PieFed Hot

Recently saw some posts about interest in following posts/comments for replies with PieFed, which made me wonder about essentially the opposite....

There's been a lot going on lately. Here's some highlights from the last 4 weeks and who contributed:...

I noticed responding to posts in communities hosted at lemmy.ml gives the following warning:...

Until now, development has proceeded pretty loosely - we work on whatever seems cool at the time. This is fine but if we collaborate on a decision about priorities then perhaps we'll all be pulling in the same direction a bit more often. If the decision is made in public with all stakeholders, perhaps we'll get some buy-in....

I made this post, but the image had an error, there was an error when I tried to edit it, there was an error when I tried to delete it....

Moderators can:...

There's more than one way to do this, of course. For group-based forums like piefed, I think the most promising way is to automatically create a local community for each person that someone wants to follow. Incoming activity is then put into the appropriate community, and so you have a consistent UI of UserA has posted to...

I put together a nostalgic theme, in the style of 1980s monitors. It uses the same font that the Hercules graphics adapter had. Try it out by choosing "Hercules 1982" at https://piefed.social/user/settings....

Lemmy's spoiler format is...

In honor of Trans Visibility Day, I've made a theme for PieFed inspired by the trans pride flag and set it as the default theme.

Hello, i am just having a look around piefed. I was surprised to find out that my main account has a low rep. It wasn't easy to find another person with low rep, actually only was able to find one other after briefly looking for it. Now i am kind of offended, haha....

I've been thinking about what to do about cross-posts (e.g. where the same link is uploaded to both fediverse@lemmy.world and fediverse@lemmy.ml)....

For me personally, it makes sense to have one 'announcement'-style community per software as part of the main Fediverse topic, instead of delegating it to a subtopic

As a community grows in popularity, it often shifts from hosting insightful discussions to attracting memes, funny, and low-quality content. This change appeals to a larger audience interested in such content, creating a vicious cycle where valuable discussions are overshadowed and marginalized by the platform's primary...

I’m excited to see the new meme browsing interface feature in PieFed. I expected this to be yet another Reddit clone using a different software stack and without any innovation. I believe there’s an opportunity to take things a step further by blending the best elements of platforms like Reddit and image boards like...

Discord is a very popular chat application which has a business model that is partly based around the concept of Server Boosts. In this model, people "boost" (sponsor) the "servers" (chat rooms) they are part of. They do so by paying Discord the parent company, but it unlocks benefits for both the chat rooms they are a member of...

Not sure if you noticed but half the threadverse is memes. They're not my thing but I enjoyed putting together the best meme consumption experience I could....

By default, all posts show up in search results on #PieFed, #Lemmy and #Kbin. But in a first for the threadverse, PieFed has just added some privacy features that Mastodon had for a long time – being searchable is now optional!...

Or both?

PieFed seems to be the only fedi software that allows you to automatically receive notifications on a post when you comment on it (which i love!) so I'm wondering if this was something custom you built since no one else has been able to ship this.

Good luck with the project!

Hi all,...

This is probably just me, but I found INSTALL.md to be a bit confusing....

Look for the wee magnifying glass on the main menu. For logged-in users only.

When you make a normal 'link' post, if the url ends with .mp3 then PieFed will provide audio player controls on the page and put a little speaker icon on the post teaser, shown in lists of posts....
