@dansup does the instances search rely on searching from start of the domain?
e.g. I can’t search “.sg” and have all instances that end with the .sg TLD come up, and “sg” doesn’t seem to actually filter much results if any

@dansup All cool, but if i select any specific platform like mastodon.uno the graphs shows only the last 14 days, which (unsurprisingly) make them look flat ➡️

Pretty excited for these fediDB.org improvements

Being able to see more details about versions, or sort software servers by MAU/Status/User counts will be useful

It be a lot of fun to transform all this fediverse data into various visual forms 😁

Shipping soon!

I spent the most time on the donut graph color palette

Coming up with 20 distinct colors isn't as easy as you may think 😅

@dansup hey, is it possible to request to refresh fedidb.org/network/instance/ko index? we have ensure the server is hosted in Singapore. it’s still showing United States.

The banana flavor toothpaste from Hismile is worth it, feel like a damn minion when i brush my teeth 😂

If only it was edible...

@dansup good news! they recently came out with a banana-flavored product that is edible.

A rare Canadian House Hippo spotted at @pixelfed HQ

Only 90's kids will understand 😎 #houseHippo

dansup

@pixelfed before anyone asks, yes I got this in a kinder surprise

Fuck what anyone says, you are never too old to get excited when surprised by a kinder surprise by your partner

If this isn't real love, I don't know what is. Kinder Surprise are like christmas for adults too 😁

@pixelfed So majestic, his name is CozyChompsAlot and if I didn't already have an animal mascot for Pixelfed, he would be the one.

He's now on my desk, doing hippo stuff and reminding me constantly about shipping the iOS app 😅

@dansup @pixelfed

I remember it — although I'm a 1970s & 1980s kid.

I haven't thought about that (Canadian) commercial in a long time 🙂

Implementing a few suggestions to fediDB.org, I had to take a break from the @pixelfed app, still frustrated over the TestFlight situation

Hello @dansup :)

Are the server thumbnails / banners cached somewhere for an amount of time, for a better speed load ? Or are they pulled directly from origin / remotely?

dansup

I guess I'll be dropping everything to focus on the @pixelfed iOS app release

I'm tired of these TestFlight issues, and only needs a bit of polish for the initial version

@dansup @pixelfed @jamesthomson James, your TestFlights run like a charm; may you give some advice to Dan please?

Sascha Foerster :bonndigital:

@dansup @pixelfed And please allow us to pay for the app. :) At least via In-App-Donations.

dansup

ffs Apple expired all my TestFlight builds AGAIN, now the third time

Trying to stay calm, and not drop iOS support entirely...

Emelia 👸🏻

@dansup I suspect they might think that you're trying to circumvent store rules or something; are people giving feedback via the app?

dansup

Nice Apple, "The developer removed you from the test program." has people thinking I personally removed them from the @pixelfed TestFlight beta when it really just expired!

Sorry y'all!

@dansup LOL I was wondering, but I thought it had to do with my new phone.

Jeremy List

@dansup @pixelfed I just tried to rejoin the public beta and Testflight said said "Beta not found. There is a problem with the public link URL. Contact the developer for more information"

dansup

It seems like removing the Lemmy spam logic in fedidb.org led to a few obvious lemmy instances with huge spam counts being treated as accurate.

I wish lemmy got their shit together, not a good look fam

Just going to re-add the lemmy fix, idc if lemmy.ml user count gets treated as spam, this is pathetic.

Danie van der Merwe

@dansup Beehaw.org's admins also published a post last week moaning about their suggestions for improvement to Lemmy just not being taken up, and that the Lemmy devs are really slow to improve spam management, etc. Beehaw was contemplating forking off from Lemmy, or starting their own network (hopefully ActivityPub I commented).

I do not like this new Slack design, is there any way to go back??

@dansup everyone and their grandma donning a chat client seems to be doing an overhaul these days - like there's an upcoming Prom of Chatclients real soon now. And everybody hates their new clothes.

dansup

Is it just me or did Mastodon contribute sharedInbox to the ActivityPub spec?

#MandelaEffect

dansup

I've found a few perf issues in @pixelfed accounts with 1k+ followers

Fanout and audience delivery are two tricky aspects that require more work, I'm working on this, and exploring ways to make pixelfed <-> pixelfed federation even more efficient!

#pixelfed #activityPub #federation

dansup

I just want to mention that Mastodon has set the gold standard for this.

We take a lot for granted, like the MastoAPI, Webfinger, and sharedInbox.

These are not defined in the ActivityPub spec, these were contributed by Mastodon/Gargron.

The sharedInbox extension enables instances these large, which is a good thing, most people don't want to install Mastodon to have to use it.

dansup

I do run 2 other @pixelfed instances besides pixelfed.social

- piconic.co
- pixelfed.art

I plan on opening up registration once the moderated registration feature is ready

Similar to Mastodon manual review sign-ups, :pixelfed: admins will be able to review #pixelfed registration applications

dansup

While it may seem a bit odd that @pixelfed supports text-only posts in home feeds in the form of reblogs, I think it's a good compromise.

You can also opt to only see photo/video reblogs, or hide reblogs all together

dansup

We're not planning on adding text-only post creation on @pixelfed.

Mastodon, Misskey, Firefish and others do a better job at microblogging.

Groups will allow you to create text-only posts, but those won't appear on your profile.

@dansup @pixelfed NGL The interface looks great, even better than Mastodon imho

"i'm really thinking about deinstalling pixelfed"

It was unfortunate to see this, especially from someone who's been with us for a few years

I admit I've been so busy with FediDB, Sup, PubKit and other projects that I haven't given @pixelfed the attention it deserves lately

I was able to resolve most of their complaints, and I'm working on fixing a long standing bug affecting multiple filters on the WebUI

I'll do better to balance my resources, please bear with me ❤️ #pixelfed

Dave

@dansup I appreciate all the hard work you're putting into these projects but please take time to look after yourself.

You've got nothing to prove and everything to lose.

narF 🎲

@dansup Do you have other people helping you? Are you the main driver on all these projects?

dansup

Fixed and updated, fedidb.org graph irregularities are gone!

More graphs + stats coming soon ✨ #fediDB

[DATA EXPUNGED]
James J Malcolm

@dansup Looks much better! It's super tricky.

One thing I spotted: the MAU MoM looks like it's increased in the graph, but shows negative in the top - shouldn't it be +110k vs -225k?

dansup

Less talk, more code!

I'll be sharing a feature a day on @pixelfed and behind the scenes progress via Pixelfed Stories on @dansup@pixelfed.social
