The EU has supported me, @pixelfed and @npub1wa2m...zalq more than my own country! I’m forever grateful to @npub1n8y6...l96n, our patrons, kickstarter backers, open collective and liberapay donors for funding us and helping sustain active development for all our projects. It isn’t easy or cheap to build, run and maintain a dozen fediverse projects, but your support has really helped. Thank you. Your support is needed more than ever as we build a better TikTok ❀️
Loops Sound Library will be powered by a separate (open source) microservice that syndicates audio + music from 3rd parties. We will run an official service, but you will be free to self-host your own (for you and/or other Loops servers) Help me name it! Boosts appreciated ✨
I get the jealousy of Pixelfed users when they see how amazing Loops is progressing. What they don't see is what I've been working on behind the scenes for Pixelfed. I'm not teasing or promising anything, I learned my lesson. It will arrive when ready, without screenshots, and ready to use πŸ˜‰
I'm so excited for #Fedicon2026, I had a blast meeting some of you in person at this years FediCon, and hope more of you can join us next year! I wish it lasted longer, the after parties were lit πŸ”₯
2025 was huge for the #fediverse Mad respect to all the devs, artists, and community members making this movement unstoppable
Introducing the new Loops project website! #loops
This isn't my project β€” it's ours. Together, we're proving that social media can serve people instead of exploiting them. #loops image
I'm taking a break from Loops to fix some recent federation issues in @pixelfed While I'm at it, I'm also fixing some old bugs like proper cache invalidation in Notifications, improved support for libvips and other file formats, and more! Shoutout to @npub1y5cn...y986 for shipping a ton of bug fixes too, we make a great team ❀️ Stay tuned, we'll be tagging a new release this weekend with a ton of federation + UI/UX fixes #pixelfed
I owe a lot to the Fediverse - it's given me purpose and community. ❀️ Beyond @pixelfed and @npub1wa2m...zalq I’ve also built: β€’ https://fedidb.com β€’ β€’ β€’ β€’ β€’ Want to help me keep building tools that serve users, not shareholders? I’d be deeply grateful β†’
I'll be optimizing the Loops app for F-Droid and also @npub168yq...upza The app should be available everywhere πŸš€ It's proudly AGPL licensed
