Yo dawg, I heard you like tests, so I got some tests for your tests so you can test while you test!
How is your experience with exporting GIFs in terms of file size? They tend to run larger than, say, mp4 files, right?
I use Shotcut btw.

Hmm, well, it used to, but I guess it’s been that long since I’ve fresh installed Firefox. Today I learned.
yeah, but Firefox ships w/ Yahoo as the default search engine 😱
OP says they have no software development skills, so when you recommend for OP to build something they want, make something entirely new, add a feature, etc…how do you mean?

Yes and no. Technically yes because the issue seems only to affect pixelfed.social; however, that happens to be the largest instance iirc. And hash tags are not federated, so one of the main features for discovery that is accessed from the landing page is unusable or broken (has been for months).
Meanwhile, people are out there talking and reading about this cool federated alternative to instagram called pixelfed, perhaps spending a few minutes browsing the site for the largest instance which also happens to have the word pixelfed in the URL, but as soon as they try interacting with it, they bounce off because they clicked on a link hoping to get more nature photos, but got an error instead. 🤷♂️
Hmm… that may be the case on some instances (e.g. pixelfed.social), but I know an account is not required on others because I’ve tested it on several instances without registering. The only one it breaks on is pixelfed.social, which unfortunately is also the largest instance.
But still good to know, thanks for pointing that out. It’s too bad the unauthenticated discovery is still broken, though.
It’s a cool concept with a lot of potential, but currently very buggy and incomplete. For example, basic functionality like hash tags need to be fixed and federated for it to be usable IMHO. It has piqued my interest, though, so I might sign up someday if the usability issues are ever addressed.

Are hash tags working for you? Whenever I click on a hash tag, it takes me to a missing page.
Except that the explore/discover pages aren’t federated, but otherwise, yeah.
Much respect for the creator of Pixelfed for their contributions to the fediverse and all for more fedi alternatives, but please fix basic functionality on Pixelfed first!

Used to use Evernote, but switched to OneNote b/c Evernote enshitified so badly as to be unusable on mobile, which is my primary use case.
Still not totally satisfied w/ OneNote, but I don’t feel like paying for Obsidian sync or hosting my own solution, so it’s good enough until I change my mind on either of the above.
An app called Ardour was listed as an open source alternative to Audacity in this HTG article from 2022. I’ve no experience with it, but from a quick internet search it looks like the options are very few.
There’s an app called Local Send that’s like an alternative to air dropping files on iOS devices, not sure if that’s what you’re talking about or not.
Oh, we’re keeping the box—as a requirement for the job, not a disqualification.
