✨ Better Discovery + #pixelfedApp

No matter how big or small your instance is, the new Discover tab will showcase trending content and follow recommendations from across the fediverse!

Shipping soon to our Android app, and later to our iOS TestFlight once Apple fixes that for us! 🚀

Hey, can you provide me with API documentation to build a pixelfed client. I would love to build one in my free time

@pixelfed may I ask for new github release, with updated instagram import? any eta?

@btd @pixelfed I've been trying to import for a week or 2 and it has certain issues like multi photo posts not being uploaded in the correct order or some characters being messed up. Really good feature though, since it helps with migrating.

@pixelfed that reminds of a question I had: how is "Trending" constructed for an instance? Is it just Favs? In a certain time? Or calculated differently?

@pixelfed I'm all for tools to help people discover interesting relevant accounts, especially when they're new.

Just please, please, please make sure that the discovery algorithm is based on *relevance to the users interests* and not *popularity* or *engagement* so we don't just repeat the mistakes and horrors of social networks past.

eg. Match the hashtags they define for their account, or the keywords they post, not whatever posts are popular and have replies / favorites.
