@pixelfed @loops sorry, but you already have missing features and slow development and bugs in pixelfed and you want to start yet another platform? I know a TikTok alternative would be great, but you either start a crowd funding and try to get money so you can pay active development or you should really reconsider doing that step.

@NafiTheBear @pixelfed @loops Care to explain which missing features?

As for slow development, perhaps you missed the 120+ PRs I merged in the past month (+ 2 releases).

I'm eager to hear your response.

@dansup @terrencefoxfur @pixelfed @loops I know you are doing a lot for the fediverse and I appreciate the work and I would also love a tiktok alternatiev, but sometimes you have to take a step back and think "can I have that work load as well", because I can remember a toot, where you said that the framework for the mobile versions is out of date and needs a massive rewrite. What happened with that btw?

@dansup as an example for open source projects. take the screenshots below. one is from pixelfed and one from the godot engine, a project I can highly recommend to take a look at as project management.
it is not very visible from the commit history in pixelfed who contributed. you would need to dig down. When I click on a the pull requests say 4934 on pixelfed history and 88365 on godot. your usually say "no description provided and godot at least has "fixes xy also improves z"

@dansup @pixelfed @NafiTheBear @loops defo but as you know I’ve tried that too and without proper tracking issues have a habit of being forgotten. Setting up proper project issue tracking on GitHub is a must too.

@dansup @terrencefoxfur @pixelfed @NafiTheBear @loops You keep saying the pixelfed mobile app will be out of beta, but somehow it never does. It’s always just around the corner. Also, what happened to the messenger “sup” that was coming soon last year?
I’m just concerned you lack focus and all this pressure is not good for you.

@loops i think you should put the remark of @NafiTheBear into perspective, @dansup. Compared to the pace of development of e.g. Meta, the development of @pixelfed is slow. That does NOT mean you're doing anything wrong, though.
I'd rather take that comparison as a compliment: @NafiTheBear is putting you on the same Level as Multi-Billion cooperations.

@Klaus @loops @NafiTheBear @dansup @pixelfed That’s not true. Development is slow because things don’t get finished and bugs don’t get fixed before something else is added or a new project started.

@dansup @NafiTheBear I don't personally use Pixelfed, but I've heard the same sentiment echoed by multiple people that do, especially when it comes to long-standing unfixed bugs.
