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

Hey, quick question:

If we import our content from Instagram, what's the default visibility? I tried importing it on another instance and the default was "unlisted" meaning it was still public, but not displayed in searches and public feeds.

Is that something you guys can set server side? If so, I'd prefer they be private and only visible to my approved followers.

I don't think there is an option in the main admin console for that, but we can look around for any settings in the config.

On that other instance, was your account set to private initially?

Yes it was.

I think there is an open bug about this in their github. This might change in the future.

Also, is it normal that I see no posts in the main page feed? Will I only see posts of people I exclusively follow?

There should be three feeds actually:
