People over profits is the real magic of fedi
We're building the future ✨
No shareholders. Just people.
Yeah, we'll probably see monetization and corporate interests join the fedi, and that's okay because the power of the protocol lies in choice
And the best fediverse platforms are open source and mostly good stewards of AP interop
Y'all made this happen, us devs can only take so much credit ❤️

So cool to see @npub1n8y…l96n officially join the fediverse using https://gotosocial.org/
Thanks for supporting so many amazing #fediverse projects, including @npub1gq5…qcul
(in fact, our project was the first fediverse project funded by nlnet ✨)

Just shipped a new mini side-project for Pixelfed + Laravel Forge + Cloudflare.
This tool enhances your @npub1gq5…qcul server security by automatically updating your server's firewall to allow only Cloudflare IP ranges, effectively blocking unauthorized requests.
This can ensure that only legitimate traffic reaches your server, reducing the risk of attacks and unauthorized access.
Simply add 2 env vars and setup the scheduler, and it will auto-update 😎

BeReal, Cara ain't shit compared to self-hosted and federated Instagram alternatives
Also, let's BeReal, Cara will likely have to take venture capital funding to sustain their inefficient growth
If you Cara bout the fediverse, BeReal and support better alternatives like @npub1gq5…qcul

I really appreciate all the kind words of support, sometimes it feels like I only see negative feedback and while I usually take that in good stride and strive to resolve the underlying issues...
I am only human, and sometimes that negative feedback stings more than usual
Rather than letting it get to my head, publicly acknowledging this, and my struggles, are my therapy
Your encouragement means the world to me and keeps me motivated!
Thank you for believing in me and the @npub1gq5…qcul app
❤️

2024-06-08 09:08:23

I've been working hard on the @npub1gq5…qcul mobile app and will be sharing a pre-release APK before I head to bed!
I can't emphasize how better it is, and it will only improve over the summer 😎
We're going to submit the app to the App Store/Play Store this weekend, and I'm so excited ✨

2024-06-06 14:43:41

Oops, I may have accidentally mentioned an unannounced @npub1gq5…qcul project named Later
Only our team would know it's an Android/iOS app that allows you to plan/schedule posts and share access with others, with kanban and list event planning, with easy integration with 3rd party services
It would be a travesty for people to find this out before our press team can get something out, so kindly ignore that 😉

2024-06-06 14:02:49

An open source/self hosted and federated Tik-Tok alternative, made by @npub1gq5…qcul has just successfully tested federation!

I can't prevent pixelfed forks, but I will do my best to accommodate feedback and feature requests, and encourage people to take on a more dedicated role within our project!
We are stronger and better together!
We really need a project manager type person to help me prioritize, so I can do what I do best and leave the community management to someone more skilled in that.

2024-06-03 22:10:56

The new @npub1gq5…qcul app compose experience is much improved!
You can even opt to disable optimizations to preserve your original photo!

There are a lot of new aspects that Groups bring to Pixelfed that are similar to existing microblogging platforms, such as:
- Text only posts
- Quote posts
- Markdown support
- Link cards
- Polls
And more exotic features like:
- Events
- Anonymous Posts (if enabled)
- Multi tenant/dual layer moderation
- Realtime Group Chat
They add significant complexity, but we’re doing this properly, following best practices
It will be worth it, just wait and see 😎

Pixelfed Discovery is about to get supercharged!
Install a new server, and it will fetch trending posts and accounts, populate hashtags and synchronize followers/following lists and counts using our new service!
Already have a server? Opt-in to many discovery feeds, profile and hashtag suggestions and comment/avatar backfilling with fine grained config settings.
We’re also improving hashtag federation and public/guest access, enabling non-users to browse trending posts and hashtags!
🧭 🚀 ✨

2024-06-02 14:52:40

The nice thing about the new @npub1gq5…qcul app is that image aspect ratios are preserved, so you don’t miss any details!
Sometimes they can be taller than your screen, or constrained in a carousel, either way we are adding native pinch to zoom to allow you to quickly zoom in without leaving the screen/feed position you’re on!
Available later this month on the App Store and Play Store ✨

We're cleaning up issues!
Reblogs aren't going anywhere, in fact I'm working on a new feed specifically for them, in addition to them optionally appearing in your home feed.

me: turns 35
my partner: omg I can't wait to tell everyone your in your mid 30's now
He is exactly 1 year younger than me 😩
I have the last laugh though, only 80s kids will understand (it was the best decade)

And if I'm wrong, and I hope I am, I'd love to see Instagram on the fediverse!
We serve a different userbase, being that we're basically the open source Instagram. Having the ability to follow your IG friends and family from your Pixelfed instance would be so ideal and amazing, I'm so here for that!

2024-05-25 13:17:02

They can't, because of that pesky thing called monetization and ads.
Even if they did, it wouldn't be what you'd expect. Look at how many Threads users haven't enabled federation support.

2024-05-25 13:07:36

The ironic thing about the whole Meta/Threads federation fiasco is that Pixelfed doesn't meet the requirements of Threads federation because we don't have a public firehose feed.
I really don't care about Threads, so maybe this will be fixed or maybe not.
Pixelfed isn't a microblogging platform, and I feel dumb for even getting involved lol

Loops is special in so many ways, being open source is the most important one.
I've published the skeleton and will update it with runnable code in the next few days.

Wow, Taylor Swift joined Threads and has 9M+ followers already!
Her account has not enabled fediverse sharing yet, but if/when they do, I'm eager to see how the fediverse handles it.

Just had a really nice and productive chat with [@stux](https://mstdn.social/@stux)
We're on the same page and will be working together to build out our short video vision across our platforms
#Goldfish + #Loops = 🚀

2024-04-02 13:12:40

I honestly do feel guilty about [@loops](https://pixelfed.social/loops) success when just a week before I reached out to [@stux](https://mstdn.social/@stux) and offered my help to build a mobile app for GoldFish
I don't want him to lose interest in #GoldFish and all the hard work he's put into learning front and backend development
I stick by my word and will write a basic GoldFish app and teach him native app dev and he'll be one of those unstoppable fedi devs in no time 😎
Collaboration > Competition
❤️

2024-04-02 12:57:29

Don't get me wrong, I love Mastodon and everything it's done for the fediverse
That being said, I don't want Loops to become the only short form video platform, or the only well known one
I'm working with [@stux](https://mstdn.social/@stux) on his own short vid platform called #GoldFish and PeerTube to enable seamless interop
We're stronger and better together
There is no reason NOT to work with "competitors" because when you have the right mindset and goals:
You build for the people, and listen wisely.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, most of y’all don’t know what it’s like to be a fediverse developer of a popular project and have to deal with all the negative feedback and personal attacks
Let’s be nicer to the devs of the fediverse who have been doing this mostly unpaid for the greater good, all I ask is for basic respect!
Anfora, Prismo, Firefish and dozens of other projects have been abandoned by their devs, and I’d bet the fediverse mentality towards devs is part of the reason

I'm kind of obsessed with the #fediverse
I've been working on [@pixelfed](https://mastodon.social/@pixelfed) almost every day since April 2018
I've learned a lot, and am still as dedicated to, and excited for the fediverse as I was when I first started Pixelfed
I know I've made some mistakes along the way, but y'all have been quick to point em out and help me grow and fix issues accordingly
This really is a labour of love, for the people.
Y'all keep me energized with your feedback and positive vibes. I really appreciate it. ❤️

Good news regarding the pixelfed matrix channel!
The managing director of Matrix has joined and mentioned a possible resolution to our admin permission issue!
I'm really hopeful we can resolve this issue and make it our main chat over discord.
I'll still be present in Discord, but I'd like to encourage Matrix use as it better aligns with our project.
