    I spent 7 years working on Pixelfed almost every day, and in the past 18 months we've went from 200k users to over 1 million!

    Some could argue the break after FediCon to build Loops was a mistake, but the fediverse needed a solid short video platform and I didn't want to force that on Pixelfed.

    Now this summer belongs to Pixelfed.

    Stay tuned, I want to improve the web and mobile apps for the next million or ten million new Pixelfed members ๐Ÿš€

      @dansup remind me how much those people paid you and how much work they did on Pixelfed in the interim?

          Your decision to separate #Loops and #Pixelfed was a wise one!

                @dansup I love Loops. With some fixes and more users I think it can completely replace Instagram for me. In fact, I just wiped my phone by installing Graphene on it, and I've only reinstalled Loops and not the Meta-owned hot garbage. Thank you for all your hard work!

                  @dansup I will test on degoogled Android if that helps.

                    @dansup You should spend your time where you think best. That said, do you have any idea when the Android client for Loops will be available on the Play Store or F-Droid?

                    @mpjgregoire @dansup Agreed when donating so much of your own time and resources you get to pick what you work on when. Thank you for everything you have helped to created.

                            @dansup good luck to you, but instagram killed photo sharing for me, that stuff was just so toxic and depressing.

                                @dansup I am proud one of million users of Pixelfed. Keep going. Honestly the โ€œSuggested for youโ€ posts and โ€œAdโ€ posts on Instagram definitely killed me. I want @pixelfed to remain chronological. I remained happy the fact that it is ad-free here on pixelfed
