Hey hey! It's a 3 coffee day! ☕ ☕ ☕
Every time I open registrations on https://pixtagram.social for a few minutes, I get 10-20 signups. This is wild. #Pixelfed
#Pixelfed is getting talked about on TikTok as an alternative to #Instagram. Almost every video about it has people in the comments saying "Why do I have to pick a server? What does that mean?" Either people are just dumb beyond help, or we need to do better at onboarding people to the #fediverse. Edit: I love the ideas and discussions this post is stirring up!
Rather than run a Mobilizon or Gancio instance that no one will use, I created a DMV group on Mobilizon.us, for regional events!
DMV
Events happening in DC, Maryland, and Virginia.
 #DMV #WashingtonDC #Maryland #Virginia #events
I've onboarded 100+ users to Pixtagram.social in the last hour. I'm approving people as quickly as I can. If everyone who joined actually uses their accounts I'll probably need to increase the resources available to the server (especially Instagram imports). If you'd like to contribute to help out with server costs, you can do so at my Kofi page.

I've changed the maximum character count on DMV.Community to 1989. If you can tell me what the significance of that number is, you will win a gold star. ⭐
We got about 2" of snow. Not too bad, but I'm going to have to venture out and clean off the driveway, walkway, and the cars. 🥶
