It seems like removing the Lemmy spam logic in https://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.  @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).

 @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. 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. I do run 2 other @pixelfed instances besides https://pixelfed.social - https://piconic.co 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 "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 Fixed and updated, https://fedidb.org graph irregularities are gone! More graphs + stats coming soon ✨ #fediDB

 @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? 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 Omg, we literally died of laughter watching Salt Lake last night. Mary is so iconic and funny without even trying 🤣💀 #RHOSLC #RealHousewives The missing ActivityPub dev toolkit is coming along! https://pubkit.net #PubKit #activityPub #fediverse #shippingSoon

@dansup we could really use this for the Enigma 1/2 ActivityPub integration. Looking forward to it! I get why most fediverse developers keep a low profile I still don't see myself as one of them, I'm a self-taught gay indigenous developer It's okay to be different. I really appreciate the kind words regarding my last post While I don't usually get overwhelmed, lately I've been really feeling the pressure regarding Sup, PubKit, FediDB, Groups and the mobile app release The pressure of friends, family and my own partner wanting more of my time, and they've been really patient, but I need to ship these ASAP. I guess the imposter syndrome I've been feeling lately is probably related to my guilt of sacrificing my social life for Pixelfed, and questioning it

I also feel guilty about even talking about this, because these problems pale in comparison to what other people are struggling with I don't want you to feel sympathy for me, there are plenty of more deserving people with real actual problems That being said, I really appreciate all the support and will stop complaining, I have a lot of privilege and I get that   As much as I'd love to participate in FediForum, I still struggle with imposter syndrome I know I'm doing stuff, but because it's mostly PHP I can't help but feel like everyone still sees @pixelfed and everything else I do as a joke So glad to see all the interesting FediForum presentations, and hope that one day, maybe I can present too! #fediForum

  @dansup Dude! I was attending and I'm a nobody who's not even a programmer, who hasn't shipped anything. (i'm just a fediverse enthusiast person!) 😅 You've made like 5 entire products!!! You're way too hard on yourself! Anyway, I actually hoped to see you there. I hope you'll be there next time! 😄 There were some great conversations about moderation, which I'm sure you would have enjoyed! I have temporarily disabled some stats/graphs on https://fedidb.org until I have time to review and verify the methods I use to generate statistical data/graphs are accurate, as there are some questionable results being presented The way I store FediDB data means I can regenerate stats using the original dataset without any loss of data or stats, so don't worry about that! #fediDB Aggregate counts and per project graphs and stats remain accurate, for example https://fedidb.org/software/mastodon I should have this fixed next week! |
@dansup LOL I was wondering, but I thought it had to do with my new phone.
@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 @pixelfed why dis you remove me tho 🥹
