:
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.
Does anyone have experience using Friendica primarily as an RSS reader? Could it function as an alternative to web-based RSS readers like Feedly?
Thanks for the reply. I am particularly interested in Fedecan’s expansion into other decentralized/federated platforms. I know the timing is dependent on the server migration, but I was wondering if there’s a tentative list of what may be supported.
Apologies if this sounds impatient, but is there any kind of update on the status of Fedecan? This was announced six months ago and there’s been radio silence since then.
What if I never used Meta in the first place? What does that make me? Am I a virtue signaller too?
In Vancouver, Canada, we have a journalist named St. John Alexander who pronounces his first name as “Sinjin.” I heard him say it on TV and it sounded weird. His profile even mentions it.
He’s often asked about his name. St. John is originally British and is pronounced “Sinjin.” His parents discovered it in Charlotte Bronte’s novel Jane Eyre.

I wasn’t sure if Lemmuy-UI in the results list was a typo or an alternative interface. Now I know. 😄
Just the other day, I was thinking about how nice it would be for the team behind lemmy.ca to expand into other Fediverse services. I’m glad to see it’s on the roadmap. The future is looking brighter for non-corporate social media in Canada.

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.
