It is compatible. You need to jump through the email confirmation hoop before it’ll actually work with the app though. So if your account is new, that’s probably the reason.

Besides that, it could just be the mass influx of new users that are fleeing Instagram.

Probably a max exodus from Tiktokers who refuse to use Instagram.

I didn't get any error. Probably just overwhelmed by new users 😆

Just need to check again later. I had this same error at first.

Absolutely NO sexuality explicit content. This includes, but not limited to, images/videos/chat around sexual acts. There are other places on the internet for this.

😥

Seems fair. There are many places for erotic/porn content on the web. And for a federated network it is good to not force instance owners to manage avoiding the hosting of nudity by federating it.

Nudity isn't inherently sexual, and they pointedly have not mentioned it in the quoted text. It sounds like only explicit sexual content is forbidden, not nudity.

I do think even this is an overreach for a federated network, though, assuming Pixelfed is enforcing this on all instances (is that even possible?). It should be on the instance owners to make that decision. I couldn't find where the quoted text is sourced from, however.

Someone could just start a NSFW version, right?

There's an "Adult" section in pixelfed.org's instance list

Are they spying on my chats? How would they know its contents?

Unless E2EE is implemented - the service owner can see all the messages, as they are stored in plain text.

[–] GrammarPolice@lemmy.world 2 points 10 hours ago

So there's no E2EE on pixelfed?

Is that like a federated version of flikr?

[–] surph_ninja@lemmy.world 4 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

I think it’s supposed to be like old instagram.

On that note, has anyone here gotten into the Surf (the Flipboard thing) beta? I got in, but the download link does not work, but from what I understand that's supposed to turn into a whole-federation browser starting with the microblogging sites (Mastodon + Bluesky + Threads), so I wonder whether they'll add support for Pixelfed et al in the future.

Wow, I was unaware of this, it looks so promising...
