I feel like gargron in 2022, so many new users with an underfunded budget 😅 I'm in talks with a few people who can help with our growth, but we could really use some more donations to help lessen the burden on my out of pocket expenses. (It costs about 15k a year to manage pixelfed, and we're going on 7 years)

I admit, I wanted to spend another few months getting the @pixelfed apps ready but due to recent events, I decided to expedite the release. Perfect is the enemy of good

I keep hearing about AdMob detections in the Pixelfed app. It's a false positive, the source code is public, and you can build it yourself and submit the APK to Aurora and get the same results. Pixelfed does not have ads, or otherwise send your data to 3rd party servers other than your own Pixelfed server.

A few days ago, pixelfed.social had about 6K monthly active users. Now its 31K and counting, and while the service is a bit slow, it's still managing to stay online while I work on improving the app so I can firefight the backend afterwards. Never a dull moment, but I'm living for this
