Pixelfed.social MAU Jan 1, 2025: 6,865 Feb 1, 2025: 248,673 That's quite some growth, expect a new app update this week with several bug fixes and improvements! #pixelfed

Loops mobile app source code:

GitHub

GitHub - joinloops/loops-app: Mobile app for Loops

Mobile app for Loops. Contribute to joinloops/loops-app development by creating an account on GitHub.

The rest will be pushed shortly, just preparing a new TestFlight build ✨ #loops #activitypub

Loops.video

The flagship Loops server, a new creative community for sharing videos and going viral.

is now accepting new members! #loops

The fediverse really wants Loops to federate, but have you asked your admins how excited they are for the S3 costs? PeerTube be on this already, we need to leverage P2P and our upcoming global FediCDN to reduce the burden on storage costs. See, we really do care. And are going out of our way to make Loops a healthy and respectful member of the fediverse. Not only can we get this right, we can make it easier on servers of all sizes! Now let's free short videos from walled gardens ✨ #loops

I make it look easy, but it really isn't. Scaling a whole platform up to 600K users in a week isn't for everyone. My secret weapon: DigitalOcean. The best fediverse hosting provider hands down. (Until we launch one 😉)

DigitalOcean: AI-Powered Unified Agentic Cloud Infrastructure

Build on DigitalOcean's unified agentic AI cloud infrastructure. AI-powered development, instant deployment, easy management. Simple and affordable.

Could you imagine the progress if I worked full time on Pixelfed, Loops, Sup and PubKit? I have a full time job, so I have to balance that with all my projects. Wanna make history? Help us fund full time development on the future of ethical, federated and open source social media. I have a huge vision for the fedi, and I'm making great progress, but we need to accelerate it.

I need to stop engaging with the trolls. I'm just trying to build, and market my projects. I get a lot of hate for someone who's spent 7 years building open source fediverse software and services for everyone. Ya, I can be a dick sometimes, but you don't know how long I've had to deal with this. Nothing I do can appease them, even starting

RespectfulPlatforms.org - Digital Platform Charter of Rights

This isn't hate, it feels like jealousy. Even though I tried to make amends with all of them. I need to disengage and build 🚀

I wish I had more time to prepare for the Global Switch Day, so I am planning another one for later this year with a website, social media accounts and collaboration with other projects. #activitypub #fediverse

It feels like I'm dreaming rn, pixelfed.social really is the most active fedi server. I'd like to take a moment to thank all of you for making this possible! I dedicate this to everyone who doubted me and our community. This post is for y'all ❤️
