Pixelfed Stories are one of the most anticipated features, with high expectations. I understand this and am working hard to make them perfect for you. Smooth animations, beautiful design, and the polished experience you deserve. Your patience means everything! 🙏 ✨ #pixelfed #Stories

I'm ready to cry tears of joy, after several attempts and years trying to get Stories working like the familiar Instagram Stories, I finally got it right with layers, mentions, links and text 🥳 I have some backend work to wrap up later today, then I will be merging it and shipping a new TestFlight release with Story support!! 🚀 We will likely see some edge cases and bugs, but that's why we're only releasing to TestFlight, once fixed, we can promote to prod ✨ Composer vs Final Federated Image

"Dan barely uses his own platforms" I use Pixelfed like Instagram, and only post my best photos. I'm a fediverse developer and post more on Mastodon because I like to share updates and gather feedback. Apparently this is why you "shouldn't use Pixelfed" because I post on Masto more. I say ignore the haters and use what you love. That's what makes the fediverse so special, wherever you find a home, you're still just a follow, like or comment away ❤️

Loops will be moving to Codeberg, with GitHub as a mirror!

Codeberg.org

loops

The federated short video sharing platform.

Mastodon could really use tombstone placeholders when a reply is deleted so the tree/chain isn't broken or orphaned. I've implementing this in Loops, and it is a bit tricky federation wise, but it makes the experience much better. #loops #activityPub

Shoutout to @lain for creating Pleroma - arguably the most technically ambitious fediverse project. From ActivityPub innovations to sponsoring ElixirConf, they've put their money where their code is. The fediverse needs more builders, fewer critics. #activityPub #fediverse

So on the way back from #FediCon we stopped in Jasper because I told my partner I wanted to take some pics. I asked him to face the mountains, and then got on one knee, and when he turned around I said: "This journey together has meant a lot, and I want to spend the rest of my life together with you, on it. Babe, will you marry me" He said yes! ❤️ I haven't seen him so happy in a while, and he hinted at this before, but I wanted to propose somewhere special And I did

He said yes! ❤️ We’re now engaged! 🥳

After weeks of broken CI, I fixed it ✨ Feels amazing to be working on @pixelfed again. No more teasing features or promised updates, I will only share new features or updates after they have been shipped/deployed. Hope you have a great day 😁 #pixelfed

I do kinda regret not putting more effort into my #FediCon keynote. After watching @Evan Prodromou keynote on the first day, I left the conference right after to go back to my hotel and spent 6 hours improving my keynote, and it still wasn't long enough lol I was so nervous that I didn't even make jokes or engage the crowd, and I will work on that for my next talk. I loved @npub1uq5l...z8a5 and @npub17gq5...8hhz talks because they knocked it out of the park with their humor and talking points. I'll do better next time 😅

Huge shoutout to @@reiver ⊼ (Charles) :batman: for organizing #FediCon You did an amazing job bringing so many people together and giving a platform for so many important voices in the fediverse!
