  • Your favourite search engine -> “pixelfed no video preview” -> several Github issues that are all closed, some with commits saying something was fixed, others just closed without resolution.

    I experience this preview problem viewing videos posted both by Pixelfed uploads (such as yours) and videos posted via Mastodon instances which I follow in Pixelfed. There’s something broken in Pixelfed software being able to generate video previews from several sources in my experience, which do not exist if you follow those same accounts from a Mastodon instance.


  • The other data shows that posts and comments are going up linearly (a little suspicious but OK), but I wonder how the modlog affects the data (meaning how is it captured and when). I made one comment to a honest post yesterday (hosted on a remote instance), which then the post was deleted by admins like so:

    Removed Post Any app for call recording ? reason: Rule 2: Please use !askandroid@lemdro.id for support questions.

    So my comment shows in my history but cannot actually be accessed; was this comment counted? was that post counted? Was I counted as an active user yesterday if that was the only activity I did all day? Was the one person who upvoted my comment before the thread was deleted counted?

    Lies, damn lies and statistics. :)
