wedistribute.org
After years of hardcore development, the Pixelfed project is taking a big next step by seeking crowdfunding dollars on Kickstarter.

Pixelfed has been making incredible strides over the past few years, and has begun developing a suite of different platforms and services for the #Fediverse. After just one day on Kickstarter, they’ve already smashed their campaign goal.

But they still need your help!

    Ok, so I spent the weekend getting my own Pixelfed instance working for my friends who want off Instagram.

    My big question, is how do you discover new content?

    Sure you can follow people on other instances, but how do you find them in the first place?

    Also, basically all of the content I’ve been able to find so far has been artsy photos of fences and beaches and whatnot. It’s pretty and all, but there’s not much of humanity in my feed.

    Should’ve set the goal at 100k for fulltime employment. These kinds of projects need that kind of dedication

      As long as they reach the goal they keep everything donated including if it raises much more than the goal.

      They’re already at 72k

        That’s good news. I imagine it will diminish quickly unless the story about TikTok is kept alive. The news cycle is mostly 1-2 weeks. Hopefully it’ll have reached 100k by then.
