I spent 7 years working on Pixelfed almost every day, and in the past 18 months we've went from 200k users to over 1 million!
Some could argue the break after FediCon to build Loops was a mistake, but the fediverse needed a solid short video platform and I didn't want to force that on Pixelfed.
Now this summer belongs to Pixelfed.
Stay tuned, I want to improve the web and mobile apps for the next million or ten million new Pixelfed members 🚀
