Pixelfed users, your DMs are closed to strangers by default.

If you would like to receive DMs from people you don't follow, you need to adjust your settings:

1. Log into your account on your Pixelfed server’s website
2. Go to "Account Settings"
3. Go to "Privacy"
4. Tick the box marked "Receive Direct Messages from anyone"
5. Click the "Submit" button at the bottom of the screen

If you change your mind, repeat the process but untick the box instead.

New Blog Post: I Built a Bot

I've created a Mastodon bot called NotifyBot that monitors hashtags and sends you a DM when new posts appear.

Would you like to try it?

If you post a thing made by generative AI (no matter if you made it or another person), please add a disclaimer and/or hashtag, so people know what they're at, word filters can catch and block them and people who followed these hashtags can find them.
