Hello @pixelfed fam, are you ready for the launch of our app?

Beta users will soon see our new Starter Kits feature, starting with iOS TestFlight users.

"But Sir, what about our poor Androids"

Snaprails

@dansup @pixelfed That depends. Will it fix the longstanding things that are currently broken? Such as replies to comments not displaying? And the report feedback facility within the app crashing the app?

pixelfed

Starter Kits will be huge. @pixelfed

They will be compatible with other software, where compatible!

@dansup very exciting! Looks fantastic, really useful for inviting friends!

@dansup that's a great idea. It really bridges the gap regarding new platforms friction.

pixelfed

don't mind me, I'm over here celebrating and wondering how loops accomplished:

- 9k users in its first week (a fediverse record)
- multiple 3rd party clients within hours of the APK release
- tons of press coverage before anyone seen the app

There were some hiccups and I'm still working on the much anticipated 8th build, but we did it!

We made fediverse history together.

I'm so proud ❤️

@dansup oh there's an apk download? Gotta get my brother and friends right on there. An F-Droid release at some point would be neat too.

@dansup
Hi Dan, speaking of fedi history, I have some questions.
1) Has it been integrated into the fediverse yet?
2) Can we block videos/creators from our feed yet?

Joshua Evan

@pixelfed how about a paid feature to create a portfolio and be able to connect a domain name to it?

pixelfed

Shoutout to @nlnet ❤️

I'm working on finalizing the @loops grant and once that is ready, I will be able to get paid for my development of #loops

Who makes bank? You, the fediverse.

Thanks to @nlnet, you will have a viable open source federated TikTok alternative.

So go remind your political representatives to support NGI/NLnet funding if you live in the EU!

Spread the word + please boosties 🚀

When I was a kid I was obsessed with electronics and technology.

I would take things apart just to see if I could put them back together.

Then in 2016 I joined Mastodon and two years later started @pixelfed

I was an autobody technician, and now I’m living my dream as a developer.

And it’s thanks to you, the fediverse. You pushed me to believe in myself and become a better leader, dev and person.

I am forever grateful and am dedicated to pushing the social web forward ❤️

@dansup thank you for all you are doing for the Fediverse, Dan! 🙏

axleyjc

@dansup @pixelfed Awesome! I also took things apart to understand them. Didn't always work... If only there was YouTube when I was young!

Were you successful in putting them back together? My track record wasn't so good ...

pixelfed
The web player and share links will be shipping soon!

Reminder that I'm still actively working on Pixelfed, not just Loops, and shipped some pretty cool features over the past few months, like Profile Carousels last month.

@dansup Thanks for the great work.

Any hope for a post scheduling feature? Like a post queue? So many photographers work in batches but the nature of their workflows but want to spread out the sharing of content over time.

I would post so much more if this existed. I'd still engage plenty. Probably more (this is how Tumblr works for me now)

artfulrobot

@dansup hey, I keep trying pixelfed but the login button on web (ffox android) does nothing when pressed. On pixeldroid the home tab scrolls for a hit but quickly runs out of content. Don't know if that's deliberate?

If you don't want to get feedback over masto, fair enough, please ignore 🙂. thanks for your work on what looks v promising!

PensivelyCohesive

@dansup Any news on accepting more signup applications on pixelfed?

pixelfed

loops.video is now a week old!

Over 9000 users have uploaded 1775 Loops and posted 1110 comments and hit the like button over 14600 times.

This will be another big weekend for #LoopsDev#loops

@dansup I must not be getting it. I don’t see any good way to curate the type of content, so it just feels like rolling a random die on the entire user base’s videos. It this what TikTok is like too? Seems hard to get attached to it.

Adrián

@dansup Congratulations, the application is fantastic! However, the videos have no sound... I don't know if this is normal.

Remy Rose

@dansup Loving it!! I'm on the android version. It's roughly about as buggy as beta things usually are, not a huge detraction at all.

Oh, should I start regularly re-downloading a new APK, or will it let us know when there are updates?

pixelfed

What would you like me to prioritize in the @loops app?

@pixelfed I can't download the app for android, is like the page for download don't exist , here I post the error page from Mull browser (in chrome is the same)

@pixelfed Loops should be made illegal, it started wasting my time already! /jk

pixelfed

I just looked at a bunch of photos of cats on @pixelfed and I feel slightly better.

Loops iOS users:

We decided not to enrol all users into the TestFlight, rather make it opt-in so there isn't any wasted seats (by Android users).

Join the TestFlight via: loops.video/beta/app/ios

Linux Is Best

@pixelfed@mastodon.social I sometimes get the impression that the development behind PixelFed (and by extention, Loop), does not like Android users. That is unfortunate.

pixelfed

We added links to our Loops Android and iOS app on our website!

Someone joined our Discord to post that @vidzy was a better alternative to Loops.

It's not a competition on the fediverse, because no matter where you are, everyone wins.

I love supporting fellow #fediverse projects, and look forward to working with the Vidzy team on federation and potentially a universal API so clients will be interoperable with both Loops and Vidzy.

You should follow them, they need more visibility ❤️

@dansup @vidzy For one, they have a Matrix space instead of Discord. So at least, they value their community, which is a good start.

Emanuele Cariati

@dansup @vidzy There's also @raels a TikTok-like federated social. Compatibility between them would be great!

This attitude is one of the things I love about the #fediverse ❣️
