2900 people have joined the iOS #pixelfedApp beta so far!

It's kinda overwhelming to witness the rapid growth in #pixelfed, thanks to the #twitterMigration

Pixelfed is largely a 1 man team, we don't have the amount of contributors that most other fediverse projects have so there is a lot of pressure and I'm doing my best. ❤️

@dansup where can we join the app beta for Android ?
@dansup Amazing, amazing work. One tiny request, please think about how you nudge people towards using alt text; showing inclusion by design is a huge point of difference for you as an app, and as part of the fediverse.
@juter @dansup automatic image content scan and confirmation of the found content suggestions?

@bergfox @dansup That could definitely help encourage people as it removes the barrier of a blank input field, nice to start with some helpful defaults.

I think the smallest most impactful action would be to start by putting the alt text input field into the main posting flow. You could then iterate on this by adding in the automated suggestions.

@dansup pixelfed surely needs more contributors! Thanks for doing your best I really like pixelfed the only thing it lacks is users at the moment...
@dansup wow, can’t wait for this. Congrats. Is there a tip jar or way to donate? Is there a way to get on the beta test list?
@dansup where are you pushing the code at the moment? I checked the repository but it seems to be empty https://github.com/pixelfed/mobile-app
Thanks 🙏

@dansup you haven't published pixelfed mobile app source code. How do you want to get contributors?
@dansup you're doing a great job! (I'm currently testing the app)
@dansup 1/2900 💪🏼 If there‘s need for help, I would be happy to contribute, but coding isn‘t a thing I would put on my cv haha.

@dansup Love the iOS-app. Just did a quick testrun, login was sweet, will post some pictures during the evening. #pixelfedApp

Where do I leave some funds for your coffee?

@dansup I wouldn’t know my C++ from a frill neck lizard ( no not the Tweeter in Chief)) but let us know how we can support pixelfed.
@dansup how can we help aside from testing the app (which works really well!) and getting friends to join?
@dansup I get the fed reference but pixelfed sounds like a hungry app that must be fed pixels. It is a super cool name
