Updated the join link on https://pixelfed.org to point to https://fedidb.org/software/pixelfed until the new instance picker is ready. I'm working on a new instance picker that will be easier to use and filter instances based on interests. Stayed up all night working on :pixelfed: and I start work in a few hours, minds well stay up 😅 You can now filter :pixelfed: features on #fediDB! https://fedidb.org/network?s=pixelfed&pxf_stories=on&pxf_mobileapis=on  I might not be the best person to give advice on #activityPub development, but I do think experienced AP devs should be doing more to help mentor new projects and developers for the sake of the #fediverse. I'll never forget the times that @Gargron boosted my early Pixelfed posts, but I feel like we're not in that era anymore. Don't be afraid to ask for help, or be intimidated by follower counts. We all started something from nothing, and the real ones don't let ego define them 😉 "Thank you for listening This song means a lot to me. It helped me through a pretty difficult stage of my life and I still get emotional towards the end. "It's going to be okay, I promise you." Never give up. My province is slated to re-open without any restrictions by the end of the month if 70% of the population is vaccinated!! Can't wait 😁 #getVaccinated

@dansup I’m sure some like the trending posts in their timeline and it drives engagement, but it makes getting to older posts indirect, and makes me feel like I don’t have control of my timeline. (The fact that this trending list is often similar or identical means that this both messes up my curated timeline, and mostly fails to increase discovery after the first time.) I do like the indication that I’m caught up. Maybe instead of a link for older posts, have a link for seeing trending posts?   I can’t believe it’s almost been a year since I came out. I met the man of my dreams, we moved in together and even though he doesn’t like my Netflix choices, I feel so happy. Super grateful the fediverse has helped me accept who I am and supported me when I really needed it. Y’all are amazing ❤️ #pride #prideMonth I feel incredibly blessed that Pixelfed has grown so much over the past year. Total users, posts and active users have doubled, and our project is among the top 5 most popular. Though we haven’t had our viral moment like Mastodon or PeerTube, I’m confident that when we do, we’ll be ready. I look forward to the next 3 years and beyond! 😁 #pixelfed #activityPub #Fediverse

Asked some friends to use Pixelfed, they didn't know who to follow. Empty timelines is not good for onboarding or new user experience. Adding Suggested Posts to an empty timeline will encourage users to discover and engage with content without having to follow someone.

 The classic "you signed up, now what" problem. Will address that in Smithereen at some point too. @dansup good to see this getting added. Much as I despise the continual "you might know X" interruptions from Instagram, etc. the encouragement to follow more people and explore is a side-effect I'd like more of over here (and with *my* interests at heart, rather than those of some manager's "engagement metrics" 🙂 ) Am I right in thinking Pixelfed will federate with Mastodon, etc. as it's all ActivityPub? The new Home Timeline will keep track of what posts you've seen to show you posts you haven't seen. When you reach the end, you can browse Suggested Posts or View Older Posts!

@dansup If in the above section, you implemented a slider with people who may be interested, instead of the states of the people I follow like instagram (I prefer people to follow) ... it would be better
