I'm really proud of the ecosystem I'm building around @pixelfed
We have some really innovative features that are unique to our platform, and are powered by microservices like:
api.fedidb.org
beagle.pixelfed.net
fdroid.pixelfed.net
push.pixelfed.net
recovery.pixelfed.org
versions.pixelfed.org
With @loops and @supapp on the horizon, you can expect a few more 😎
I really need to blog about this, because I'm having a blast 🚀

in reply to dansup • • •How strongly do self hosted instances rely on such centralized infra? Can we host these ourselves or are these hardcoded in the mobile app?
Does the app break if all of these are unavailable?

in reply to panda :verified: • • •@panda They aren't required to use the app, and admins can disable the Beagle Discover API from their instance.
Only the Recovery feature interacts directly with the central service, the rest are proxied through the admins Pixelfed server, and we will give admins the ability to disable (or use custom providers in the future)!
