I wish there was a simpler way to keep PixelFed private; I get that there is a lot of focus on the fediverse, but this can also serve as a private image/video sharing platform for close friends and family.
Being public by default creates a blocker for the average person joining it.
I can't figure out how to make videos private. I signed up specifically to share pics/vids with my family, but I don't want everything open to everyone
If you go to your profile, there is a setting to turn it private; after that you should have an option on your posts to keep them private or public
Grew up on White Oak, wild but very cool seeing it in your username. 👍
