Pixelfed has reached its Kickstarter Goal in Just 13 Hours

Let's hope it delivers

Cool, but it the more learn the more I find that I'd rather Dansup wasn't becoming the darling of the fediverse.
- You're free to start delivering code and release of your own! Dansup is walking, most of everyone else is talking.
  
  Dansup is walking, most of everyone else is talking.
  Isn't that because Dan hasn't open-sourced his project yet and doesn't let anybody else contribute?
  
  Dansup is walking
  Looks more like he's juggling projects while riding a unicycle, and doing insult comedy at the same time. I think it's fair to question the sustainability of this, and if/when he'll publically self destruct.
  
  From what I read he's the sole dev on three different large projects and ignoring issue requests.
- Yeah he’s definitely up himself, and highly prone to preschool outbursts on Mastodon. No doubt he deserves plaudits for ambition and talent, but a bit more humility and grace would do him good. I’ve cringed at a few of his (often retrospectively deleted) posts unnecessarily slagging off other devs.
  That said, I’m extremely grateful for what he’s trying to do, and his genuine desire to expand the fediverse.
- I feel like Mastodon is the only one who did things right.
  
  Isn't Gargron regularly criticized by the community for refusing to deliver some features?
- what's this mean? darling is a nothing word I thought? (Not best english)
  
  It means the dev can be a bit of a dick, and it’s not always a great look. “Darling” in this instance means “face of” or “icon”.
  
  FYI "darling" can also be used with a spouse or romantic partner. Your husband or girlfriend can be your "darling" just like "honey" or "baby". It has a similar meaning in this case, where "darling of the group" means everyone really likes them, even if not sexual/romantic.
  And this use, "darling of the ____", is a slightly older, but relatively common, saying.
- Why?

Wow, that's incredible!

awesome. I think this will really motivate people moving over to stay for a bit.

Anyone recommend a server?
- I'm using Social.photo, tho' I have no specific criteria, tho' it has the distinct advantage that it is still up and running.
  
  I'm the admin of social.photo. Thanks for joining! Lemme know if you have any questions or issues!
- I would not know really, but there is a a new one hosted by the Pixelix Client creator. He shared it somewhere in his mastodon account.
  
  Probably pixelix.social? The app website is app.pixelix.social 😉
- Pxlmo.com seems good
  
  The people there seem pretty chill in my experience so far.
- Pixey.org

Why is it so inactive? I made an account and there are barely any posts or activity.
- I moved from Instagram to Pixelfed around a year ago and went from barely anyone seeing my photography to literally no one seeing it.
  
  I get likes on cat pictures and that's it. The likes always seem to come after I go to bed so I assume somewhere else in the world is where the exposure is coming from
- They don't have proper "trending" page, that's why it seems barren.
  At least on Pixelfed.social, there are a lot of active photographers, both casuals and professional posting their work there.
  
  Agree with this one
