Currently working on some bug fixes in @pixelfed, as well as some webUI + backend improvements like support for `authorize_interaction`

We're almost ready to cut a new release 😎

I've worked hard to ensure MastoAPI support in Pixelfed, and while I know i'm not guaranteed access to 3rd party clients, it's not a good look.

All I can do is work to improve MastoAPI compatibility and hope they change their mind.

@dansup I don't understand. What's the context?

Edit: After some investigation, I found the issue and was mistaken, it was not intentional. My apologies.

@pixelfed @digitalocean DigitalOcean has awesome tutorials for setting up a number of applications. Will they be creating a tutorial now for setting up a Pixelfed server on DigitalOcean?

dansup

ah yes, Pixelfed the social media protocol 🙄

Pixelfed is not a social media protocol, we use ActivityPub

@rabble please fix your slide (also you could add XMPP which is used by @movim )

@dansup

rabble

@dansup the point of the slide was to say people keep reinventing the wheel. There is an air table version you’re welcome to help keep up to date. Later on I get in to categories of these protocols and projects. There are many sometimes compatible protocols built on top of AP. In a big list on this one slide without what I said, you lose all the context.

@dansup And no mention of Mastodon protocol? Very concerning

I've never done a video interview for @pixelfed or any project before.

Wouldn't it be amazing to make history with my first-ever interview on @loops, conducted by a truly Fediverse-focused media platform like @hello?

Imagine the significance: the first Fediverse interview by a Fediverse-first media publication, distributed across the Fediverse itself.

That would be something truly historic!

@dansup @pixelfed @loops @hello would love to see that! also an interview with you and @mike on @dot_social

@dansup I didn't think the tiktok style looping videos was great for interview content? Only for like teasers and excerpts..

The @pixelfed Curated Onboarding feature is the perfect balance between closed and open registration.

Not only can you more easily vet applications, but we also support email notifications to admins when they successfully verify their account.

If you want to request more info, simply use the default message template, or define your own to reuse, and your request for addl info will be sent to the applicant with a magic link they can use to respond with.

Pretty cool eh!

@metapixl Isn't the curated onboarding feature just so amazing?

I'm working on some improvements btw 😎

Joel Rennie and I are proud to be helping bring a little wizard magic to #PaxAUS 2024 in October!

My wonderful GenerOZity.charity events team will be fundraising for blackdoginstitute.org.au/ at the Wombat Theatre! Bring your shanty voice and let's keep it weird!

Have fun, bit much those kind of things for me now.

Man goes to doctor, says "Unable to decrypt message".

Doctor says, "Treatment is simple. Matrix protocol is great. Go try it. That should pick you right up."

Man bursts into tears. Says, "Unable to decrypt message... Unable to decrypt message!"

Григорий Клюшников

On the upside, it's 100% secure if no one, not even you, can decrypt it.

dansup

Interesting, this almost looks legit

Except for the fact we don't have any public apps, and I'm not able to enable IAP (in-app purchases) until I link the appropriate company documents and bank accounts (which also requires you to have a public app)

@dansup I work for an insurance company and word for word I’ve received emails like this before. lol

@dansup Very strange, as it does really seem legitimate. I get some that look pretty darn close though.

I will be submitting a #FediForum application so I can demo my new @loops app!

Fingers crossed it gets accepted 🤞

I have no doubt it will be accepted but wishing you luck nonetheless 🍀🤞✨

looking forward to it!

as the fedi grows, so do the biggest players

it becomes increasingly more difficult to gain (widespread) awareness of your project

devs of new or smaller projects, mention me in a comment to your project post and add the hashtag #fediPayItForward, and I'll boost and spread the word! ❤️

@dansup

We are a 2 people team making a real handheld game console. It will be FOSS, indie, privacy-respecting, ads-free, and sustainable.

Mastodon is the first social media account we registered and the most active one. We believe that you can build a big (and certainly the best) community here, with several thousand followers. So far we only have 56. Boost and follow, prove us right ;)

I'd love nothing more to find a trusted team to delegate Loops development to, once the platform is stable.

You could be the project manager of the fediverse TikTok that would operate independently of Pixelfed and my influence, applications will be open to all!

But first, let's ship the app 🚀

#loops #fediverseTikTok

dansup

"why is @pixelfed focusing on a TikTok app"

"shouldn't they be focusing on the main app"

The main app will have to handle video, @loops was born out of an experimental video only TikTok like feed in the official app.

We can do both, and do them well, considering we can reuse a lot of the Pixelfed code (and do) in Loops.

Pretty cool what you can do when you don't limit yourself to others expectations 😎

dansup

@loops tl;dr

- loops is the fediverse TikTok
- you can run your own loops server
- you can allow pixelfed/mastodon users to login to Loops using existing local account
- the API is pretty extensive, allowing 3rd party clients to have same access as official
- video storage can be handled by separate hot/cold bucket/caches and more
- the loops mobile app/backend will be open source before release
- the "algo" will be very basic
- open to working with others, come join @loops

dansup

psst: you didn't hear it from me, but the cool thing about the loopies, you can connect a @loops server to your @pixelfed or @Mastodon instance and handle login with your local users, while maintaining a separate db/storage for loops.

pretty spiffy if you ask this random guy with no connection whatsoever to the project
