    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. 👍

      id imagine that disabling federation would solve most of those problems? you could just run it as a “stand alone” server with all your own content…: unless you wanted family on another pixelfed instance to be able to follow you

      … actually rereading your comment i think i took “platform” as you saying you wanted to host your own instance, but that’s not necessarily the case!
