The EU has supported me, @pixelfed and @loops more than my own country!
Iβm forever grateful to @NLnet, our patrons, kickstarter backers, open collective and liberapay donors for funding us and helping sustain active development for all our projects.
It isnβt easy or cheap to build, run and maintain a dozen fediverse projects, but your support has really helped.
Thank you.
Your support is needed more than ever as we build a better TikTok β€οΈ
Loops Sound Library will be powered by a separate (open source) microservice that syndicates audio + music from 3rd parties.
We will run an official service, but you will be free to self-host your own (for you and/or other Loops servers)
Help me name it! Boosts appreciated β¨
I get the jealousy of Pixelfed users when they see how amazing Loops is progressing.
What they don't see is what I've been working on behind the scenes for Pixelfed.
I'm not teasing or promising anything, I learned my lesson. It will arrive when ready, without screenshots, and ready to use π
I'm so excited for #Fedicon2026, I had a blast meeting some of you in person at this years FediCon, and hope more of you can join us next year!
I wish it lasted longer, the after parties were lit π₯
I'm taking a break from Loops to fix some recent federation issues in @pixelfed
While I'm at it, I'm also fixing some old bugs like proper cache invalidation in Notifications, improved support for libvips and other file formats, and more!
Shoutout to @:PUA: Shlee travelled around & for shipping a ton of bug fixes too, we make a great team β€οΈ
Stay tuned, we'll be tagging a new release this weekend with a ton of federation + UI/UX fixes
