Web developer. Lead developer of PieFed

  • Very nice!

    Yuu might want to move Pixelfed down into the Photos clump.

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

    Jump

  • Yes, I haven't made it easy to find people yet, intentionally.

    Mastodon is 20x bigger than Lemmy, in terms of the amount of people using it. So once they start sending us their toots in earnest, we could be looking at a 2x increase in federation load, easily. Could be 10x within a few weeks.

    So I'm not keen to unleash that flood all at once. I'll adjust PieFed to cope with it as it builds up slowly.

    I'll add that font to PieFed.

  • We have rate limits (a quota by another name) on posting and commenting. Why not on votes? Casting a vote causes as much network activity as posting a comment.

    On everyone's profile is a bar showing how much of their quota has been used. I'll be monitoring this to see what happens. If it's cramping everyone's style too much then it'll be removed.

  • Not currently. But that could change!

    I'm pretty sure that on shared instances with more than a few dozen users All would become swamped with trash from Mastodon and basically unusable. But maybe the Hot sort would cope, if Mastodon posts had few likes...

    This is one of those things that can only be found out once it's in production and the feature is being used a bit. So far https://piefed.social/c/microblogs?sort=new is pretty tame but it could become a flood, easily.

    Sometimes development is like feeling your way through a dark room.

  • GUI for my OS (D.eSystem 6.0.6 alpha)

  • That is the convention. It is also common for devs to make a new branch for each release so you can issue updates for that version by adding a commit to that branch.

  • There's a follow button on each account's profile. So first find one of their posts/comments and then go to the author of it.

    Also if you go to https://piefed.social/instances, find the instance you like and then go to the people in that instance, there are Follow buttons everywhere.

    I'm not making this slick and easy to use, yet. I don't want everyone to suddenly follow tons of people and cause the server to melt or whatever. This following functionality could increase the federation work the server needs to do in unpredictable ways so I'll be monitoring things and dealing with issues as they arise for a while, before going big on it.

  • Is it just me or did article headlines just get bigger?

    Jump

  • Yeah. I just changed it back, thanks for bringing it up.

    You can set the heading size using this custom css 

     css  
        
.post_list .post_teaser h3 {  
  font-size: 16px;  
}

  • “Televised Nervous Breakdown”: CEO of Palantir Suffers a Bit of a Meltdown During Live Interview

    Jump

  • I think so. He meant the capitalists, who are his customers, want to own their means of production. Not rent it from their competitors or suppliers.

    First time I've seen that phrase used that way but it works.

  • One thing I think Lemmy is missing: recurring community events

  • Have a Quake 3 Arena tournament.

  • Here's the segment:

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yI-0FKFfO54

    He seemed pretty coherent to me. At times clearly thinking faster than his mouth can keep up but really no big deal.

    Pretty interesting how he's fully accepted that there will be "a wealth tax" as a result of a backlash against AI. And how the CEOs he knows are "livid" about how totally useless AI is even after they jumped in boots and all, lol
