I'm still gaining experience in hosting PieFed, as the upgrading process is slightly different than what I'm used to. That said, we're up and running on the latest stable version, 1.2.2.

Here's the post with the changelog: https://piefed.social/post/1278967

UI  

Bottom sticky menu on mobile  
Instance-chooser during registration, displaying info about all other instances  
3D rotating tag cloud for communities with lots of hashtags  
Explore menu, with feeds and topics, separate from the Community menu  
Translation function for posts written in languages you can’t understand, uses any LibreTranslate server.  
Advanced search filters on /communities table  
Show poll results without voting  
Nicer formatting on quotes  
Consistent image thumbnail size in post teasers in compact mode  
Communities list shows number of active users not subscriber count  
PWA uses instance logo instead of default PieFed one  
Slideshow doesn’t bug out after a few dozen photos like it used to  
Improve search results by weighting post titles more than bodies  
Mods can set nsfw and nsfl the same way they set flair - with a popup menu in the post list  
Import saved posts & comments and user notes when importing settings  
NSFW-specific functionality, like R18 agreement upon first visit, video auto-play.  
Posting  

New type of post - events, with federation  
Remind me about a post or comment in the future  
Markdown parsing improvements - em-dashes, link syntax, subscript  
Preview markdown while writing a top-level comment  
Support CMYK images without mangling their colorspace when resizing  
Admin & backend  

Log in with LDAP creds stored in LDAP server (in addition to earlier LDAP functionality which stores creds in LDAP server). Helpful for Yunohost-based deployments (coming soon).  
Modlog filtering  
Account passwords stored in Lemmy format (bcrypt) can be used to log in (this is in preparation for the day when Lemmy instances are converted to PieFed instances)  
Instance shutdown process - tell all other instances to stop federating immediately.  
Restrict NSFW access in specified countries (e.g. UK)  
See which users share an IP address  
Really Simple Licensing  
When a new community is made a post is automatically created in [!newcommunities@lemmy.world](/c/newcommunities@lemmy.world)  
Automatically add remote communities mentioned in [!newcommunities@lemmy.world](/c/newcommunities@lemmy.world)  
API  

Automatically-updating Swagger docs to ease frontend development  
Include crosspost count in Post json  
Return thumbnail width/height information with post  
post/replies endpoint which returns nested JSON, better than comments/list  
Federation  

Federate flair changes properly  
When blocking an instance, block it in more places e.g. community lists in sidebar  
Context property on comments and posts to make it easier for NodeBB to backfill  
FEP 3b86 - activity intents  
PieFed.social news  

When a.gup.pe shut down, the photography group became https://piefed.social/c/photography which is doing well.  
Snoopy, Skavau and wjs018 are now admins in addition to rimu.  
https://crust.piefed.social/ is our new testing and development instance.
