Since it seems to be Question and Answer time for @dansup® about @pixelfed, MySQL/MariaDB support when?

This is the main obstacle for me to self-host it.

#pixelfed @pixelfed development
If I'm missing something then apologies, but if serious question, both already are.. and is more supported than postgres..

Nice, last year it wasn't the case, and I had to manually edit a file to enable MariaDB support. This is one of the reason I had put Pixelfed self-hosting on the back burner despite a strong interest in it.
