nostr:npub15g3nl5fm2qte6s4dzqrlm2gaawpppctkkadjvxvzcvkp5rlfyg9sgn03rf Thanks and great question!

Early on, I emulated IG in the UI because I was still trying to feel out our own unique brand and feel.

As nostr:npub120zh308gs69j3vwgvvrzgglv58vsk3q0vef43uajyu0lc3mtldsq2p33r2 evolves, we're finding our own way and diverging from the "IG clone" mentality - still a ways to go but we're well on our way!

I love Instagram, and think if they do ever join the fedi that we can peacefully coexist!

Like it's taken me years to get good at frontend dev, backend dev, project management, marketing, user support and also realizing how I can use my growing following to benefit other people and projects

And now it's all coming together and I couldn't be happier ๐Ÿ˜

Building nostr:npub120zh308gs69j3vwgvvrzgglv58vsk3q0vef43uajyu0lc3mtldsq2p33r2 and everything else is a dream I've had for so many years and now I'm just in awe of the fact I'm actually doing this.

Never stop believing in yourself โค๏ธ

Sneak peek at the upcoming blog post ๐Ÿ‘€

Gosh I'm having so much fun with this, I love marketing Pixelfed and spent years reading HN and it's wild that I'm now writing blog posts that I used to find so interesting (still do, but I rarely browse HN now)

I had a blast with that last blog post, so I'm writing another one that will be up shortly ๐Ÿ˜Ž

Naive bayes isn't exactly exciting, I had to make it dramatic to make it interesting, this comment isn't wrong though!

I posted the blog post to HN, I wonder what they will think ๐Ÿ˜…

I had a lot of fun explaining Autospam, and how sometimes the "old, boring, resilient" methods can endure the test of time and remain a good option ๐Ÿ˜Ž

An interesting and detailed look at how Pixelfed uses a technique from the 90's to combat spam โฌ‡๏ธ

Wow, this Autospam blog post is turning out to be the longest yet and I'm really excited to release it!

Not bad chatGPT, but I think Iโ€™ll need to write this blog post myself this time

Taking a lil coding break to write a https://pixelfed.blog post about our Autospam feature!

nostr:npub176d4qvn5eyaqc4rq0affavwqpfq9khgh8h062dw235q8jdwwgrpsxwx085 nostr:npub120zh308gs69j3vwgvvrzgglv58vsk3q0vef43uajyu0lc3mtldsq2p33r2 I'm working on a fix now, and you'll have the option to easily remove all imported posts with one click and re-do it if you want!

Working on a bug fix for the Account Migration feature, once this is out you will be able to move TO or FROM any supported server (Pixelfed, Mastodon, Firefish)

To all the people saying I should have made a poll, you can't add images to mastodon poll!

Help me pick the new nostr:npub120zh308gs69j3vwgvvrzgglv58vsk3q0vef43uajyu0lc3mtldsq2p33r2 default app logo!
