Refactoring @loops comments

We're going to limit threading to 2 levels max and handle federated comments accordingly.

(dont mind the flexwrap issue pushing the like button off screen, that's about to be fixed!)

@dansup Hello ! The app is not recognising metapixl.com as a valid server although it is version 0.11.13

@pixelfed

When are notifications going to become a real thing within the app?

Alexander

after my instance updated to the current version, the beta app works great

Did you know you can post photo or video Stories to your @pixelfed account using our official Android or iOS app?

I just posted one about my extra large hat lol

@dansup @pixelfed je le savais même pas qu'ils avaient leur propre application officielle sur quel store est-elle téléchargeable sur Android

Fun fact, Pixelfed was the first #fediverse project that NGI funded back in early 2020 😎

@dansup super excited about Loops, best of luck!

Been thinking about #MusicDiscovery on Fedi, and Loops could be a game-changer here… Like a “save music” bookmark button to revisit an artists’ music link later?

TikTok has an “add to Spotify” button now but the algorithm lottery is a head-melt for artists. If we had a real alternative, it would be a life-raft for the arts rn💜

Thanks so much for your work, legend

I ended up combining text and icons for the comment action buttons!

Thanks for your feedback ❤️

@dansup I am not a tester, but from the screenshot, I would expect the "reply" arrow to point the other direction. Pointing to the right usually makes me think of "forward"

dansup

Edit: Went with a combined text/icon!

mastodon.social/@dansup/112180

Text vs Icon buttons, I think the icons look better, wdyt?

@dansup Maybe you could make it adjustable in the profile what the user wants to see. And the initial decision would be made during onboarding.😅

Daniel Barber

@dansup Both, but also please right align them so they’re consistently positioned on each comment

Updated the @pixelfed website mobile apps page with the Google Play badge/link for our Android app 🥳

@dansup @pixelfed is there any difference between versions?

Snail

@dansup @pixelfed What's the best way to provide feedback on the Android app?

Strike that, found the placeholder github repo

Loops now has comments!

We should be ready to onboard beta testers this weekend 🚀

@dansup Would it use existing Pixelfed login or need a whole new account?

@dansup How would one sign up to be a beta tester?

@dansup This is awesome! Could you also please post it on F-Droid app store? I personally only download from there these days, only open source apps. I have de-googled my phone. Thx!

@dansup I pre-registered, says it will auto-install once it's available 😁

@dansup the server I'm on doesn't support pf, my login details I had with Web version doesn't work anymore.

Pixelfed Loops and PeerTube Shorts...

just imagine 😍

@Chocobozzz you down?

Let's work together on federation, we could do so much together ❤️

@dansup @Chocobozzz I already have a couple short form videos uploaded to my #PeerTube instance to test compatibility with

@sc07_shorts / sc07.tv/c/sc07_shorts

@dansup @Chocobozzz And if this could be timed with the TikTok Ban bill that'd be fantastic for the fediverse.

@dansup
What about getting addicted? I'm a bit concerned about this, because I had to fight a terrible addiction to YouTube (in general, but also shorts) a year or so ago. Twice.

dansup

Loops + c2s would be a perfect match, few activitypub implementations support the client to server model.

🤔

#loops #loopsDev #c2s #activitypub

Ben Pate 🤘🏻

@dansup Go for it! It’s always seemed like a chicken-and-egg problem: nobody builds C2S servers because there’s no clients, and nobody builds clients because there’s no servers.

If you could get even one good client off the ground, it might bootstrap the whole C2S ecosystem.

And I, for one, will absolutely follow you there. I’d much rather build a solid C2S server instead of implement the Mastodon API.

dansup

My plan for Loops was to use your Pixelfed account for auth, and thats all good and all but when it comes to federation, I think this warrants a separate followers collection.

I'm considering either creating a new outbox like collection for Loops that are delivered to all followers, or a separate account with its own outbox and follower collections.

What are your thoughts?

@dansup When I first got into Fedi, I wanted to — and was frustrated I couldn’t — post from one account to all the things, but came around to the value of having different accounts for different services for different interests.

James J Malcolm

@dansup many of these different social media’s (microblogs, personal photoblogs, personal video shares) have different circle of friends, acquaintances, random people you’d want to share them with.

One way to enable that is separate (external) account names, an other could be what (I think) Google+ did with its circles & what Insta kinda does with “close friends”.

I don’t know the best solution, but just wanted to add my thinking on the topic.

Patrice

@dansup You can always do an OIDC flow. That allows you to have a common login and identity for those who want it but still have separate accounts

dansup

Push Notifications + Share Intents are crucial and I won't make the same mistake again.

The #loops beta will ship with push notifications, and in a few weeks share intents.

We will send push notifications for every like, follow, and comment (and eventually mentions, duets and reacts) and you will be able to toggle each one in the app if you prefer to limit them!

@dansup when are going to be available the Push Notifications for Pixelfed?

Share + Search have been implemented in @loops

@dansup great work,
looking forward to trying the beta :)

@dansup Thank you. Everyday I’m more amazed - whether it’s your progress on #loops or #pixelfed - I’m really looking forward to seeing the final releases on iOS.

Григорий Клюшников

The sheet on the second screenshot should probably be titled just "Options". "Share to -> Share" is confusing, "Share to -> Block" even more so. It would also work better if you make these options icon-with-label buttons like these:

Love the hashtag badges in Mastodon!!

Took yesterday off from #loopsDev and watched a few episodes of Palm Royale. I love Allison Janney, it's a good show!

Unfortunately, its that part of the early morning where I must say goodbye, for I must work in a few hours.

Just imagine what I could accomplish if I was working on @pixelfed full time, assuming we have the funding.

@dansup @pixelfed Hey, I would love to support you, but I'm unable to donate anything but crypto due to certain conditions. If you had a Bitcoin wallet or something, I could help you with the project I love so much, Pixelfed became a part of my daily life (even when Instagram couldn't) and I'm really really waiting and excited for Loops.
I'm sure there are many people that would be willing to help you through cryptocurrency.

PMFL :coffefied:

@dansup @pixelfed i will contribute , even small donations go a long way if all contibuted he would be great for all the long run!

💪


@dansup @pixelfed Amazing, are you building Pixelfed all by yourself?

dansup

I'm in talks with @liaizon regarding the @loops project manager role.

I'd love nothing more than a trusted, dedicated project manager to take the reigns and tell me what to do/code so I can focus on what I do best.

The project manager would be responsible for gathering feedback, planning features and organizing accordingly.

I can only do so much, delegating a role like this is a big deal, and I'm all for it ✨

@dansup @liaizon @loops

This sounds awesome, and I really hope that you go through with this!

David - Forking Mad

@dansup@mastodon.social Very interesting. You may recall I said some weeks ago that you needed support to manage your project support and messaging. We said we'd chat about ideas, but it never came off.

Turns out, I have recently worked with
@liaizon@social.wake.st 😆 Waving!
