threads is pretty clean and simple, I like the loading animation a lot. let's see how this goes lol
 We scorch the earth, set fire to the sky This was @pixelfed's first logo, the one I designed myself lol Two weeks after launch (mid June 2018), a logo contest was organized by the community with a cash prize of donations (80% of winners donated back to the project!) What an amazing part of our history, that was really special and energized my passion for this project! me to the designer who won the logo design contest (and $500) and turned around and donated the prize money to our project and still designed these amazing logos: hi, so funny thing... do you still have those other logos?? Trying to capture non-webfinger accounts/mentions or post urls (ex: hxxps://mastodon.social/@dansup) in captions on the app while handling non-fedi links and opening the browser is pretty challenging, if not impossible (unless you nodeinfo/webfinger every link before opening the browser) Probably not even worth it, but I'd like to keep fedi links in-app > you nodeinfo/webfinger every link before opening the browser Tusky does this and it works well.   I spent the majority of the evening trying to get the android #pixelfedApp to compile after upgrading RN with hermes and the new arch. You learn quickly when developing with React Native π On the bright side, this fixed the issues with the video editor, which I can't wait to ship!!! Splinterverse 2024 It's been a year since IG and Tumblr joined the fediverse, the fediverse has splintered into various groups of interop Everything is fine, as this was literally the point of decentralization Except for the karens who rallied against the "HOA" They become the HOA they were so against, trying to unify the "splinterverse" in their own vision Everything is still fine @dansup haha thatβs a good name for it. Should mention the birth of the atProtocol ActivityPub love child though atActivityProPub  @dansup lol itβs true, I can see βHOAβ rapidly getting cooptedβ¦ just like Karen π  @dansup Wait, has Tumblr actually joined? I know they announced plans but did they flip the switch? A year ago if you told me that Instagram would be joining the fediverse, I'd think your crazy. Let's not forget why they are doing this though, thanks to EU laws they have to make data portable, and with federation support they can portray their monopolistic practices in a different light. Meta is an advertising company, we are their next market to break into. Remember this.

There are benefits and drawbacks from using a centralized discovery service like Iβm doing with beagle. Yes, itβs centralized, but itβs a small price to pay for such a groundbreaking feature. Itβs complementary to our platformβs decentralized structure and I look forward to shipping this and am eager to hear your feedback! Pixelfed isnβt just mine anymore, and if the community feels this isnβt a good fit I will drop it, but I think there is potential here. Let me know!

  @dansup isn't it also the case for Peertube? If I remember correctly they also went that route with Sepia Search. IMO there's nothing wrong with this. As long as these trends and the way this is implemented is transparent and not tempered with. Thinking of "author_is_elon" π I closed https://pixelfed.social registration due to excessive spam signups, if you'd like to join, use the invite link below, it expires in 3 days! https://pixelfed.social/auth/invite/a/e7451e84-e89e-4181-afd0-2b01fa3ea7e5j  @dansup Should I be worried that I no longer see Pixelfed in TestFlight? It was the only app I had in there and now there's nothing and I need to enter a redeem code. I don't want to stop getting updates

  Wow, updating to RN 0.71 from 0.68 made the app noticeably faster. Still have some more performance tweaks to make so the Android app feels faster and more responsive!  @dansup as a dual iOS/Android user, I thank you dearly for putting so much care into your apps. It shines through in your work π I figured out the issue with Android and the video editor/Stories feature! Now this will get exciting, you will be able to add and remix custom sounds too, ala TikTok. Short form video has always been in our dna, though we havenβt given it the attention it deserves, with Loops, you will have a separate feed to browse with just short looping videos! Donβt want to see them? Hide them, and all videos if you prefer! Shipping soon to our Android app!

@dansup You are really going all out to give us a great service! Thank you! π   With nav menu VS without nav menu The latter looks cleaner, and will support left/right swipe to quickly change feeds

@dansup This looks sick! Love the better use of space. I am concerned new users won't be aware there's other menus though. Is there a way to add maybe a couple pixel high bar at the top where the nav menu would be? Something to prompt the user to swipe to show other feeds/indicate which feed you're on? Just a thought... |
@dansup it imported my bio from instagram okay
@dansup I would also like to test it but I can not install the app even via VPN - is probably still the German store and because of subscriptions I can not change the location.
@dansup They are taking so much information, it's a bad scene
