The new @pixelfed app is so much faster, just see for yourself

We're re-writing our app from scratch using the latest tools and best practices to provide the best photo and video sharing experience in the fediverse 🚀

The new app will be rolling out to Android users soon ✨

Omg, I fucking love Digital Ocean ❤️

Hands down the best hosting provider for devs and fedi admins

Ruh roh, the hashtag police are out, hide yo hashtags!!

While Pixelfed has a max hashtag limit of 60 per post, a majority of posts contain less than half that

I checked the reported account and the hashtags they use are related, and the account has thousands of (legit) followers so who am I to play hashtag god??

If you get offended by the # or context of hashtags, maybe they aren't the problem 😬

I'm a bit frustrated with Android at the moment, I've spent hours tonight trying to upgrade the Pixelfed app to the latest RN version (and the tons of deps we use)

I'm nearly there, I can feel it... 😅

Stop platform hate, create or collaborate

The #fediverse isn't perfect, it's the best solution we have

You can make a difference, simply by participating in a project/platform and suggesting ideas or reporting bugs

You don't need to know how to code to make this place better, but if you want to make a bigger impact, it does help

We need to stop shitting on fedi platforms like Mastodon and see the fediverse as the competitor to centralized social platforms

Between Pixelfed, Groups, Loops, PubKit and Sup, I'm struggling to meet my self-imposed deadlines to a degree that I'm delaying several journalist interviews

I was planning on working on Loops tonight, however I noticed our Pixelfed TestFlight build expires in 13 days so I had to jump back to the Pixelfed app, and now I'm working on Push Notification support

It's not a big deal really tho, I work better under pressure and love these challenges

Press: Pls wait a min, til we're ready to shine ✨

Working on @pixelfed app push notifications!

Admins: We're working on the Beacon service that will proxy Push notifications, make sure you set a public contact email so we can message you when it's ready for your instance!

Service: https://beacon.pixelfed.net

Preparing a new Pixelfed app build for TestFlight and Android 🥳

dansup, 1 month ago to random

It's rare to see such popular @pixelfed posts, you love to see it!

I'm working on some big improvements that will make Pixelfed easier to use, and with near feature parity with Mastodon!

Push Notifications, Share Intents and more will be shipping to our official app very soon 🚀

✨ Improved Loops Share menu

Now with a new "Not Interested" button to help train the For You feed along with Bookmark and Report features!

✨ Iconic Onboarding

With Loops, you will be able to take advantage of your Mastodon (or Pixelfed) account to find friends based on accounts you're already following!

Discovery is crucial, and we're making it even easier ⚡️

Loops is open source, and as such, I think it's a bit naive to spread rumors about data privacy when I haven't even pushed all the code yet.

I'm not some start up, I don't give a heck about your data, I just like building cool things for cool people

That being said, I know I don't always make the right decisions, and look forward to community feedback so we can find the right solutions, together!

I'm not a regular mom, I'm a cool mom 😎

I've seen people mention that the Loops push notifications are dark patterns, and that is not my intention at all

I'm not encrypting the notifications and they can be collected by various parties (NSA, Apple, Google) so I didn't want to include any more metadata than I needed to

Hope you understand!

Loop video urls will be super short!

ex: loops.video/v/5jM_jMRGuYbLc

Notice no username? That's because we plan to support username changes ✨

"Someone you know (@pixelfed) joined Loops!"

Just imagine how easy it will be to grow your Loops network graph with innovative features like these!

We're just getting started 😎

Loops has a simple For You algorithm to show relevant interests and topics, it will get better over time like my Autospam algorithm!

The way it works is pretty clever, using a combination of on-device machine learning and nlp we use plenty of “signals” to classify content and associate it accordingly.

This is more than just short videos, helping people discover relevant content is crucial to our mission and I look forward to building the best fediverse For You feed 😎

Why is Loops getting Push Notifications before the Pixelfed app?

Complexity, in Loops its under 50 LoC for Push Notification support since we are using Expo Notifications.

For Pixelfed, we need to build WebPush support in the backend, and then setup a proxy server.

That being said, I expect them to land in Pixelfed later this summer!

Push Notifications have been added to @loops

I have some clever onboarding and networking features in development, it will be a very fun and eventful weekend I think

https://loops.video is a very promising ActivityPub platform for short form video, and could use your financial support to help fund and sustain this initiative!
