  • No obvious signs, nope. It wasn't until I started using it in earnest that I got suspicious and then when trying to work on the code it became very clear.

  • What's one healthy habit you're trying to build?

  • Listen more, talk less. Ask better questions.

  • There's a bug in PieFed. Take it easy.

  • Well, yeah. There are lots of reasons. But basic self-interest is something we can all agree on.

  • Still a long way to go on the Mastodon integration front

  • Or reply to any Mastodon post with @piefed_meta@piefed.social ^^^ and that puts the parent into the community.

  • Oh!

    Maybe we can use the quote boost feature in Mastodon - you'd @ the community in your quote boost and the original post would go into the community (PieFed would need some more code written for this, it won't work at present).

  • I made the mistake of installing Starling recently, not realizing how it was made. I contributed a PR to it, wrote a few issues describing some showstopping bugs, and since then there's been absolutely no activity from the creator.

    That's fine, they are under no obligation to work for free. But I wouldn't have installed it if I knew it was abandonware.

  • Oooo, this is harder than it looks.

  • In Mastodon you can @ mention any community in the body of the post and that should do it.

    e.g. @piefed_meta@piefed.social

  • Yep, seen em. Thanks :)

  • PieFed v1.7 is released: Following People, Faster Browsing & Smarter Moderation

    Jump

  • Very helpful, thanks. I appreciate the effort you put in to explaining your position it gave me a lot to think about.

    As with all software, nothing is written in stone and we can change it if it doesn't work out or has unintended side-effects, etc.

  • Removed

  • Oh, I assumed you're using Summit with the same account that you posted your bug report from.

    I have no idea about lemy.lol, that sounds like an unrelated issue.

  • New Marker Just Dropped for Frequent Upvoters

  • It is also about server load, yeah.

    The server infrastructure that we provide is a commons - a finite shared resource that people use. Why would we let 0.02% of the people take half of it? Couldn't we just rein in that 0.02% and then spend way less money on servers?

  • Yes we're really really going to want to cross-post mastodon content into threadiverse communities. At the moment I find good stuff for this by using https://news.feedseer.com/ but I'd prefer to have that inside PieFed and then cross-post out of Mastodon into the threadiverse (and then have PieFed's comment / thread merging tie-in the mastodon conversation with the threadiverse one).

    It's going to be awesome.
