Fuck if i know

The people there seem pretty chill in my experience so far.

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?

[jeffool@lemmy.world]

FYI "darling" can also be used with a spouse or romantic partner. It has a similar meaning in this case, where "darling of the group" means everyone really likes them, even if not sexual.

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

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

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.

[nasi_goreng@lemmy.zip]

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.
