Hi friends!

Now that littleFedi has been released and new instances are starting to appear, we can focus again on development and testing.

From now on, the littleFedi accounts on this instance will work like this:

The announcement - @littlefedi_official - account will be used for announcements: new releases and important communications. It will be a very low-traffic account, so I suggest following it with some attention. A new build, by the way, is not far away... ๐Ÿ˜‰

There will also be an account dedicated to hints, where we will publish, notice the plural ๐Ÿ˜, tips, tricks and useful little things about littleFedi. It does not exist yet, but I will create and announce it as soon as possible.

This account will remain more general, as it is now, although of course it will mainly talk about littleFedi.

This instance will remain our test instance. New builds and new features will be tested here before their public release.

For now, the littleFedi development model will also remain the same: the developers develop, fix, experiment and, when something is ready, a new version is released.

Open Source is freedom, not conformity.

littleFedi has its own history, its own way of growing and its own direction. We will keep following them, without trying to imitate a model just because it is the most common one in the Open Source world.

Open Source was born to let people do things differently.

littleFedi is free.

@stefano is it possible to propose new features/functionalities? Having oidc in littleFedi ie via dex would be awesome
docs.gotosocial.org/en/latest/

@lpryszcz@genomic.social sure, it's possible. We have a list, and we analyse it and decide what to implement and when. I've just added this to the list.

@stefano@littleone.littlefedi.social Just wanted to say how much I'm enjoying self-hosting littleFedi. Every time I find a behaviour I want to change I look in the example .toml and, sure enough, the setting to do so is there. Also, the option to strip exif data from image files is a great example of the thought that's gone into this software. Thanks for all your hard work (and the hard work of others involved).

@stefano I was bored so I decided to set up an instance of it but ran into a snag. I'll report it on the issue tracker later, could just be PEBKAC though.
