@z428eu Pixelfed is almost perfect, and we have a team that is helping with Pixelfed dev now.

Loops is a huge vibrant community, the 3rd largest active fediverse project, and its only 2 months old.

Pixelfeds app just launched less than a month ago, so I think we're doing pretty good, despite the huge undertaking.

I wouldn't recommend others attempt this 😎

Meanwhile, over at another understaffed #Pixelfed project:

"We have paused all crawling as of Feb 6th, 2025 until we implement robots.txt support.

Stats will not update during this period."

Here: https://fedidb.org/

And:

"FediDB is in read only mode while we implement robots.txt detection support, we are also adding a self removal tool that checks robots.txt so you can remove your data from FediDB.

I don't have an ETA, but expect this to be shipped this month."

Here: https://github.com/fedidb/issues/issues/52

Never bite off less than you can chew, eh #DanSup?

@FinchHaven I feel utterly bad for ranting at this point, but personal perception is that half-baked projects with that lack quality and dedication seem much more than anything else negative publicity to leave people with unsatisfied experiences and ultimately drive them off the Fediverse again. 😔
