I started a few fediverse initiatives over the years that I lost focus on and I'm not going to let that happen again, I promise 😅

2018 - Started writing an ActivityPub guide that inspired garg to write the infamous https://blog.joinmastodon.org/2018/06/how-to-implement-a-basic-activitypub-server/

2018 - Started planning ActivityPubConf which later became APConf

2019 - Started the socialhub forum

2020 - FediDB

I feel like I should mention that this project is heavily inspired by projects like Mastodon, and uses similar copy and representations in some places.

I hope @Gargron doesn't mind, in the event he does, or other projects do, I will rectify it.

It's important to me that we keep this as unbiased as possible, as much as I'd love to use this to pixelfed's advantage, I also realize that this represents something bigger than pixelfed and me.

This new side project feels like it could be bigger than pixelfed, and I love it.

Being able to contribute to the fediverse outside of pixelfed is a good feeling, and I really look forward to stepping back and letting the community run this new project. #fediverse #activitypub

Been crazy busy with #pixelfed development lately, I decided to take a break and work on something else for fun.

Inspired by an expiring domain, I started building my idea of a bespoke guide to the fediverse.

Can't wait to launch this, I think y'all will love it! #fediverse #activitypub

Love Burial's new album.

A stripped back collection of songs that tease the familiar dance, dubstep and grime undertones of his signature sound.

It brought me to tears the first listen, the overwhelming joy and emotions experienced was intense. I don't know why, but I really vibe with his music.

The story behind the new UI (Metro 2.0) is interesting.

I was building a new feature with its own UI last Aug.

I wanted to share screenshots, so I quickly designed a new Metro UI that better integrated with and would showcase this new feature more prominently.

The feature was Groups.

I assumed that I could release groups and then work on the new UI but after seeing how well the groups UI worked, I decided to delay groups to focus on what would become Metro 2.0.

Glad I did. #pixelfed

Mastodon's trending algo should surface trending hashtags faster than it does IMO #mastodev

I give #DawnFM 8/10, it's pretty good. House of Balloons still on repeat 10 years later though. #theWeeknd

Good Morning! :blobcatcoffee:

RIP #BettyWhite

You.

The person reading this.
A member of the fediverse.
Wanting more than the status quo.
The social construct and expectations.
Participate and predicate.
Everything you can.
Build the future.
You are.

You.

For the past few years I would spend the winter holiday working on #pixelfed features that would be released on Christmas day.

I wasn't able to do that this year, and I feel bad about it, but I promise I'll make it up to you!

I got spoiled this year! Two of my biggest fans gifted me custom Pixelfed apparel and art.

I know I said before it seems like my family and friends don't support me as much as I'd like, but they really do. ❤️

Merry Christmas! 🎄

When you view post likes, you'll notice it now shows accounts you follow first. It just makes sense. #pixelfed #metroUI

Good Morning fediverse

Only one more sleep until Christmas eve! 🎄🎅

It's the heavy snowfall warning for me, it does feel a lot like Christmas though 😁
