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.

@dansup I had an interesting idea for PubKit, I do want to open source the code but I'd also like to get some funding/donations while keeping the service free. The idea is to set a goal, say $15,000 of donations to reach before the source code is published, basically incentivizing the release by a set monetary goal. Wdyt?

@dansup Your work has (tons of) value. Service is free, you've done a lot for the community. "Love" doesn't pay the bills, though. You deserve to be funded. I believe the main problem is communication. How to say that in a way that doesn't hurt feelings, and make people realize you want to do better, but have a 24x7 limit + bills + social life is a constraint. As someone who will use PubKit for personal use, count on me to my humble money contribution on that.   @dansup Have a look at the #sponsorware model of MkDocs and mkdocstrings Also the #DelayedOpenSource of Sentry, with maybe a payment option for immediate open source access There are many schemes. What will surely burn you out is expecting people (let alone corporations) to "do the right thing" and then realizing they won't (in big enough numbers) Looking forward to onboarding more https://pubkit.net developers this weekend! Got a lot of positive feedback so far, and am looking forward to getting more so I can improve our products even more. Remember, PubKit will be opt-in so you need to verify ownership of your server/domain before you can send/receive activities to that domain, this will prevent abuse and ensure usage respects fediverse norms! When you live rent free in their head, you know you doing something right 😉 Some people block and spread hate, others build and create. While they cast shadows we shine bright ✨ Who is crazy enough to think they can challenge Instagram? Me. Us. Together we can 🚀 Happy 6th Birthday @pixelfed, let's make this summer one the fediverse will remember

@dansup@mastodon.social @pixelfed@mastodon.social any plans to publish the app on fdroid, or at least automate github releases? Seeing some pretty interesting projects apply to https://pubkit.net! More #PubKit updates after I'm done work! 🚀 Now the @pixelfed app is open sourcies, you can run npm i and build the app on your own device 🤓 https://github.com/pixelfed/pixelfed-rn/blob/main/src/app/(auth)/(tabs)/index.tsx This is the simplest the feed code will ever be, it's only gunna get uglier and more complex 😅 Fedi devs are either super smart and boring, or crazy and memorable it's not a competition, but girl 💅 Who is crazy enough to think they can challenge Instagram? Me. Us. Together we can 🚀 Happy 6th Birthday @pixelfed, let's make this summer one the fediverse will remember

@dansup@mastodon.social @pixelfed@mastodon.social any plans to publish the app on fdroid, or at least automate github releases? Some Pixelfed history that you may not know: I registered pixelfed.org on Apr 15 2018, 2 days before I announced it I knew I wanted to build a federated IG, but I spent hours picking a name and making sure the .com was available. I registered the domains/github org before I wrote a single line of code, this was a side project habit of mine at the time What I never expected was for Pixelfed to be more than a throwaway weekend project If it wasn't for the huge response from the fedi... If it wasn't for the huge response from the fediverse, I would have given up (like many similar projects did at the time) Y'all really inspired me to continue and evolve, most fediverse users don't realize the impact they have on projects and developers, especially smaller ones This is why I'm so open to feedback and love giving credit to the "smallest" ideas! This really is magic ✨ I wouldn't be the developer I am today without the fediverse Y'all have supported me so much You pushed me to grow beyond my comfort zone to learn and build things like https://loops.video, https://pubkit.net, and even hecking mobile apps!!! I'm forever grateful, and remain committed to pushing the fediverse forward at all costs We're just getting started I hope you remember to keep me humble, let's praise positive actions and growth, not developers like me This belongs to you ❤️

 @dansup Awesome! Just signed up, this could make building https://github.com/maybeanerd/selfhosted-api-trader-game/issues/524 a lot better of an experience. I know there are some UI issues with PubKit.net, it’s my first tailwind project so please bear with me 😅  @dansup did you use tailwind because that’s what Laravel Jetsream comes with by any chance? (I did the same thing 😂)

@pixelfed "Beta registrations" does that mean that this is not open?
@pixelfed Probably not the right place to ask about this, but is Pixelfed federation whitelisted?
I've had some Pixelfed users say that they're not able to search for or follow me (at this account) from their Pixelfed account. 👉 👈
