  I uninstalled the Mastodon app, and have https://columnly.social added to my iPhone home screen with Push Notifications enabled. I could never get Icecubes push notifications working with my Mastodon account, but now they work with a web app 😎 #Columnly

  I am pretty hopeful that my Laravel ActivityPub library NLnet grant application will get approved, I did make it to the second round! This would be my 7th grant, out of 8 applications, the first being in 2019 as the first fediverse project. I couldn't be more proud to have spread the word and now there are so many fediverse projects they have funded.

  RE: https://mastodon.social/@dansup/117576084419067065 This is legit my dream job, building awesome things that other people like. Thank you for making this possible ❤️

  Pixelfed has 5 microservices that power the ecosystem (autospam, discovery, push, recovery, versions) Loops has 4 (beacon, push, relay, versions) Sup has 7 (tba) All 3 depend on FediDB APIs in some way There are a lot of details that users do not see, and may take for granted, but I legit thrive on overthinking, overplanning and building them Marketing, Design, DevRel, Community Support, Admin, Moderation, SysOps, Funding, Conferences, Docs, R&D I wear a lot of hats beside the coding o...

  I know it can be pretty disheartening as a developer who spent years perfecting the craft and building a fediverse platform, only to see new vibe coded platforms emerge. But just remember that people can tell, and that vibe coders typically do not possess the knowledge or skills to scale their platform to hundreds, thousands or millions of users without writing a prompt to "fix bugs". Our human made platforms will continue to thrive, increasingly so, as people discover this. #madeBy...

  I'm not even mad at all the people who criticized me for working on Loops and not Pixelfed. I feel bad for letting them down, but I promised our Kickstarter backers, and NLnet that I would build Loops as a federated and fully open source platform. So I did. Now I'm back to focusing on Pixelfed, we shipped 11 huge updates in 2 months, squashing bugs, delivering long awaited feature requests and making account migration work. Now it's your turn to tell me how I can improve Pixelfed...

  I didn't realize how much time I spent being laser focused on building Loops, and now I'm finally catching up on everything else. Pixelfed, FediDB, Fediverse.info, Sup and a dozen related micro services and packages. someone needed to build columnly.social, a fediverse tiktok, curated network stats + community software lists, and a digital charter of rights (https://respectfulplatforms.org) because you all deserve better and safer third spaces ❤️ #catchingUp #socialWeb #strongerTogeth...

  Taking a year off from Pixelfed to build a brand new fediverse platform from scratch, using modern libraries and packages was exactly what I needed. I was so stuck in my stubborn ways (bootstrap, not writing tests, etc), and then I discovered Nuxt, Tailwind and phpstan Now I've learned new languages, polished my design skills and learned a few redis features that have elevated my abilities, I feel unstoppable! I'm focused on making our social web better, safer and ready for the next b...

  Last year during the Pixelfed Kickstarter campaign, I told our team about my plan to build an internal tool to help manage infrastructure, monitor the fleet and gain insight into performance issues, while also being able to keep servers up to date with the push of a button I started building it in March 2025, and would work on it once in a blue moon. I finally finished the v1 and it's now live!! It's called Sentinel, and powers our status pages ✨ May not seem exciting, but it is 2 me...

  @chuff @arokk@writing.exchange @liaizon@social.wake.st @gabboman That could be a bug in Columnly, there could be some performance issues with rapid updates. I will look into this!

  I'm a designer, but sometimes I want to make adjustments for myself Meet https://columnly.social, a Mastodon web client that supports many other software like Pixelfed, and allows you to quickly switch between accounts on the same server, or other servers + software. But like I said, I like to make adjustments, so I made it fully customizable, with the ability to design custom themes, select fonts, import and export your settings and much more. We even have an accessibility mode ✨ #Colu...

  RE: https://mastodon.social/@alemarcati/117574883522316827 I understand this sentiment, but adopting a dog from a shelter is a very complicated process here. They want to do at home inspections and interviews, and you are not even guaranteed to get the dog you wanted. A lot of people adopted or bought dogs during the pandemic, then abandoned them not long after, so the shelters made it a lot more difficult. I'm not sure I would have met their inspection as I was a hot emotional mess at...

  We instantly bonded, and every night I would put him on my chest to sleep. Drake was never clingy, and would even move if I sat close to him. Jake is the opposite, he will try to follow me into the bathroom, lays right on me in bed and even on the couch. He is my baby, and I think Drake sent him to me 😭 We don't deserve dogs (or cats) ❤️

  After I lost my dog Drake last year I was lost, it really affected me. Working from home lost its shine, it was so quiet and empty. Two months later, after looking at classified ads for doggos, I found this farmer who had a bunch of purebred labrador retrievers for sale. Messaged him Thursday, met him Friday and got to meet all the puppers. They all came to me except one, he was a shy guy. I knew instantly he was the one ❤️ I paid him and picked him up the following Tuesday.

  So when I added support for Loops to https://columnly.social, I had to refactor quite a bit to abstract MastoAPI routes and entities properly. Not only did that open the door to supporting other software more properly, but also inspired me to look into ATProto support so you could combine all your social web accounts in one beautiful client. No promises, but I do look forward to implementing this when I have time! #Columnly #ActivityPub #ATProto

  If you're using https://columnly.social and are a frontend developer who wants to help maintain it once it's open sourced later this month, please get in touch! I will gladly pass the torch to the community to maintain and expand this project, as it has clearly outgrown my own personal usage. Please boost and share with people you think may be interested ❤️ #Columnly
