Hi there,

So, yes, the files are temporarily stored locally (and based on the settings, they can be pre-processed, like encoding, watermarks, optimizations, etc).

For this process, chunked uploads can be enabled so hosting limits can be bypassed.

Then, after the file is uploaded to the final destination, the internal storage driver streams the file onto the bucket (it bypasses any limits, it is not a regular upload so to say).

But yeah, file upload, especially large size ones, might be tricky to setup, when in conjuction with videos transcoding or cloudflare for example.

Thanks, and let us know if you have any other questions.

Hi there,

Payouts are ultimately manual. EG: You have to approve them from the admin (EG: No scheduled/.

Now, from this point, you can have them fully manual (EG: You send the money into the required/allowed payment account) or automated via Stripe account (creators have to onboard with stripe).

Hope that makes sense, but do let me know if you have any other questions.

Hi there,

Regarding featured users—I am not aware of such behaviour. Also keep in mind you can handpick your “featured” cretors, shown on the homepage from Admin > Users > Featured usres.

As for profiles’ status—make sure that when previewing profiles, see them from a non-admin user, because for admins, there won’t be any subscribe/follow button on the users profile anyway.

Thanks and let me know.

Hi there,

The feed is only populated with content of people you’re actively being subscribed to (for paid accounts) or following for free (for free/open profiles).

From the admin, you can set up a default list of (free) users to be auto-followed on regsiter, so new accounts will have some content/welcome message on their feeds.

Thanks and let us know.

Hi there,

That sounds like an error that might be caused by invalid emailing driver settings. EG: The system fails to send the email, and shows that error on purpose, so you can know and address it.

Anyway, feel free to send us a DM with more details/a sample of you storage/logs/laravel.log file so we can have a look.

Thanks.

is there a paid chat function? paid gifts etc?

Hi there,

We do not advertise/say that PayPal or Stripe accepts adult content. You might use it, and even use it for a while until you get suspended, but overall, their TOS & our documentation states that clearly.

You can see the list of supported payment providers, and if their high-risk payments policy over this link @ https://docs.qdev.tech/justfans/documentation.html#payments .

And yes, there is a paid chat function (EG: chats are unlock after subscrption, additional PPV content can be also sold via messenger).

Gift/tips can also be done on profiles or posts.

Thanks, and let me know if you have any other questions.

Hi there,

Payment system goes like:

• You set up a list of payment providers
• You add taxes, which are added on top/part of any transaction on the site
• Money goes onto your payment provider account
• Users (sellers) receive local wallet balance
• They then can request payouts
• Payouts can either be handled manually or automatically via Stripe Connect.

Out of the box, everyone can register and post content, but you can block this ability by enabling enforced ID checks, so you can only allow verified users to post content (creators).

Admin wise, yes, there are super_admin accounts and you can also add and manage custom admin roles (EG: Moderators).

Regarding live streaming, there are two available drivers, which you can get more info on them over at https://docs.qdev.tech/justfans/documentation.html#streaming .

Basically, the WebRTC provider is like jitsi/zoom (with limits around hundreds/thousands), though our provider advertises scalability over these limits. The other, RMTP based one has no limits – you can live stream to millions, with bigger latency (more similar to TV broadcasting).

This is a social media network for the most part, don’t feel like cateogires are necessary. We do look forward on implementing tags, which should offer a similar functionality on the other hand.

Hope that makes sense, but do let me know if you have any other questions.

Hi thanks for the replay, just 1 gripe though, strongly disagree with the tags and categories, I think it’s an absolute must have, tag and categories with parent categories would drastically improve your system ie should be optional at least for website owner to either have a free for all or a more controlled environment… if you added these you’d make a lot more sales guaranteed as I’m sure I’m not the only one finding your script thinking it’s ideal for their purpose just to be put off with no tag and category system, I’m considering to buy it and add them myself but I’d lose future updates which sucks and means I’d have to reimplement changes every update

Hi there,

Thanks for the feedback, we’ll have this under the radar.

Thanks, and let me know if you have any other questions.

2. Is it not possible to delete or archive notifications or messages? I’m concerned that they will accumulate over time and may affect loading performance.

Hi there,

Regarding the soketi issues you’ve encountered, these does sounds like a connection issue. Have you been able to launch soketi in debug mode and see if the failed connections logs any errors?

PS: I’ve recently become aware of some small socket-related issues/implementations on some pages (streams), where they are partially broken, so until that is fixed I’d actually recommend using pusher. Anyway, you should still be able to setup soketi either way.

2. There is not archive feature out of the box, but yeah, that could be done with a simple set of sql queries w/o any repercussions on the app side.

However, even on basic mysql, that table should be quite scalable, as we never fetch whole of it’s data, but only small sectors.

Also, other tricks could be done, like partitioning the table or even experimenting with moving it to a non-relational DB.

Overall, so far, there are no performance issues as far as I know.

Thanks, and let me know.

Ok, about the wesocket, I solved it, thanks. As for the translation of that sentence, inserting it like this into my file gives me a 503.

Other problems: When I try to upload a video, I have this error: https://i.postimg.cc/zBw7kgwC/videoerror.png The video can then be seen in the feed, but in this section the preview is not working

Hi there,

Regarding the translation, you need to make sure to enter it as valid json. EG: If adding that as the last line, delete the comma ”,”), as last line shouldn’t have it.

As for the video uploading issue—I think the preview fails to load due to the specific media file (EG: some weirder encoders for that respective media sample), or is this happening for all media files?

The transcoding driver might also play a role in this.

Thanks, and let me know.

Hi there,

No, at the moment there is not.

The blurring function has been tweaked a lot, and the main issue is that we’re using GD, the default image library that comes with all PHP installations.

We could have obtained a better blurring algorithm with other 3rd party libraries like ImageMagick, but the issue is that those are not really widely available on most of the servers.

We do plan to revisit this in the future—but in the meantime, feel free to send me a private message w/ sample/screenshots of your blurred previews, maybe there is something we can do about it.

Thanks and let me know.

Hi there,

There should already be a “Verified” badge that will show up on the user profile or different other places, like post comments.

We have some plans to actually replace that icon and check if it should added in any other places.

Thanks and let us know.

Hi there,

We will include more payment providers over time. A new one has been prepped for the next update already.

Can’t make any promises CoinPayments.net net yet, but I have added it to our internal list of possible upcoming payment providers.

Thanks & let us know.

Hi there,

Regarding referrals, the way it works is described over this docs link @ https://docs.qdev.tech/justfans/documentation.html#referrals .

The main takeaway is that users will only earn money if the user they refer is a creator and sells content. The user who initially referred it, will then receive a percentage of their sales.

This money is considered “advertising” money, and the platform owner ultimately ends up paying for if that makes sense.

Regarding withdrawals, no, there is no deduction, but the costs could be calculated based on the available data.

Hope that makes sense, but do not hesitate to let me know if you have any other questions.

Thanks!

Hi there,

There are no known errors regarding the email verification system.

Q: What error are you getting exactly?

You might get an error if for example, you attempt to verify an email/account, while being already logged in on the platfrom, on a different account (this is a quite common false-positive).

Thanks and let me know.

I see my bad for not noticing it. By the way when it the next update?

No problem.

Regarding updates, we do not have an exact ETA but we do got some updates ready to go, will most likely be done in the following few days.

Thanks.

Hi there,

Thanks for the suggestion. We do plan to add more storage providers in the upcoming updates.

Thanks.

Hi there,

To be honest, I am unsure if Envato allows payments from Russia.

At one point, they allowed Skrill, which could have worked, but not sure at the moment.

Best would be to check this with Envato support if needed.

Thanks.

Hi there,

No, at the moment, such trial plans are not available, but we do plan to look into this possibility in the future—will let you know if I have any news on this one.

Thanks, and let me know if you have any other questions.

Hi there,

Unfortunately, there is no MetaMask implementation at the moment.

We do have some notes on it regarding a possible payment provider implementation, so this will be re-visited.

Thanks.

Hi there,

Unfortunately, there is no MetaMask implementation at the moment.

However, this is something we’d like to research in the future.

Will let you know if we have any news on it.

Thanks.

Hi there,

Replied with additional info over your DM/email message.

Thanks and let me know if you have any other questions.
