A new TestFlight build is out with a fix for the app crash affecting most users. Album carousels are temporarily unavailable until the next build, instead you will only see the first image. 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 🚀  @dansup Can’t wait to tell all my friends about it and make it reality, now! 🥳  @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: I’ve had a pretty stressful week, until yesterday. I took advantage of the stress and relaxed all week, ignoring the self-imposed deadlines and coding, and instead spent time with my family It’s important not to lose focus, while maintaining some sense of balance, and I’m going to dogfood this advice: You need a vacation, don’t be afraid to take a day or two off Spent all night tracking down a bug in the @pixelfed app that is causing crashes on startup While it would be so nice to be able to use a 3rd party service like Sentry to more easily track bugs & crashes, I'm not willing to sacrifice user privacy in this regard So I will start writing tests and setup a CI pipeline to help catch regressions, while keeping the app free of 3rd party APIs

 Maybe something from this list is usable? We're aware of the app crash issue in the latest TestFlight build, and we are working on a fix that will be published shortly!

 Pixelfed + Groups ✨ https://github.com/pixelfed/pixelfed/pull/5215 Shipping soon! Special thanks to @NGIZero for funding this game changing feature! I looked into Glaze support for @pixelfed, and sadly it's impossible to integrate due to the license and lack of SDK/api Interesting to note that the first version of Glaze was broken by advances in AI so they are on the next version (which could break at any time) so it's not really a long term solution IMO I wouldn't be surprised if Cara's huge AWS bill is due to Glaze

@dansup @pixelfed They made a post about the cost and traffic a few weeks ago. Might be Glaze, which is turned off now on Cara.  Happy Caturday! We bought this cat bed months ago, he’s never sat in it 😂 He will sit everywhere else though

 I have found exactly one thing for a cat that it was worth spending money on. It is ridiculously simple & inexpensive. I bought them for every cat lover I like. Other than this one toy, they prefer socks, boxes, strings, & paper bags https://www.chewy.com/frisco-cardboard-wire-teaser-cat-toy/dp/187914  **knock on door** me: hello, who is there groups: hey, we have your order from 2021 damn, it's time That music your parents used to blast on weekends when everyone was cleaning and doing chores that you hated at the time, but now those songs are your vibes Oh time, you shady bitch!  it's ironic that people seem to forget that by leaving walled gardens, you are no longer protected by a central entity the fediverse is a wild wild west, don't have expectations for what you publicly publish unless you can enforce that at the software/protocol level

 @dansup the best and worst part of the Fediverse is how much control individual users have. Control == responsibility.  @dansup Thankfully we can't stop facebook coming to the Fediverse, however much I despise them. It's an odd sort of comfort. Dear future historians: Don't mind me, I'm kinda obsessed with the fediverse 🤪 Blame me for: I'm just tryna make this place better 😎 @dansup It's a beautiful thing Dan. You have been contributing and helping to shape the fediverse You can't ignore the strength of ActivityPub and the fediverse. Pixelfed has nothing to gain and everything to lose if it shifts from its open, fediverse-focused direction to seek VC funding. I've turned down several offers. I'd rather be funded by y'all on a shoestring budget than sell out and have @pixelfed lose the very luster that made it shine. It's your impact that makes our project shine. Forget profits; y'all are the true shareholders.

 It feels pretty good to build a platform and ecosystem that others can profit or benefit from From grants + donations to server hosting, there are several people and entities that are building a biz or getting funding for their Pixelfed focused endeavors! I think that is awesome, and signals the ongoing success and growth of @pixelfed 10 years ago I was running a StatusNet instance on Hyperboria (that didn't federate with clearnet) Now I'm running Pixelfed on the internet (that federates with Threads) Funny, how the threads of fate weave us. From isolation to connection, progress, this is. 🚨 PSA for Pixelfed for Android users: If you see this message, or other messages indicating your version isn't supported, it means you have the old app installed. Uninstall the app, then install the new version via: Google Play: https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.pixelfed F-Droid: https://fdroid.pixelfed.net/fdroid/repo/ Please spread the word, and boost!

@pixelfed wow no. Theres no reason for that kind of extremely bad support for older versions. This worship of constant new versioning isn't a problem for users to fix, or be a party to fixing. @pixelfed I may just be missing it- but is there a way to enable dark mode in the app for Android? |
@dansup @pixelfed
It would be nice to be able to replace the photo too.
@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 🤔
