Push Notifications and Dark Mode are the last essential features in the @pixelfed app, and I'm working hard to ship them ASAP so we can finally release the app to the app stores.

We're so close fam 🚀

Made some improvements to the @pixelfed docs, lots more in store

https://docs.pixelfed.org/running-pixelfed/configuration.html

During the first few weeks of Loops, I want to find and assemble a team of creators who want to pursue monetization in a way that works for our platform, for example: monthly subscriptions.

To build a real and sustainable alternative to TikTok will require monetization, and together with the fediverse communities voice, I think we can chart a healthy way forward that puts a majority of compensation in the hands of creators.

Y'all will love @pixelfed #loops I think, even though we don't have an advanced camera or editing tools yet, you will be able to import videos from CapCut and other apps!

Push Notifications and Dark Mode have joined the chat.

App: When will you tell them?

Now. We're going to ship this huge new build this weekend!

Loops + @pixelfed mobile app

The next mobile app build will contain the new Loops feature, and you will be able to hide/disable it.

We are still working on the separate @loops project, however it will ship first in our official app!

I apologize for my earlier post regarding Ice Cubes and Pixelfed.

I should have verified the claims first, I was wrong and I feel bad for saying I couldn't suggest that app anymore.

I've updated the original post and shipped a fix.

Going forward, I'm working on some MastoAPI tests to ensure compatibility and will be more careful about what I say.

Dillan if you read this, kudos on the amazing app!

@pixelfed "While some see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do."

Pixelfed Portfolios are one of those "silent features"

Imagine being able to curate specific posts, along with the layout and background/text colors, on a seperate website with an emphasis on your content.

See for yourself:

I've never done a video interview for @pixelfed or any project before.

Wouldn't it be amazing to make history with my first-ever interview on @loops, conducted by a truly Fediverse-focused media platform like @hello?

Imagine the significance: the first Fediverse interview by a Fediverse-first media publication, distributed across the Fediverse itself.

That would be something truly historic!

#fediverse #loops #weDistribute

I will be submitting a #FediForum application so I can demo my new @loops app!

Fingers crossed it gets accepted 🤞

The @pixelfed Curated Onboarding feature is the perfect balance between closed and open registration.

Not only can you more easily vet applications, but we also support email notifications to admins when they successfully verify their account.

If you want to request more info, simply use the default message template, or define your own to reuse, and your request for addl info will be sent to the applicant with a magic link they can use to respond with.

Pretty cool eh!

@lain @cjd yeah, that would explain the dwindling market share.

just ask jeff bezos

I think our ActivityPub network will struggle with AI-based spam to a degree that will require adversarial detection at least, requiring resources that are out of reach for most instances.

This will lead to a curated onboarding mentality for most instances that don't have resources to detect bots, driving more new users to bigger instances, making them even more prevalent.

How do we fix this?

Together.

With a trusted/optional and free service for all.

I'm building this, join me!

There's a difference between pushing forward and burning out.

That's why I'm stepping back from strict deadlines and arbitrary release dates.

Pixelfed is a genuine community, not a business model.

We take the time to ensure Pixelfed is authentic and reflects the values of our community.

If that means delaying the release of the app to ensure proper safety tools, we'll do it without hesitation.

Together, we can create something truly special, and thanks for being part of this journey!

❤️
