If you want to fork :pixelfed: you should check out anfora and fontina first! Pixelfed is not the only project in this space.

@dansup I have been trying to figure out Anfora for most of the day. I got a docker image of it that gets it up but it doesnt appear to have any UI at all. I dont think it is even usable. Going to look at fontina.

@freemo Anfora, fontina and pixelfed are not ready yet!

@dansup It wasnt a complaint. I'd be more than happy to use incomplete but barely usable software if it had ActivityPub support. Hell if i could get pixelfed running id use it even just in the hope it might get that support. As a software developer I can make due with an alpha project usually.

@freemo Hi freemo, the UI is a separate module. You can get it at github.com/anforaProject/clien the server is ready to detect it and use it as a frontend. Anyway the client is not ready, but if you want to get ready a docker image just tell me and I'll help you. You can call the API from an external app like postman and it shoult work.

@zinat Actually the docker image and docker-compose I've been working on appear to be fully working, your welcome to use it. Since I couldnt get a UI anywhere to evaluate the project I gave up on it. Is the client at least alpha-level usable?

@freemo OK I didn't know it would be a problem. Could you please pull this changes to the repo? The client should be more than Alfa by the end of this week. If you don't have any inconvenient, could you also upload the docker files? Thanks for your time and excuse me for not displaying it clearly. I'll write a how to install guide explaining all of this.

@zinat The docker files would have to be one directory up from the repo. It would work best to create a new repo for it and have your repo as a submodule to it.

@zinat let me know if you want me to package up the dockerfile and docker-compose.yml file for you to use. I edited your source a bit so the redis host is no longer hardcoded to localhost, as such the redis host runs in a seperate docker container and is linked via compose.
