You cannot create text-only posts on Pixelfed, you will only see text-only posts from other fediverse platforms like Mastodon and Pleroma.

need to post the convert command line to create the image to Mastodon or Pleroma, then the image to PixelFed

Dreaming the possible dream :)

So, it's an interesting idea to support this, and it's cool that you built this part...

But, why support statuses at all, if the people using the platform can't create statuses themselves? Why not just not have statuses?

We are working on support for composing text-only posts and polls in Pixelfed.

While we started out as a photo-only platform, many users have requested this so they don't need multiple accounts across the fediverse!

I don't think this is important, one can use any dummy-image to post it along a text-status.
I'd say using some kind of article-image or icon or symbolic picture is even better but a plain test posting

completely unrelated, but is custom css functionality active or is the tab in admin->settings just a placeholder?

After enabling, if I try and save custom css, it am redirected to the Features tab and the custom css isn't saved.

Happy to raise a ticket as always, just wanted to confirm before doing so whether its supposed to be working yet.
