I feel pretty bad about the current state of Pixelfed.

I've been working on it almost daily since 2018, but I took a break in September 2025 to focus on Loops.

I did ship Custom Filters, Pinned Posts and more that month, but I still had to complete 6 milestones for the Loops NLnet grant.

That being said, I engineered a robust ActivityPub system in Loops that we can use in PF

So after Starter Kits get shipped in Loops this weekend, I'll be focused on fixing Pixelfed bugs to make it fun again!

Thanks a lot @dansup

Idea:
maybe you can do a staging Pixelfed server (with federation on), so before you tag a new release, the (closed group of) testers (I volunteer) can test it a few days, and give you feedback on new bugs, before they go live.
QAing is crucial,the more the better.

So, if you do, count me in!
