 How do events work? In Smithereen, an event is just a subtype of group that has tentative membership and additional fields for the start/end time. The summer of #activityPub is near There are so many new platforms that I need to start crowdsourcing data for https://fedidb.org/software I hope you have sunglasses because it's about to get 🔥 Take advantage of a whole new dimension in the fediverse with Pixelfed Stories! - Stories can be posted from web or apps I have been called a "geriatric millennial" by my partner too many times, I've had enough. We must ban tiktok and save humanity from these devastating and cringey memes. how dare those gen z make some boomer term for us!!! we ran so they could tiktok!! Pixelfed has technically supported Polls for 3 years, however, I never finished the remaining UI components. They are now back on my radar and will be fully implemented as Groups and Stories depend on them!

I'm not kidding, @pixelfed has silently shipped Live streaming support over a year ago. I don't think it's ready for prime time yet, that's why I haven't advertised it that much. I'm working to ship this within the next month 🚀 https://docs.pixelfed.org/running-pixelfed/optional-features/livestreaming/ Pixelfed Live is one of the most overlooked features we have We're working on v2 with easier deployment, first class mobile app support and improved federation! ICYMI: Pixelfed Live = Broadcast Live from Anywhere, with Chat! @dansup Is that feature part of the official Android app? Or is it a dedicated app?  @dansup I think not overlooked but inpractical one due to the need of using yet another separate app on the mobile. If this feature will be integrated into the main app, probably the whole situation will be much better than actually is. People today are increasingly moving away from the need or trend for installing separate apps for every single, little thing. In the contrary, unification and integrity is the best possible way. Because fragmentation always was and will be a very bad idea. Pixelfed Groups are a major yet unique feature. You won't see Group posts in your home feed or public/network feeds. There will be a dedicated feed/page/screen for your Groups feed (that contains non-chronological groups posts) Each Group will have its own page, and you will be able to browse its feed chronologically or by most popular posts Groups will support text-only posts, comments, reactions and DMs however they will be separate Lemmy/Kbin will be supported, along with Smithereen 🚀 Another thing about the @pixelfed app you may not know: our Discovery feature uses a custom central API to show popular posts and accounts on every instance, even brand new ones! This feature highlights popular posts/accounts from pixelfed.social and mastodon.social in a clever way to ensure that every Pixelfed instance and its users can browse and discover content regardless of local content! I do plan on extending this feature later this summer 😎 Did you know the @pixelfed app uses a deduplication algorithm on the hashtag feed? Early on we identified a pattern of accounts posting the same content on their Mastodon/Pleroma account and again on their Pixelfed account. Nobody wants to see duplicate posts, and I’m proud of the complex yet elegant solution I shipped! It’s the small things and attention to detail that set us apart 😁 Kinda wild that ActivityPub is two years old now. I remember back in the summer of 2018 it seemed like a new project was announced every week.  ActivityPub was only finished in March of this year, its awesome to see so many new implementations. The summer isn't over yet 😉 @dansup here's a list, if you have any to add: https://ethercalc.org/fediverse-stacks  @dansup Yeah... dang! It's hard to believe just how much happened this year :O Excited to share that Ghost is going to federate over ActivityPub and become part of the largest open publishing network in the world 🎉

@johnonolan props to the informative webpage design! at first I thought it was just going to be a 'get early access' form.  @johnonolan not only am I very very excited about your upcoming federation, but this is an absolutely beautiful announcement post 😍 kudos! |
