RE: https://mastodon.social/@pixelfed/117032433225821240 Wow. 🚀 Just wait until the redesigned app and server ships, I think everyone will see the much anticipated updates were worth the wait.

Prismo was first started in 2018, around the time of @pixelfed and I remember having many chats with @mbajur about federation and collaboration. We started a forum called SocialHub to bring other fedi devs together, and then transferred it to a more stable home, its now known as […]

Special thanks to @liaizon for reporting the Loops to Mastodon DM threading issue. It's now fixed 👍 #Loops #LoopsDev #DirectMessages

RE: https://mastodon.social/@joinloops/117032008328546651 With just a few .env variables, Loops Admins have the ability to enable database backups to a separate S3 disk that gets updated every 6 hours, and purges backups older than 7 days with the most recent per day, and up to 4 backups on the […]

Just shipped 3 releases tonight, the day before we head to #FediCon and I give a keynote about Loops! Releases: - Loops Server (v1.0.0-beta.13) https://github.com/joinloops/loops-server/releases/tag/v1.0.0-beta.13 - Loops for Android (v1.0.3.5) […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

In 1968 Dijkstra declared GOTO statements harmful. In 2021 someone built them an entire social network anyway. GotoSocial is a lightweight #ActivityPub server that can run on a potato, blocks scrapers by default, and with privacy defaults that would get a product manager fired at any real […]

This morning in #Amiko, the community #RailsFork: 1. 138 people now in the Matrix space at https://matrix.to/#/#amiko:matrix.org 2. We've had success in running some **major** #Rails apps on experimental forked versions of both `rails` and `railties`, and at […] [Original post on mastodon.me.uk]

RE: https://mastodon.social/@joinloops/117031243266561201 If your logged in to your other fediverse accounts, like Mastodon or Pixelfed, you can easily share to them, which opens the Loops video post on that other account, allowing you to easily interact. It's almost magic ⚡️

@dansup Daily "omg @slightlyoff is so correct" moment

It is pretty wild what is possible with modern web browsers. You can transcode media client side to reduce the size before you upload to the backend (important for Cloudflare that limits uploads to 100MB) You can apply complex filters to images and upload those to the backend, without […]

At the forefront of innovation. We adopted Mediabunny, months before Bluesky and WordPress. Klipy in Loops, before the wider adoption too. Living at the edge has a cost, but it also means we get to find out what works while everyone else is still scheduling the evaluation meeting. That pace […]

Loops for Android. Coming soon ✨ #Loops #Soon

RE: https://mastodon.social/@dansup/117020483143451487 I redesigned the Top row algorithm to better handle DMs + Group Chats. We basically prioritize existing chats, then mutuals and finally recently following. Cache busting was required to handle updates to following, conversations and […]

And why did I "abandon" Pixelfed to build Loops? Short video is the fastest growing form of social media, PeerTube wasn't it and we all know that. PeerTube is the fediverse YouTube. The fediverse needs a TikTok. Someone had to do it, why not the guy who told @stux in 2023, that his Goldfish […]

I didn't forget Pixelfed. I spent 8 years building it, almost daily. I took the past year off to take a Pixelfed feature from 2019 called Loops, and spin it out to its own project, after seeing how poorly Instagram Reels was received. Loops almost became a Pixelfed feature, but that would […]

The network effect is crucial to every social platform, and what differentiates them is how they are able to match IRL connections with online ones, and we can do this, but it needs to be done carefully and in a way that preserves privacy and user autonomy across platforms and services. No […]

RE: https://mastodon.social/@dansup/117020236807763073 I just wished that Apple supported something like the Google Play Install Referrer. This would enable deeplinked invites and onboarding, even if the app wasn't installed. I know you can get around this using a combination of a central […]

Discovery and finding your friends on the fediverse can be tricky. Either you upload your entire contact list to a central service (nope), or you leverage clever invite methods that people share out of band, to connect IRL people on the fediverse. Could be as simple as a special invite QR code […]
