I just joined pixelfed and Iโve been finding myself compelled to post. It just feels like such a small positive corner of the internet. I hope it can maintain that vibe as if grows
Cum into the watercooler....
I'm so happy to see an Instagram alternative. We can continue helping people find a better way to post and engage without giving data to everyone and their mom
This is great! Pixelfed has been getting an influx of new users lately and it makes me happy that these sites are getting more traction!
You what we need? A snapchat alternative. I actually like the idea of snapchat even though i hate the product. Just sending a random picture to your freinds every day is a cool thing imo. And it would be pretty easy to implement probably because you wouldnt need to federate posts just send it to the users you sent it to.

You can do that with Signal ?
Honestly, just building an RCS app with easy grouping, quick captions, streak tracking, and delete requests would be the way to go with this. Then you have an immediate network effect of every iPhone and Android user in the world, and you don't have to get your friends to switch if they don't want to.
Signal could provide that with a few more features
Signal has a lot of overlap there. They've got disappearing messages and Stories
I've heard discussion of Pixelfed on both TikTok and RedNote, which is exciting! Hopefully it's easy to use.
Is Loops proprietary ? (I'm being serious here)
Dansup is required to release the source code for Loops under the Nlnet grant's conditions I believe.
That clears my doubts, thank you
Source hasn't been released, but the dev has said it will be and there's no reason to doubt that IMO. Same dev as pixelfed which is open source and federated
