I don't have many followers compared to some more established fediverse developers, but I will use my following to spread awareness of less known fediverse projects and initiatives when I can. If you have a legit fediverse related project or initiative you'd like me to boost, don't hesitate to DM me! We're all in this together, and fuck follower counts, we're all equals ❤️ @dansup This is the first time that I have not really cared so much about follower counts. Follower counts seem to be immaterial and don't matter in the #fediverse Kbam for Kbin is coming along! I suggest you follow @hariette and her app #artemis for now She is building an amazing Kbin app inspired by Apollo which is iconic, my app Kbam will be a bit different as I don't want to duplicate her efforts Fediverse app developers like her are often underappreciated, please let her know how much you appreciate the efforts of a Kbin app ❤️

@dansup I think she may have been private temporarily but not anymore Looking forward to what you’ll come up with. I love Apollo but I have 3 lemmy apps that all look like Apollo…. I think people are trying too hard to be an Apollo replacement when really they should try to be more original. I do need a kbin app though  @dansup @aakselrod @hariette Are the c2s APIs so different that one has to create apps dedicated to either #kbin or #Lemmy? It's such a pleasure to work on fediverse projects like @pixelfed, https://fedidb.org, https://fediverse.info and kbam! Really appreciate all the support, but don't worry about me 😎 I'm a burnout but I'm not finna burnout, being able to build projects like these is a dream and y'all keep me energized 🚀

@dansup  Tbh, the whole twitter rate limit thing is interesting from a privacy standpoint. Pixelfed has limited apis for anon users and required login for certain actions, and now I’m kind of conflicted. The point of this was not to create a walled garden, but rather to deter mass crawling, this is why we also return empty outbox and follower/following activitypub collections. Maybe a privacy friendly default with the option to make your public data more accessible via api is a better solution, wdyt?

  @dansup I would just question whether that's a feasible goal to achieve. Not sure how well it works with Pixelfed currently, but making content publicly available to anyone who wants to view it (even through other federated servers) may just be fundamentally incompatible with any reliable way to prevent scraping. And promising privacy features that are impossible to actually uphold may be counter-productive. (For instance, how Snapchat's ephemerality has always been possible to circumvent.)  @dansup Mastodon has an opt-in for search engine indexing. That seems reasonable to me. Nope, still getting errors, ffs. The error seems to be a "missing contract", so likely will require Apple to rectify this on their side, cursory googles show that others have had to reach out as well, so unfortunately, we have to wait 😔 Well it appears I have to contact Apple support in order to fix the TestFlight situation. My apologies to our iOS users 😒  Welp, accidentally just expired all my #pixelfedApp builds. Don't worry if you already joined, I just have to publish a new build and you'll get a notification. Just need to finish the comment UI refactor 😅 Love using ChatGPT when I'm stuck on challenging things, like regexes in React Native, I didn't know positive lookbehinds were not supported! I've used it quite a bit lately, it helped write a few https://pixelfed.blog posts too 😉 Back to #pixelfedApp development! Will be jumping back to kbam and the new fediverse.info microsite in the next day or two! New https://fediverse.info microsite rolling out soon, powered by https://fedidb.org data ✨ #fediverse #onboarding

 @dansup  Which other rich person did he take out while going down and staying silent? (And where is the silent part?)

@dansup The only other kbin app I know of is Artemis (formerly kmoon). And yes it has a very Apollo-esque UI. I’m looking forward to your take on things! I'm looking forward to both of them. They are bound to be worlds different, and will offer more options to a wider range of user's preference.  @dansup Thunder (https://github.com/hjiangsu/thunder) is current favorite for Lemmy if you're looking for more inspiration :) Excited for Kbam though - you make my favorite stuff on the fediverse!

 Augh! So torn over this! On the one hand, I *love* that someone is making a mobile app for #Kbin, who I have confidence can do a great job, however... I do worry about the pressure you put yourself under with all these side projects @dansup ... I do hope you'll remember to work on fostering a developer community, so it's not all on you, feeling like the whole thing will collapse if you need to pull out / scale down to look after yourself. Anyway, despite this looking forward to #Kbam! 💥 |
@dansup Vive y deja vivir.
@dansup my headcannon it’s that they are just jealous: if they can’t have it, like petty children, no one can
@dansup Insecurity does not work that way, sadly.
