I wrote a laravel package to add federation support to various internal @pixelfed projects like FediDB and PubKit

I might just polish this up and ship it, so laravel devs can add federation support with a few lines of code

the fedify of php ✨

#activitypub #laravel #fedify #php

@dansup is there any way you can write it in native php and make a Laravel wrapper? I often use no framework, and it also opens the possibility for example to make another wrapper like symfony on top. @pixelfed

@dansup @pixelfed Can we see it already? Might come verrrry handy soon 🙂

dansup

The reason FediDB is the way it is, is because it was originally started as an ActivityPub test service

I had to manually add public software listings, and all the data which is why it only shows a fraction of the actual software

Open sourcing this means we can crowdsource the missing data and provide more coverage and better data

Having a public API of software like api.fedidb.org/v1/software is pretty cool, but we can do better 😉

dansup

I'm really looking forward to getting caught up and shipping Groups, and app updates so I can move onto Loops, Sup, fediDB and fediverse.info

It's really been bothering me that fedidb.org is ugly, slow and sometimes poorly represents the data

I look forward to refactoring FediDB this summer, and open sourcing it so others can help improve it, the current "theme" prevents that atm, so I need to (and want to) redesign it

dansup

I never expected fedidb.org to become such an important part of the fediverse, and with all the historical data and usage, it deserves a proper and open source implementation, which I really look forward to 😁

The more I grow as a developer, the more I realize the "magic" of performance is really just more fancy loading states

Григорий Клюшников

But also being smart about preloading data in advance. And caching. And knowing the cost of your abstractions.

The latest @pixelfed app version is noticeably faster

Compared to v1.0.0.45, the new app is near instant, but it's not instant

Not yet 😎

@dansup @pixelfed Can I download it now or is it still invite only?

dansup

Groups, Push Notifications and Stories up next 🤠

✨Pixelfed App Tip:

If you see a post that includes "Last Edited ...", you can tap that to view the edit history!

We built a beautiful history viewer that makes it easy to see exactly what was added or removed!

Available in v1.0.0.65+

@pixelfed
Isn't that kind of a problem if I , say, accidently enter my Password because I work in multiple windows?

The same applies to other maybe sensitive data that were entered accidentally.

With the history everyone will see that data. Or can a user disable that feature?

dansup

It’s true that Pixelfed has a bus factor of 1

Every fediverse project is beholden to a single BDFL

Don’t let that distract you though, as platforms grow, so do contributors

@dansup just please don't die in the next 80 years.

@dansup Oh God!

Not this again. I had this constant worry in my last employed job. I was the only person looking after the entire e-learning platform, and broke into a sweat whenever I saw a bus go by.

I begged my line manager to stop asking the department head what would happen if Kevin (me) was hit by a bus, and instead ask what would happen if Kevin won the lottery and left. 🤷‍♂️

I updated the beagle.pixelfed.net service which @pixelfed uses to share trending posts, so even new servers have content on the app Discover page

I tweaked the Beagle Discovery algorithm to only include Mastodon posts with certain keywords so you only see beautiful photos and art on the Discover feed ✨

I want to take a moment to acknowledge people in this space that give me joy. This is not an exhaustive list, and I’ll probably add more entries over time.

@evan - you are an absolute joy to talk to. Your energy and optimism are infectious, and the hour and a half talk we had for the upcoming podcast episode filled me with so much hope.

@snarfed Your attitude, creativity, and thoughtfulness are hugely inspiring. You care deeply about doing the right things the right way, and I respect the hell out of that. You are also so freaking handsome.

@dansup You work on so many amazing things, and still take time to hang out, talk, joke around, and laugh with me. I consider you a true friend.

@damon You are a wonderful person that I take great pleasure in knowing. It has been wonderful building We Distribute with you, and you have been so supportive during some really tough times. I can’t wait to see what Memory becomes!

@quillmatiq It’s so fun to talk to you, and pick your brain on stuff we’re writing and what’s going on around the space. I love how motivated you are with your newsletter, and your willingness to dive deep into subject material is something I greatly admire.

@laurenshof You are delightfully quirky, funny, and deeply introspective. I love your dedication to consistenly publishing The Fediverse Report. Also, I love your accent.

@cwebber You are one of the smartest people I’ve ever met, bar none. I feel stupid compared to you, but I have a tremendous amount of respect in your dedication to building a better Fediverse. Spritely is such a big idea, and I would love to see it take off.

@jalcine I know we only meet in person one time, but our meeting really stuck with me. You are so smart, and so funny. Just good vibes all around.

@dustin Thank you for enabling my worst instincts and leading me to build Brands Town. Your sense of humor and insights often crack me up.

@sun we’ve known each other forever. I just want to thank you for your humor, your jokes, and your heartfelt way of being.

@mikedev you are a fucking genius, from my point of view. I admire so much of what you do, and so much of what you’ve done. In many ways, you have helped shape my understanding of what the Fediverse is capable of being.

@radiofreefedi You are a fucking awesome person who is so willing to call things for what they are. Your support for artists in the community is profoundly inspiring. I will always love Radio Free Fedi.

@lain Your shitposting is legendary. You are still a total enigma, but you are hilarious and awesome. I miss listening to Lain Radio.

@jesseplusplus Every interaction I’ve had with you is so heartfelt, supportive, and kind. I loved learning about Frequency, your motivations for building it, and what you’re going for. You have a beautiful heart.

@deathkitten You have been so kind and supportive to me over the years, even when I’m hitting rock bottom. Thank you for always being there, whether I’m laughing or crying.

@sqhistorian I love your videos! You’re so amazingly funny and talented, and your game ideas have made me laugh until my belly hurt. Thank you for highlighting a very bright part of my childhood, Sierra adventure games.

@ethicalrevolution Your dedication to radical kindness and gentle demeanor really left an impression on me. It’s always refreshing to hear from you!

@rabble Even weeks later, I’m still basking in the afterglow of our interview with you. It was so much fun talking about the history and movements that led to this space today, and you blew my mind with so many things you said.

I want to take a moment to acknowledge people in this space that give me joy. This is not an exhaustive list, and I’ll probably add more entries over time.

@evan - you are an absolute joy to talk to. Your energy and optimism are infectious, and the hour and a half talk we had for the upcoming podcast episode filled me with so much hope.

@dansup @pixelfed I really liked this style logo on the app. Can you put it back please?

@dansup @pixelfed aku install pixelfed BETA di android, ketika ingin mengupload sebuah video entah kenapa semua videoku tidak muncul, hanya foto saja yang muncul, jadi aku tidak bisa mengupload video. aku pengguna android dan instance pixelfed.tokyo tetapi ketika aku menggunakan app pixeldroid aku bisa mengupload video.

@dansup @pixelfed

I'm really stoked for the new app! Is there a list of features that soon will be added to the new app version? E.g I'm currently missing the filters of the old version of the app 🤔

If you update to the latest @pixelfed app version, and the app still crashes when you open it, it means your server is running an outdated version and needs to be updated before you can use the app.

The minimum supported version is now v0.12.1

Spread the word! #pixelfed #pixelfedApp

RodolfoRG

@dansup @pixelfed but it shouldn't crash.
It should report what you just posted here :)
Congrats for the current achievement btw

Homer S.

@dansup @pixelfed Yeah, that has been reason for the things I complained about before. Didn't check my instances version for some time. And now after upgrading it - the App also works great in addition to looking awesome 😎👍

@dansup @pixelfed this is also an example of why clear documentation/context need is to be canonically practiced in the Fediverse, so as to make sure onboarding/maintaining smooth user experiences as ongoing....

dansup

Pixelfed Starter Kits will federate and be compatible with Mastodon and other platforms*

You will be able to create and manage them via our app!

I am also writing a FEP for this 😎

* - via a 3rd party intermediate app for non-Pixelfed servers

I installed it the other day, other than not being able to set the avatar, loving it. It handles the large images that mastodon doesn't like and that alone is HUGE

Just makes me want our own instance of pix.mpaq.org more 😊

@dansup is this similar to Bluesky’s ones?

Trying to maintain the reputation I have for rapid development, new projects and marketing isn’t easy, but I love it ❤️

I’m driven by the once in a generation opportunity to build and collaborate with the best and brightest minds building the next generation of social media

Y’all are not only part of this journey, you also shape it’s direction, and it’s amazing to consider how anyone can help or contribute to a fediverse project, simply with feedback

We’re literally building the future 🚀

Sascha Foerster :bonndigital:

@dansup Can’t wait to tell all my friends about it and make it reality, now! 🥳

#HarrisWalz2024

@dansup This is the type of creativity I love hearing about.

I may not know much about marketing but I would love to help share your vision on your different projects with the fediverse.

@dansup well, it's already well-established. Don't push yourself too hard trying to maintain such a pace. :BlobhajSmile:
