What do you mean by wow
This should cover it fairly well.

I am so sorry to hear that. I run the Margit profile in your instance, but I wasn't aware of your plans to shut it down.
Yeah, it's not been easy to moderate, update, & use. If enough people are interested, I'm open to keeping it running as a closed instance. The biggest issue is that there isn't an out-of-the-box way for me to message all the local accounts to discuss this.

How they managed that their application for an account got accepted.

Don't worry much about my cat. I will totally respect any decision.

What's the app name? I'd love a bit of fedi brainrot
Loops is still in Beta rn, and it's rough lol. Never was a Tiktok person so it might feel even worse for them.
Isn't federated yet, but will be when Dansup makes it worthwhile.

yeah, i couldn't find the app yet. but let's see. i haven't been using tiktok, but seen some reels and video content on reddit. some people are creative and funny, and if the app doesn't force you to continuously scroll your feed, it's fine—just another format

What about hosting Pixelfed is awful? I’m asking because I want to start hosting it by myself.
Hey, sorry. I've been dealing with some ongoing personal stuff.
There are no clear release versions in the repository; all work is done in the mainline branch, called "dev". Therefore, you are not guaranteed to always use the same code as someone else on the same "version," which makes debugging issues difficult. I had to build my own Docker containers when I first started hosting it because the ones provided didn't work as expected. I've not tried them since. So, depending on your deployment process, this may not be an issue.
New releases are often buggy and break existing functionality. Feature releases are slow and seem unnecessary when core features are incomplete or not working. The developer is distracted by other projects.
There aren't any ways to communicate and create a community unless you force everyone to follow a specific account from the start of your instance. Funding is challenging and becomes expensive due to image storage and bandwidth usage.
I have other projects I contribute to; otherwise, I'd contribute to improve or fork Pixelfed. I want to reimplement many of the existing features.

I saw this 2 months ago. But my ADHD, Depression, & Anxiety have all been in full swing as of late because of many gifts of lemons from life. I wanted you to know that. I laughed then and still do now, when I'm finally responding after seeing the notification for two months.

jgrim@discuss.online Pixelfed has no versioning? That's concerning that you have to live on the bleeding edge if you don't want to be outdated.
I do see there are tags, which at least shows some versioning?
