There’s a lot of cool stuff in the pipeline for the open source federated alternative to Tiktok and Vine, including a Web UI and a boatload of new features. Let’s dive in, and see what’s coming in the next release.

    Im thinking of the fork the devs of the programming.dev instance were trying to build, it was PHP. Can’t remember the name, then this and Pixelfed. I don’t know if favoritism is the right word but I do feel like 3 projects is a lot for the current ecosystem lol.

    Certainly an interesting decision.

      The bigger problem of Pixelfed seems the codebase and documentation. Dan is mostly alone while developing it. No public betas, just Screenshots with intresting features, which will come soon™

      Then again, the documentation. I tried spinning up Pixelfed on ubuntu server with the docs provided. Laravel did not start, cryptical error message. A module was disabled in the default PHP.ini. No mention in the docs, just which PHP modules are needed. I found the solution in a Github issue
