Development guide

[renatolond]

Hi, thanks for your work in Pixelfed :)

I couldn't find any docs around how to setup pixelfed for development, I see you mentioned homestead in pixelfed/pixelfed#257, but I'm unsure if I should just setup homestead and it will work out of the box or if there's something extra I'd need to do. Could you point me in the right direction?

I did, but there's a lot of stuff that seems production-centered (such as setting up nginx/apache, file permissions, etc), which is why I was not entirely sure if it was all applicable for a dev env :)

As far as I'm aware there are commands like php artisan serve and npm run dev but I'm not entirely sure how they all work exactly.
