And he has turned over Mastodon to a non-profit company which should be able to gain more resources to develop Mastodon.

Isn't that because Dan hasn't open-sourced his project yet

Wrong: https://github.com/pixelfed/pixelfed/blob/dev/LICENSE

and doesn't let anybody else contribute?

Hmm, while there have been 158 contributors, a very small percent were from the other developers: https://github.com/pixelfed/pixelfed/graphs/contributors

This information is pretty easy to look up.

Why is it so inactive? I made an account and there are barely any posts or activity.

[free_opinions@feddit.uk]

I moved from Instagram to Pixelfed around a year ago and went from barely anyone seeing my photography to literally no one seeing it.

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

[cheems@lemmy.world]

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

[breadcat@sh.itjust.works]

well if you read it it ought to be true

[grumpyduckling@sh.itjust.works]

I didn't remember which one it was. I'm not really a GitHub user. It said there were open issues for a long time.

[lambalicious@lemmy.sdf.org]

Of course it is, but then again: it's because everyone else is talking. No one stops everyone else from starting their own project and overtaking his by sheer power of community. Until that happens, one man would have to suffice.

[lambalicious@lemmy.sdf.org]

Well then, get working on the competition.
