  • To those who are new to this whole fediverse/threadiverse/this thing, how has your experience been?

    Jump

  • If you notice a pattern - i.e. someone who posts abusive comments all the time - report their profile and I'll look into banning them from piefed.social to save us all a lot of hassle.

  • PieFed solves this.

  • Feature Idea: Redirect to a instance you're already logged into.

    Jump

  • If your instance already has the post being linked to, the link gets rewritten to point to it instead.

    This doesn't work very well on brand new instances like yours which have few users as you're not getting everything all the time.

    Don't like the PieFed UI design? Try this!

  • piefed.social's scripting creating problem with android-firefox, when many tabs open: pages essentially lock: nothing works, can't load.

    Jump

  • I just opened 35 PieFed tabs on my Android in Firefox with no issues. I have a really low end phone from a few years ago, nothing special.

  • Looking for guidance on modernizing a high-traffic WordPress news site

  • This is good advise, listen to dan. WP Super Cache is amazing although getting it working just right can take some tweaking.

    The Redis Object Cache plugin is worth a try. It'll only take a minute to set up.

    Is it 200k users or 200k page loads? Those are really different as each user will load multiple pages in a month. If it's 200k page loads then that server is way way too powerful (and expensive). Don't let a crappy developer hide their lack of optimization skills by throwing your money at the problem.

  • PieFed 1.6.2 Problem: "Bring it On"

    Jump

  • Hi,

    There's a bug where if you don't join any communities then the onboarding starts again. Technically it's not the trump/musk filter choice that gets you past the onboarding, it's joining a community.

    We need to record the fact that the onboarding is finished, not try to detect that based on community membership.

  • Nextcloud/OneDrive Files-only Replacement

    Jump

  • It exists and I've tried it - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Davfs2

    Thing is, when an app thinks a directory is on a local disk, it does things which do not scale well over a network. e.g. reading every file in the directory to make thumbnails.

    Jump

  • Very similar to what the Nazis did during several elections in Germany during the 1930s. After Hitler became chancellor there were a couple of big elections which could have theoretically turned things around but they made sure people voted a certain way by doing stuff like this.

  • Should we revisit the instance picker to have an easier default choice?

    Jump

  • Yes, that's what PieFed does now.

  • When I do a curl request to the feddit.online API endpoint I can log in fine. If I use an invalid password I get the expected error message.

    To all of those new to Piefed.social - welcome, and this post might be helpful

  • Many people prefer smaller images on the home page - go to https://piefed.social/user/settings and try the "More compact" option in the "Compact UI" field.

    The other option - "Most compact" - is similar to old.reddit which is nice but not to everyone's taste.

    Also try another theme! Amethyst is a popular one and the HPT themes are nice. Also Card Shadow. The rest are kinda experimental.

  • Good point, thanks!

  • Should we revisit the instance picker to have an easier default choice?

    Jump

  • Yes, I agree

  • Should we revisit the instance picker to have an easier default choice?

    Jump

  • The default choice is whatever instance you're currently on.

    From https://piefed.social/auth/instance_chooser:

    "I don't know, help me" scrolls you down to look at the instances (about 1cm, lol). I'm sure THAT could be more helpful!
