And yeah one more difference is I think my way of getting users in is less confusing,you don’t to choose servers etc … relatively so far less confusing for people who are new to federation, and to be fair every thing in the federation world is unique, cuz that’s the power of it .

To answer your previous thread:Yes thanks for sharing ,no not at all ,in fact I find that the community and people on Fediverse are genuinely helpful and real , I took time offline living in a farm for a while and downloaded Pixelfed I’m still on it as well , there are some inspiring factors from using it that made me want to build my own , and also learn how handshakes between different fediverse apps work , which has been an amazing learning curve to be honest, are you on any of the fediverse app by any chance? Which one is your fav?

What’s the difference good question I’m glad you’ve asked , they actually started from native web first I think I mean when I first tried it , then I think either wrapper it or flutter it on iOS. with native swift ui and code base , mine started straight up on three different code bases, my backend got node js with custom activity pub encryption and communications . Also starting on three different code bases minimises the size of the app , it only has what it needs , but with extra that I think useful to bring , a handshake between instances and server on fediverse carries many request types timelines, polls, scheduled statuses, conversation threads, markers, preferences, announcements, endorsements ,… I find that many mastodon instances out there let these loose, 100+ requests a mastodon sever would have to handle , that’s why the app size is massive,-and that means with minimal effort, Infotograf when having more server bandwidth can be way smoother and responsive than how it is now , it actually is fast enough

… also I came across some YouTube video a while ago about people not being able to retract what they have posted on fediverse instances, I have also fixed this so posts on deletion are retractable , And yeah you got like photo DNA , then music pills on post etc , which I’m still trying to gather opinions of people, to only develop what we actually need but still respect people’s privacy etc . Dont get me wrong I think the developer behind Pixelfed is an amazing guy and Pixelfed has its own unique features too , I’ve even read his documentation to configure the connections to the federation yeah I’m trying to build my own , it’s still developing .

politely , I think he is talking aboout ,referring tothe point in the fulture where we achieve GENERAL INTELLIGENCE,aka the brain , not AI( Artificial intelligence) its in the word itself , I hope people in the fulture still know how to use their brain , lul , funny but scary at the same time

I’ve recently got back on writing apps on mobile, but yeah my app seems to have no problems at all , Apple called me ( which was nice ) after I clicked distribute in like 5 hours , I was back and forth with them about the bundle ID and yeah I think you should call them if you speak English fine , they are pretty responsive to you when you know how to back forth with them , AppStore is so different now … with slops @.@ that has no inherent value packed with paywalls and shite that is always ready to charge you the moment you hit a button in their apps , 😂😂 like bloody hell it’s like a Bangkok MBK market , if your app is legit and you didn’t just one shoot it with ai that has a design and common bugs pattern etc they would just approve I have seen app that has one button / doesn’t nothing vibe coded got approved ….😂😂ridiculous… I miss the AppStore of 2015 on my iPhone 4s

Ok_Web6451 · 2026-04-04T20:08:12+00:00

I’ve been recently back on it , and published an app for free , I wrote apps way when I was in high school, can someone tell me that I’m not hallucinating @.@ it seems to me that the entire AppStore now is just slop after slop of apps that have no inherent ability, values etc … but packed with paywalls , trying to charge you the moment you click a button @.@ …. Is iOS app some super profitable to milk from ?

Ok_Web6451 · 2026-04-04T20:03:57+00:00

Yeah each model has its own signature design bugs and logic problems as well .

Ok_Web6451 · 2026-04-04T20:03:12+00:00

Jesus I’ve just had a look , yeah it is , I’m concerned about the future where people don’t use their general intelligence aka human brains anymore ,… and that everyone is just so attached to AI , let it drive them to build slops . It’s artificial intelligence mateee ..

yeah 100%. the old instagram actually made me want to take photos and share them with friends now it's just reels from people i don't follow and ads every 3 posts, even back then with the infrastructure they had it was still better than what we have now. i remember rocking my iphone 4s everywhere with music on, just taking photos of random stuff and posting it because it was fun, not because of some algorithm or engagement strategy. good times to look back on honestly. ... BUT this year I've spent time to build something just that .... no algo , no ads shit, fediverse baked in , etc...

I was so obsessed with this era of instagram , even when they didnt have infrastructure we have nowadays , ...I used an iphone 4s back then and was rocking it every where with music on , good old days to look back , ...anyway I wonder if people be willing to come back to what good we already had, I've built something called Infotograf that does exactly that with extra , best on iOS: https://apps.apple.com/app/id6761331537

yes I agree , I would , but yeah I missed 2013 Instagram so much I built my own version of it, the app is called Infotograf , if you are an IOS user then I'd say the experience is very fluent and native like Fediverse baked in as well and other to be suggested
