 > yes

Further administration commands like removing a user, removing unused media can be found in Pixelfed docs.

The admin page is located at https://pixelfed.example.com/i/admin/dashboard.

Federation

To test if federation works, search for a handle like @girish@pixelfed.social or @social@pixelfed.cloudron.io. You should then be able to follow that handle. Note that you can only see posts that are made after you followed the handle. Existing posts will not appear in you stream.

If following doesn't work:

• Login as an admin user on your Pixelfed instance
• Check https://pixelfed.domain.com/horizon/failed for job failures

Customizations

You can find the configuration file (env.production) under /app/data. Don`t forget to restart the app after making any changes to this file.
