After moving in to our new server last month, our next large project is to set up some new Fediverse platforms. One of the most requested of those was Pixelfed, which is an image sharing platform.

You should be able to sign up here: pixelfed.ca

As with any new instance, some issues are to be expected and while we've done some testing already, please bear with us as things get going. For any support related issues with pixelfed.ca, please post in the new !pixelfed@lemmy.ca community

I’m trying to sign up through the Pixelfed app, but it doesn’t show this server and I don’t see anywhere to type it in. Help?

Edit: Oh I found the entry box under Other, way down at the bottom then sign-in to custom server.

I’m thinking I need to sign up on the webpage though.

Edit: signup isn’t working for me the mobile website. I’ll try on desktop later.

Thats a bad login flow for a fediverse app if you arent clearly presented with a homeserver choice at first run :/ There are other (possibly better) pixelfed apps but i havent tried pixelfed at all so cant really comment on them.

Gotta scroll down a bit https://pixelfed.org/mobile-apps

Yes the UX needs some work =(

It is very bad. Thanks for the link :)

Where are you getting stuck?

Edit: I think hcaptcha was breaking things. I've turned it off for now.

I’m still stuck on the registration screen. I didn’t see a captcha before and it would just do nothing. I don’t see one now either, but now it’s telling me my password confirmation doesn’t match every time I try. Or I messed it up 10 times. 🤔

Edit: I guess I did mess it up ten times because it just worked :)

Good to hear it worked out :)

Well I just got stuck in the kitchen making quesadillas, but now I’m stuck on the couch. I’ll give it a shot!

r) p

At the register a new account page .

When I try to register, the form just deletes the passwords and unchecks the “I am at least 16 years old” box.

Odd, I did have some issues myself when I signed up with the pixelfed.social instance a while back, which resolved by themselves later on.

Do you have the same issue on incognito?
