Getting the hang of PixelFed
Feeding the pixels one bark at a time
Stuff we’ve learned #
The Humans have been working to set up
PixelFed to manage the images they take of us

User-specific Discoverability #
To have your user account visible on the Directory page, you have to change your privacy settings from the default.
This wasn’t obvious to dad, but was simple to change once I helped him see what was pawsible.
- Login to pixelfed
- Look in the user-scoped drop-down upper right corner of the UI.
- Click on the Settings element.
- Click on the Privacy menu element.
There should be several options to check/uncheck here. - The two elements:
Include public posts in search results
Show on Directory
Are likely what you want here :)
