Like the moon reflecting the sun's brilliance, my own light is but a reflection of the constellation of stars – people like you, who embody progress and hope.

You are the celestial bodies around which developers like me orbit, finding meaning and purpose in your gravitational pull.

A social symbiosis where your inspiration fuels our creations, pushing us to reach for the stars.

❤️

In case you forgot, I also happen to run the Fediverse People Directory!

It's over 3 years old now, and I will show it some love with some well deserved updates next month!

ActivityPub Starter Kits update:

I'm making exceptional progress and am wrapping up a few things before I prepare to launch this exciting new service!

ICYMI: I'm building an open source/self-hostable Starter Kit service that will allow fediverse users to safely build kits and share/use them with ease.

#starterKits #activityPub #fediverse #onboarding

Starter Kits proof of concept app will be released later today 🚀

Will be leveraging the trusted FediDB.org domain for this!

It will be compatible with Mastodon, Pixelfed, Pleroma and a few other projects.

Should @pixelfed explore adding native support for Bluesky/AtProto?

Feedback wanted!

Canada Post is on strike, and guess who gets paid via mail?

Your support would be greatly appreciated at this time, I hope the Canada Post strike ends ASAP!

I'm really proud of the ecosystem I'm building around @pixelfed

We have some really innovative features that are unique to our platform, and are powered by microservices like:

https://api.fedidb.org
https://beagle.pixelfed.net
https://fdroid.pixelfed.net
https://push.pixelfed.net
https://recovery.pixelfed.org
https://versions.pixelfed.org

With @loops and @supapp on the horizon, you can expect a few more 😎

I really need to blog about this, because I'm having a blast 🚀

Hello @pixelfed fam, are you ready for the launch of our app?

Beta users will soon see our new Starter Kits feature, starting with iOS TestFlight users.

#pixelfed #starterKits

Starter Kits will be huge. @pixelfed

They will be compatible with other software, where compatible!

don't mind me, I'm over here celebrating and wondering how loops accomplished:

- 9k users in its first week (a fediverse record)
- multiple 3rd party clients within hours of the APK release
- tons of press coverage before anyone seen the app

There were some hiccups and I'm still working on the much anticipated 8th build, but we did it!

We made fediverse history together.

I'm so proud ❤️

#loops

Shoutout to @nlnet ❤️

I'm working on finalizing the @loops grant and once that is ready, I will be able to get paid for my development of #loops

Who makes bank? You, the fediverse.

Thanks to @nlnet, you will have a viable open source federated TikTok alternative.

So go remind your political representatives to support NGI/NLnet funding if you live in the EU!

Spread the word + please boosties 🚀

#loops

When I was a kid I was obsessed with electronics and technology.

I would take things apart just to see if I could put them back together.

Then in 2016 I joined Mastodon and two years later started @pixelfed

I was an autobody technician, and now I’m living my dream as a developer.

And it’s thanks to you, the fediverse. You pushed me to believe in myself and become a better leader, dev and person.

I am forever grateful and am dedicated to pushing the social web forward ❤️

#fediverseDreamer

Just because I can build and ship multiple projects at once, doesn't mean that any of them are lacking due to it.

The ages of my projects:

- https://Pixelfed.org (6 years)
- https://Fediverse.info (4 years)
- https://FediDB.org (3 years)
- https://Pubkit.net (2 years)
- https://Loops.video (~1 year)

Not to mention the half dozen microservices I run to keep the vibrant @pixelfed ecosystem running.

Not everyone is built the same.

Some of us are more driven than others 😎

The Lemmy developers are hypocrites

The Mastodon project is working to reduce the load on instances by building opt-in centralized services like the ability to fetch OpenGraph/oEmbed data from a single source, rather than from the origin, solving the DDoS problem.

The Lemmy devs claim to be decentralized, but are running a centralized server directory, smh 🙄

Pixelfed is proudly working with @Mastodon on this btw, collaboration not isolation is key.

Share your favorite #lemmy alternatives ⬇️

Reminder that I'm still actively working on Pixelfed, not just Loops, and shipped some pretty cool features over the past few months, like Profile Carousels last month.
