   ⚡ We're taking our import/exportable block lists to the next level!

   We're building an open service for Pixelfed called ModDB, and it will support other projects as well.

   More details soon.

     @pixelfed I have concerns about this :

     It seems to add centralisation
     Block lists have already proven highly problematic due to individual blocking policies and a high number of errors
     There seems to be a growing lack of focus at Pixelfed with projects being started but never quite finished (eg the app, which should be the main way to access Pixelfed, is languishing in Beta lacking many facilities and basics)
     The name ModDB already exists and is likely to cause confusion

     @PhilipKing @pixelfed We just shipped a new app build with improved onboarding, post edits and a few bug fixes. The main project has also seen 3 new releases last month including federated Post Edits, several federation bug fixes and features.

     The mobile app is approaching the public release, and we continue to focus on improving the web UI with upcoming push notifications and accessibility enhancements.

     @dansup @pixelfed It’s clear a huge amount of work goes into Pixelfed and I don’t like to disagree but here are some things missing from the app:
     Stories
     Ability to follow hashtags
     Action post edits in the app
     Notifications
     Accessibility
     Account management
     Full share sheet support (iOS and Android equivalent)

     1/2

     @pixelfed you should rethink that name.

     @pixelfed good thing federated techies and gamers don't overlap much or thus name might confuse people about its relationship to https://moddb.com

     Hi, my two cents regarding the name, there is a moddb.com (and also indiedb.com, but that's not really relevant in this situation).
     That site contains game mods, all kinds of them, and exists who knows since when.
     Just saying.
