I started building @pixelfed in April 2018, just weeks after the ActivityPub spec was published.I delayed federation support in light of some fediverse meta that happened in the summer of 2018, and someone even made a doespixelfedfederateyet website that said "No." until Dec 2018.People joked about Pixelfed a lot, then the vibe changed when I shipped ephemeral Stories using LitePub + Bearcaps in 2019.8 years later, we're still here and thriving!#Pixelfed #Pixelfed8YearAnniversary
