Holy shit, no kidding. He has the most commits by a long shot. 9991 commits vs the #2 at 210 commits.
Maybe with this attention the app is getting, it can kick off like mastodon.

Yeah, it's crazy. Same thing for Loops, FediDB, Sup, and his million other projects. He's a one man band right now. And he has a full-time job on top of that!
I don't think that can go on for much longer with Pixelfed blowing up -- and they're still onboarding about 1000 people per hour. Just for moderating pixelfed.social, he said yesterday that he's received more reports in the last 48 hours than in the last 7 years. There's only so many hours in a day.
Wait, he's behind FediDB too?
Yep!

Cool!
This is not that uncommon in open source, but I'd think that something like this community project would be more decentralized, i.e. as a lot of people (especially technical people) use it, and see rough edges, that their motivation would be higher to contribute then.
