Misskey overtaking Mastodon?

Last month, https://fedidb.org observed Misskey's flagship instance report 3.9M new monthly posts, more than double the 1.7M that Mastodon's flagship instance.

Is this a growing trend, or could Misskey growth be due to spam?

Happy 5th birthday @pixelfed! 🥳

"I don't think Pixelfed needs to exist, use Mastodon"

Pixelfed provides a photo/video focused experience, and offers more features geared towards this (filters, collections, portfolios) than Mastodon does

You can use Mastodon or other platforms to share photos

When content is based around photos/videos, it's a much different experience

"I don't think TikTok or Instagram need to exist. Twitter supports photos & video"

Working on @pixelfed app onboarding!

"Hey Dan, What processes need to change to enable contributions to pixelfed?"

This is a recent DM I recieved, and it struck a chord.

I'm so used to working alone, and I realize that isn't healthy.

The state of our documentation is sad, and I need to fix this.

I'm going to move the docs to the pixelfed repo to be able to more easily update them, and the docs site will be updated to pull in the markdown files after each merge/build.

🚫 Competition
✅ Community

I've said it before, what sets the #fediverse apart is our community and #activityPub compatibility.

No matter what platform you join, we all win.

Pixelfed isn't perfect.

People like you help improve and shape the project in many ways.

I've replied to the harshest critiques and almost every time I'm able to resolve the issue and change the opinion of that person.

I ❤️ the fediverse

A few of my contributions:
- Started GNU/Social AP support
- Started Pixelfed
- Inspired gargron to write the "How to implement a basic ActivityPub server"
- Tried to organize the first ActivityPub Conference (https://mastodon.social/@dansup/100286631732546033)
- Started the SocialHub forum (originally socialhub.network)
- Started https://fedidb.org
- Started https://fediverse.info

5 years on, I still feel so lucky to be a part of this.

Long live the #fediverse

Made some improvements to the Pixelfed instance admin dashboard!

Now available ✨

Import/Export banned instances, subdomain wildcards and more will be shipping this weekend 😉

A single :pixelfed: server hosts 56% of all pixelfed accounts.

Yeah, it is my instance, and I'm the Pixelfed developer, but this isn't healthy or sustainable. This is why https://pixelfed.social isn't accepting new registrations.

✨ You can find an open server to join on https://pixelfed.org/servers
