sup. is an open source encrypted fediverse instant messenger, similar to whatsapp, made by pixelfed.

The beta will be launching later this month, and btw most fediverse accounts will work, not just Pixelfed 😉

It's a sad day for fediverse apps as the lead developer of @Tusky resigned today, please take care of yourself and most of all remember that we're all human ❤️

@pixelfed I will be demoing this in an hour or two on pixelfed.social!

Have your mastodon accounts ready 😉

✨ Better onboarding

Pretty soon you'll be able to sign up with your Mastodon account, or use it to sign in on @pixelfed

Calckey and other platforms will launch later!

Threads will be released on July 6 apparently

Kbam for Kbin is coming along!

I suggest you follow @hariette and her app #artemis for now

She is building an amazing Kbin app inspired by Apollo which is iconic, my app Kbam will be a bit different as I don't want to duplicate her efforts

Fediverse app developers like her are often underappreciated, please let her know how much you appreciate the efforts of a Kbin app ❤️

✨ KBAM 💥

This is going to get interesting!

pixelfed.social registration is closed until further notice

you can find another server to join on https://pixelfed.org/servers

Excited to start my #kbin mobile app this week!

It will be open source from the start, and I'll be blogging about each daily milestone and the behind the scenes of development.

It will be a nice change from my usual workflow, and maybe I'll get better at blogging 😁

FediDB.org will be unlisting Lemmy instances with excessive spam accounts and few MAU effective June 28th.

If the unlisted instances do not remove spam accounts and still report inflated user counts a month later, they will be banned.

Decided I'm going to go ahead with my Kbin mobile app.

Yeah I know i have a lot on the go, but I use Apollo daily, and want a solid Apollo like experience for Kbin.

I'm willing to hand over the project to Kbin if they want, and would love to work closely with the developer on this if possible.

Will be starting this next week, after my camping trip! It will be open source from the start, and contributors will be gladly welcomed! #kbin

Total users != Active users

Kbin has more active users than Lemmy!

Anyone can inflate user counts, but active users are a better signal to determine growth 😉 #fediDB #threadiverse

✨ Updated FediDB Stats

The Threadiverse page now includes Active Users, and a note about lemmy spambot signups.

In addition, the Top 20 Fastest growing #threadiverse instances are now sorted by active users to give a more accurate overview!

Btw, I care a lot about safety, Pixelfed is the first AP project that allows users to disable comments, DMs from people you don't follow are hidden by default, and we support shared blocklists and several other features!

I've closed registration on pixelfed.social several times, randomized the pixelfed.org/servers directory and mobile app onboarding.

I'm hellbent on ethical and sustainable growth.

You can come to your own conclusions, my actions speak for themselves.

It's been a productive week, despite everything that happened!

- Shipped Threadiverse fedidb page
- Revived my ActivityPub Developer Tools, shipping soon
- Made progress on several mobile app features/improvements
- Started a new Kbin app
- Improved Pixelfed moderation tools
- Reached out to someone who may be able to help improve safety/moderation (if he is willing)

Let's go 🚀

I have big plans for https://fedidb.org, including re-launching the ActivityPub developer tools.

I will need help though, and not with coding, we will need people to help curate everthing, input data about new projects (website, description, etc) and help detect potential spammy/fake instance stats.

Is this something that you'd be interested in?

I'm not kidding, @pixelfed has silently shipped Live streaming support over a year ago.

I don't think it's ready for prime time yet, that's why I haven't advertised it that much.

I'm working to ship this within the next month 🚀
