r/flickr

I'd like to open Flickr in my browser, just like I always have, but for about a week now, this page has been showing up instead. It's happened temporarily before, but now I'm starting to wonder if there might be a problem on my end?

My mobile app isn't working either. Is there something going on that I'm not aware of?

Posting this here because I haven't received a response yet from Flickr support. I tried sharing an album directly from the new app (Android), but the recipients could not access the album (they got various error messages). But when I tried it again from the website, the link worked. So the web link sharing function for albums is not working on the new app. Hope it gets resolved soon. Thanks.

Hey yall, I apologize in advance for the question, but Im kinda new to this whole "uploading my photos online" thing. I started uploading them on Instagram, but I wanted to have an option for people who want to see the photos without the instagram compression, so I found out about Flickr and uploaded some photos there.

To my suprise, when I looked at my photo, the resolution was not as good as my original file. I mainly post astrophotography, so zooming into the photo is kinda important. I mean the resolution for my last image for example was 12028x7168 (weird number due to crop). So is Flickr still my best bet in that case, or is there some other site that allows this? Or maybe even help me understand why its that way. Either one of those would be gladly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

I kept noticing that the interesting thing about a burst of photos, or five tries at the same shot, is the series itself. Not any single frame. But there was no good way to watch them as a series. Slideshow apps cross-fade and Ken Burns everything into mush, and the video apps want to interpolate, stabilize, and "enhance."

So I built Flipbook: https://flipbook.photos

It plays your photos back slowly enough that you can still see they are photographs: each one held for a beat, then a hard cut to the next. The feel of a flipbook or early film. No filters, no grain overlays, no generated frames. The whole effect comes from timing.

Here it is running the oldest photo series there is, Muybridge's galloping horse from 1878: https://www.reddit.com/r/stopmotion/comments/1vlu2hr/

A few things I cared about:

• Your photos never leave your device. Decoding and H.264 encoding happen in the browser with WebCodecs. There is no upload step at all.
• Honesty to the originals. Nothing is retouched or invented. The one optional feature that crops anything (auto-align, for handheld drift) is off by default and tells you exactly how much it trimmed.
• It reads your camera roll the way you shot it. It sorts by EXIF capture time and auto-groups photos into series wherever there is a gap of more than ten seconds, so a dump of forty photos organizes itself into the three moments you actually shot.
• The output actually works. A true 5 fps video breaks iOS Photos and iMessage, so it encodes at a normal frame rate with each photo repeated. You get an MP4 that saves straight to your camera roll and posts anywhere.

Good for kids growing up in the same doorway, a friend mid-laugh across five frames, construction progress, a dog failing to catch something.

It is free for your first three videos, then $12 for a year. No account either way. The code is public if you want to see how the in-browser encoding works: https://github.com/mzrascoff/flipbook

Would love to know what breaks, especially on Android browsers.

I will start by saying I do like Flickr and have been on here for almost 20 years. With that said, I feel it is getting overwhelmingly expensive for what I use it for. I mainly like to have online backup and albums to share with family. Has anyone found an alternative that is an easy migration where I can keep my albums? I have heard you can build download but I have also seen mixed reviews and I have been having trouble figuring out how to get that sorted.

Please let me know if anyone has an opinion.

What a mess the app release was!! Has Flickr bounced back, or is the damage continuing?

What the hell is going on with the updated app? It's complete dogshit and it's been out for weeks and still hasn't fixed this basic issue. Not sure I'm going to be continuing my Flickr pro subscription.
