PieFed Meta

I'm super impressed by the features I'm discovering using Piefed! I'm going to be experimenting a lot with the keyword filter particularly. Here are some ideas we might add to make Piefed even better. Share you own in the replies.

Some of these options where too long to make it a poll.

On the mobile page. I'm right handed and meant to comment, but the Leave button was blie and right under tge box I was typing and was blue and I didn't even read the Leave and you guessed it, I left.

Suggestion would be to make the Leave button a different color like red? Or move? Idk. :-). Just a thought could just be I'm a silly.

Follow-up: Where can I further research how these technicalities work so as to not spam this community further?

Hi,

Lemmy can also function as a blogging platform. Doing this is as simple as creating a community and enabling the option “Only moderators can post to this community”. Now only you and other people that you invite can create posts, while everyone else can comment. Like any Lemmy community, it is also possible to follow from other Fediverse platforms and over RSS. For advanced usage, it is even possible to use the API and create a different frontend which looks more blog-like.

Does this apply to PieFed as well ?

Thanks

This is probably more of a fundamental question on federation, but in the scenario that you bring online a new piefed instance with the intention of opening it for public registrations, what's the deal on remote communities history? From what I read I think it goes something like this:

• the new instance will only make available content it has obtained by federation since it went live
• end user makes an account, adds a community, and only sees what's been obtained via federation since the instance went live
• if they really really want to engage with a post from the time before the instance went live they need to get the original post url from the source and search it; this allows the instance to pull in that specific post and after that the user can interact with it as normal.

Is that about it? I just want to make sure there aren't any options for bulk community post imports. I've been messing with getting an instance stood up and was initially surprised at how empty things are after the bulk community import; but after reading around a bit I'm arriving at the (hopefully correct) understanding that a new instance will just need to be up and federating for a while to be an instance that will be useful for browsing.

Posting a piefed link on Mastodon used to result in a "preview box" (not sure of the right term) with:

• a thumbnail of the first image in the post
• the post title
• the first line of the post

E.g. https://ohai.social/@klu9/114892796205984469

Now new posts I make on Mastodon with Piefed links give a preview box that only shows "log in to Piefed". (But the earlier posts on Mastodon still show the full preview box.)

I don't know if this is a result of a Piefed change or a Mastodon change. (Or if maybe it's a different PieFed post type? 'Discussion' vs 'Image' vs 'Link' etc)

Any way to make Mastodon+Piefed show the proper preview box?

I am on firefox 141. I noticed today that the button that used to be there is missing

Update: Account has been suspended.

I have banned this user from c/DnA but want others to be aware, to be on the lookout. I didn't click on the link but it's definitely suspicious. Of course I have been verified or I wouldn't even have an account.

Hello everyone,

I'm keen on starting a PieFed instance to maybe replace our Lemmy instance one day. One thing I wasn't able to figure out was the various ways to store images. With Lemmy, images and thumbnails take up a large portion of whatever storage you have, so using Object Storage (like Cloudflair R2, Backblaze B2, Amazon S3) is the way to go to save money.

Is that possible with PieFed yet?

Thanks.

A lemmy server's /instance page shows lists of federated and blocked instances, but piefed's version doesn't seem to have this (you see Online | Dormant | Gone forever | Trusted - and I'm not 100% clear on what some of those mean). Is it possible to see a list of servers that my piefed server has defederated/blocked?

Hi, I think Piefed is a really cool app. Would it be possible to introduce more membership options to your patreon page? Currently it's maximum of 4.50€. Lemmy and Mastodon have a wider range of amount of money you can give to the project.

Are there any apps that support topics and feeds?

I was looking at Voyager on my phone and saw communities I hadn't subscribed to in my home feed, and upvotes on posts I hadn't voted on (or even seen before). When I tried to remove the upvotes, a message said "problem voting, please try again".

Thankfully, when I view PieFed through Firefox, these problems don't exist, so it must be the app. Not overly surprising since it was initially developed for Lemmy, I believe.

Not sure what changed to cause this problem or whether the change was in Voyager or PieFed.

The other day, it was at 96%. This morning, it was at 88%. Now, a few hours later, it's at 80%. What's going on?

I've started a few communities and like it here. I try to be nice and upbeat. My posts have been received well, not seeing downvotes...

Edit: I'm marking this solved. I understand it now. Thank you all for being so helpful!

Edit Edit: After days of upvoting, I'm back at 96%. I juked the stats!

If one of those posts should be obscured, it's not the one about a strategy game with muskets! :D

If you haven't tried @blorp yet, now is a good time! It just added support for @piefed_meta so now it supports both Lemmy and Piefed!

Wow it’s been a crazy month and a half of working on this. This PieFed update was a doozy (mostly due to code debt in decoupling Blorp from Lemmy), but I’m so happy it turned out as well as it did.

Try it yourself!
You will need to click the user icon (top right cornet), login or add account, then select a PieFed server

• iOS
• Android
• Web
• MacOS

PieFed support is still a little experimental. I’m currently working through some issues with comment loading. But I’ve been using PieFed with Blorp for a couple weeks now, and I love it.

If you decide to check it out, keep the app up to date for latest PieFed bug fixes.

Edit: anyone reading this in the future. The NSFW issue mentioned in the comments has been fixed in v1.9.2.

There have been some exciting new things but I sorta don't want to peanut gallery while things are in motion. Whats a good place to hear about changes and give feedback on the particular thing?

PieFed now includes a simple plugin engine so third parties can extend PieFed functionality without adding their code to the main PieFed project. It's pretty simple and bare-bones at the moment and is more of a 'tech preview' stage rather than something to get too serious about.

Each plugin is a directory under app/plugins and must include a init.py file. In that file there must be a plugin_info() function. Plugins can have their code executed by adding a @hook decorator to a function, as in the image above.

The example plugin that comes with PieFed just prints some debugging messages to the console before and after a post is created but the sky is the limit. Eventually plugins could modify data at any stage of the content lifecycle, react to people joining or leaving a community, votes, send email, etc etc.

What I've built today is just the beginning and I'm hoping other contributors will take this framework and add more hooks and incorporate it into the rest of the system.

Tô bem impressionado com o @piefed_meta, achei mais interessante que o Lemmy.
