PieFed Meta

On lemmy you can cross-post (share) posts to other communities. On piefed I couldn’t find anything similar. Am I missing something?

https://piped.video automatically linked to my music post (started c/ListenParty a bit earlier) - what is it? It’s not loading, as far as I can tell. https://piefed.social/c/listenparty/p/1462454/who-is-william-onyeabor

I recently noticed that Piefed handles cross instance reports better than Lemmy, i.e. if you moderate a remote community and a Piefed user reports someone from yet another instance, the report actually seems to reach you.

A comment I posted is missing from where I posted it, but I can't find anything about it in modlogs. What's this mean?

Hello! I've been mostly away from Lemmy/Piefed for a bit (important to take a break for mental health) but, was hoping that someone could point me to Piefed plugin examples/docs.

I tried using the translation button, but it didn't seem to work as expected. The post page reloaded, but the description just went away.

Sorry for the alarming title but, Admins for real, go set up Anubis.

I got a lot of backlash for a thread on Lemmy the other day about how the "federation" system is fundamentally broken by its lack of Tor support.

I think that's some important missing functionality.

I noticed that after editing a post's alt texts, it doesn't change. Is it supposed to be that way or is it an oversight?

When the GUI editor is enabled there won't be a 'Insert image' button below the post, you can use the image icon. This one:

*I'm not actually in the shower

I like the idea of Scaled sort so I tried it out but there is a lot of posts from communities like this !furryswimming@pawb.social or !kemonomoe@ani.social

I would like a script that given a list of my liked instances gives me the piefed instances that federate with all of them. Is there something like that?

It'd be nice to be able to tag certain users with a color, emoji, or text. It would help with noticing users that have been helpful/friendly, or users that post certain genres of content.

Rather than a format like piefed.social/post/long_number, posts how have a url that includes the community name and title in it.

Next to list and tiling, how about a videoplayer view?

Some meme or image-based communities will prefer to set this to 'Image'. Mods can edit the community settings to change it.

I enjoy the connect for lemmy app and I was wondering if anyone can recommend something similar for piefed. If such a thing exists.

Hi, I made this post a couple of hours ago, from piefed.social to mander.xyz but it hassn't appeared yet in the relevant community there.

On ActivityPub.Space, I started adding links out to various implementors' development announcements.

I've followed all the frequent posters on piefed.social using my mastodon.social account so we should be seeing a lot more PieFed content showing up there now. But unless you use hashtags, I'll be the only one seeing it!

Y'all made YT compatible with my network setup! Thanks! I did not think that was possible and I would be using a foss client forever.

When instances get older, they can become harder to maintain due to storage and high usage issues with risks of donations drying up.

I was thinking about moderation in PieFed after reading @rimu@piefed.social mention he doesn’t want NSFW content because it creates more work to moderate. But if done right, moderation shouldn’t fall heavily on admins at all.

On piefed.social I don't want to have much NSFW content to oversee because it's an extra moderation burden but there is plenty of it on other instances.

Hi it seems to be not possible to request communities to be added to topic if there is I would like to know I want Iran to be added to the Middle East topic in regional

TL;DR I want Mastodon hashtags treated like communities.

This guy is literally messaging people after he gets downvoted because he doesn't like the word "Bro".

It would be nice to have log in with codeberg since many of us use privacy respecting services it would be a good SSO option

On Lemmy, it is possible to upload an image by pasting it from the clipboard into the URL or Body field.

So, PieFed's way of retrieving a post that you're viewing on a "wrong" instance is quite slow for the user. You press the icon with the magnifying glass, scroll to the bottom of the page, read texts on both of the buttons, choose the correct one (Retrieve post), then wait for the page to load – which is suprisingly slow, then paste the URL in the field and press enter, and then wait for the next page to load and still have to press a link.

I seem to see less posts than in my lemmy instance. Is this normal?

They all show fine but they haven't actually posted. Any ideas?

We only have at most 2 years of content in a community and most of those posts have no tags so I was finding that the tag cloud on most communities didn't show many posts after clicking on a tag. Uninspiring.

PieFed allows you to specity CSS in your settings so you can make it look however you like. What CSS do you use to improve your experience?

I'd like to have full titles (e.g. multiline) in any of the two existing tile themes. Is that possible?

.. is waaaay too far down in the page. Please consider it floating on top, e.g. next to the Community title.

There is also a wiki page that lists more info about what each version supports...
