Can't wait to release the Loops app source code this week, we could use help improving it, especially android/react-native developers! We have a vibrant community growing, and with more help with the app, I can focus on preparing the backend for release so people can host their own loops server! Loops.video is a testing ground, but soon you will see other Loops servers, and hopefully more 3rd party clients. Rust/Go/Node folks who are itching to rewrite the backend, me too, lets chat ✨

The Pixelfed family of apps includes Pixelfed, Loops, Sup and a few others in development. We're not just a one trick pony, I have a vision for how we can replicate the most popular platforms and give them back to the people. It all starts with you, the community. Not only do you have a voice, but it doesn't require shareholder or board member status to make that change! Are you with us? Boost for humanity. #pixelfed #loops #sup #fediverse #peoplePowered #peopleOwned

To make it easier for users to login and sign-up to your :pixelfed: server, we are adding QR codes to each landing page! Once scanned, they will take you to a deep link in our app that will select your server for you and you can opt to login or sign up. Available soon. #pixelfed

@Pixelfed strives to build safer communities for everyone with each of our products ✨ Our huge Moderation Update will be released later this month. Stay tuned. #pixelfed

Direct Messages are back on @Pixelfed and I'm working on a few other fixes before we tag a new release! ✨

We're working on a FEP for ephemeral Stories in @Pixelfed They have federated since 2021, but we are refactoring them to be more feature packed and better defined! Shoutout to @infinite love ⴳ for stewarding this effort, Stories are quite popular on IG and Snapchat.
