ok maybe the rest of the fediverse isn't ready for my bad karaoke loops videos so I deleted it, but don't worry loops fam, we don't judge on loops!
I don't care what you think, my voice is beautiful!!!

While I love being a lone wolf fedi developer, having nobody to discuss development with gets lonely My partner, friends and family are not devs, so I resort to our discord and matrix channels to excitingly explain my dev related ideas, progress and thoughts, but it's rare to get a reply Maybe I should settle with AI, I'm not looking for friendship or general convos, rather more technical discussions related to the context Not being able to explain/share how proud you are of your code sucks

  @dansup I know what it is. I've been running my own business for 4 years now ( @SkypLabs ) While it gives me almost infinite freedom (typically I'm currently on my way home from a 5-day bike trip abroad), I fully work alone from home or cafés. Sometimes I wish I could talk tech with someone on a regular basis, share ideas, and get feedback. AI is not an option for me. Besides being far from real human interactions, it has privacy issues, and consumes a sh** tone of energy.  @dansup I dig chatting about code and keep meaning to set up a local env to fiddle with pixelfed, what's the discord your speak of? I missed chatting with fellow fediverse developers regarding interop, specifically for our upcoming Groups feature! It's a nice break from solo dev to be able to chat and catch up with other devs, especially my russian brother from another mother @grishka (maybe he will follow me back one day 👀) I've also reached out to Lemmy devs and plan to get in touch with kbin/mbin and friendica/hubzilla devs soon. Thanks to @NGIZero for funding the Pixelfed Groups feature, it will be a game changer! ❤️ We are processing a huge backlog of applicants to pixelfed.social, we apologize for the delay. Once we get through them, we're re-opening registration as we can't keep up with curated onboarding 😅 Pixelfed Groups + Lemmy + Kbin + Smithereen We're implementing federation support in Groups before we ship this huge feature!

@pixelfed FYI I’ve heard on the grapevine that Kbin isn’t being maintained anymore. I’ve switched to Mbin myself some time back. Either way Groups sounds great! 🙂👍 @pixelfed clubsall has added support for activitypub https://www.reddit.com/r/RedditAlternatives/comments/1ddwan3/reintroducing_clubsall_with_new_features_and/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=mweb3x&utm_name=mweb3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button will it be compatible? Mailgun has only gotten worse over time, luckily I found a new mail provider for @loops and will be switching over my other sites soon I'm moving to https://resend.com

  Why do people even use "mail providers", why is that a thing? Just set up postfix on your own server. Takes an hour or two to follow the instructions to configure it, and then you never touch it again.

  @dansup I think there will be a lot of use cases for this. Amazing work so far as always 🙌  While refactoring Pixelfed Groups, I wrote a new media processing pipeline that supports libvips and more formats, as well as the logic that handles optimizations, it no longer strips exif data and preserves color profiles and HDR support It also uploads to S3 and deletes the local copy during the request lifecycle! I plan on using this in the main app too ✨ Pixelfed Groups are coming along, and I'm hoping to ship v1 this weekend! We're targeting Lemmy support and the Groups FEP for now, I cant wait to ship this 😎

 I did a bunch of refactoring to separate Groups comments, hashtags, likes, media, statuses and other models from the main app for performance reasons, so it will be another day or two before it’s ready! Pixelfed Groups will allow admins to have fine-grained ACL permissions, you will be able to limit specific user permissions! In addition, admins will have the ability to review all moderation actions from other mods/admins and all actions from the account. Later we plan to ship support for webhooks, allowing admins to deeply integrate Groups into their platforms or services!  @dansup nice! Would replace "create posts" and "create comments" with "post" and "comment", respectively.

  I'm making @pixelfed Autospam more intelligent ✨ I'm doing this in a local, self-host, and privacy friendly way, I'm not willing to integrate AI into Pixelfed or depend on 3rd party APIs. We can train data locally on a specific type of pattern for Autospam Suggestions which would group reports for easy mass action handling and much more The more you use it, the more efficient it becomes, like the core Autospam feature, and you don't need to rely on ChatGPT or any 3rd party service for this.

One thing I want to point out about https://pubkit.net is that I know a service like this could be easily abused! This is why you will have to verify ownership of servers you want to test against It can be a text file or DNS record, and in special cases, I can make exceptions for devs who want to test against instances they can't publicly verify The point is, PubKit will be opt-in, and won't require a fediblock, services like these can be done right 😎 |
