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!

    you take the post/user’s original URL,

    Ok, but if I don’t have an account on their instance, how do I even find their URL?

      I think they’re making it more complicated than it needs to be. On any other social media site, you find people by their username. So just ask for your friends username (username@instance.com) and put it in the search bar and it’ll come up. Using the URL can be convenient on desktop because you can just copy and paste it from the address bar when you’re looking at someone’s profile.

        That makes sense. It is a bit ironic. Like everyone wants to go back to old Instagram where you just keep up with friends, but I think we’ve all grown accustomed to our feeds and our friends don’t have enough cute cats and dogs to accommodate our interests.
