   Now is the time to spread the message about Loops!

     @yuliyan Clearly you haven't used it, it's pretty rock solid in its current beta form, with a dozen federated servers and constant updates.

     Pixelfed grew really fast and is feature packed, while it does need more work, Loops is much more stable due to extensive phpstan testing during development.

     @dansup I fear it will stay as buggy and unfinished as Pixelfed and threfore not get serious traction. We can't do the transition on hype alone. Monnetl from Luxembourg is in a similar state. Promising intentions, barely working demo and the constant marketing lingo overpromise of a working alternative. Quality matters so much more to average users than to us ideological users. I've seen it too often now. I pledge: make it rock-solid first, then release it. Hype alone does not make a platform.

     @dansup @yuliyan last pixelfed update is 5 months old. We also know almost nothing about the next update progress. Like I said before release regular small updates over a big update for pixeñfed just like you do with loops

     @hiphopheaven @yuliyan We have over 340 commits since the last release, Pixelfed isn't abandoned.

     That being said, we're due to a massive release and that will be coming with some big ActivityPub improvements I'm working on now (borrowed from Loops).

     Then the release after that will be the new webUI which is coming along very well. I haven't teased updates because I want to announce them after they shipped.

     @dansup @yuliyan why there is no new version of the app with those changes?

     @dansup I don’t get it. It’s not available in the app store yet, so why promote it?
