You are not logged in. If you use a Fediverse account that is able to follow users, you can follow this user.
You are pretty naive about their ability and willingness to tell anyone especially after all the bad press they got for the case above. They don’t have a warrant canary and their excuse why not only applies to Swiss citizens.
Most non-Mastodon “microblogging” software handles longer messages just fine. My Akkoma instance for example defaults to 5000 letters and there isn’t really a limit interface wise.
It works well though 🤷♂️

Doesn’t seem to be what they are asking for, but I am also a bit confused about what exactly they are asking for.
No they are not end to end encrypted, but you can restrict access to subscribers only and if you self-host it, e2ee isn’t really needed.
For end to end encrypted photo sharing there are these two open source projects that also offer a for pay cloud storage:
The only Fediverse project that offers optional e2ee messages is Hubzilla afaik.
It wasn’t me who used a cringe party metaphor first 🤷♂️
Make sure you use a MariaDB or MySQL database. Despite what the (very incomplete) docu says, Postgres support is broken.
One thing about Cory’s books is that there is always some extremely cringe party section with some rather forced romance part screaming “how do you do fellow kids?” even to me, a middle aged guy himself.
The above is also cringe, even though the argument has some (limited) merit. Look, Cory… just admit some rich friend of yours talked you into signing up for this on the last silicon vally party you attended. We all make mistakes like that some time 🤷♂️

The Pixelfed developer has been teasing Lemmy compatible groups for some years now. Apparently the code already exists, but for some reason it never gets merged.
At one point last year it looked like it would finally be released soon and I even set up a Pixelfed instance on my server to test it, but then somehow they decided working on Loops and Sup. was more important.
I got so annoyed by this lack of focus on basic functionality in general and a few other things regarding it that I deleted the instance again and do not plan to bother with anything this dev puts out again. Best of luck to them though, but I have better things to do with my time…
Apparently the official app has a few dependencies that themselves depend on Google Play services, hence being blocked for F-droid inclusion.
Oh, yeah. I am happy my effort to convince them worked out.
ActivityPub is not very well suited for real-time communication, but there are some attempts like Sup.
I think the best is to integrate an existing Fedivserse instance with XMPP. We do that on our slrpnk.net instance where every member automatically has a XMPP account reachable under the same address as on the Fediverse. We also host a Movim client that does chat as well as 1:1 A/V calls (group calls are coming soon).
Sup is a bad idea and I am not really convinced about Loops in its current form either, but the Pixelfed dev has done a lot of good work otherwise on various Fediverse projects so I think this Kickstarter deserves support.
