No, it wasn't.

I pressured for one lol because of this

Thanks, the CSS helped and Photon looks nifty!

Hello everyone. New to piefed but not to the fediverse. Wanted to try this one after being on lemmy for over a year.

I noticed a funny thing: while boost lets me log in and see the posts, it only shows a part of the comments of this post.

Then I logged with blorp and instantly saw them all.

woohoo!

Reddit has turned into a cesspool of censorship and corporate/government astroturfing and sock-puppetry, I blocked the entire domain in my hosts file years ago.

Apparently there's been some bans over Epstein files shit too.

Unfortunately it's where people post things, and I've already cut out Facebook, Threads, Xhitter, Insta, whatever, so if I need to find information about something happening, that's pretty much the only place left for me to look (nowadays when there's only like 7 websites in the entire world).

Whether I go once per month or per day during high activity timeframes, it's where some content is. And sometimes not even then: irl, the entirety of Reddit is considered a niche habitat for nerds. So if you want to know a specific thing - like a schedule for a local park, you pretty much have to use whatever they chose to post their content to, or else go without.

Blorp dev here. Trying to support all PieFed features but I'm a little behind:

Currently working on:

• PieFed feeds (basically the same as Lemmy v1 multi community support)

Up next:

• Emoji reactions
• Create poll posts
• Create event posts

The PieFed devs are very fast and a little hard to keep up with 😅. But tbh, we already support more than enough of the PieFed api for you to have a great time imo. Please reach out to me if a specific one of those missing features is preventing you from joining.

What's the benefit of this whitelist only model vs a blacklist model?
Wouldn't this just promote people to build their own custom echo chambers? I sort by Hot on All and only blacklist truly troublesome users. My reasoning is that I'll see more viewpoints and expand my horizon.

I am not suggesting people have to use "Subscribed" exclusively, or at all, just that the onboarding can bloat people's subscriptions in a way some people dislike if they click too many topics to follow.

Rather go without than consume corporate fascist (but I repeat myself) crap.

Love the layout. It achieves the impossible: looking low-tech while somehow still being bloated. My OCD is screaming, but challenge accepted.

There's a powerful API available, and from checking why your account has a low reputation warning I see you're into vibe coding. So I guess you could have your fun putting together your own user interface.

Personally I like the default one. Each to their own.

Huh. Sounds like a bug in boost, if you know where to report those!

A lot of the apps were developed for Lemmy first (as you're probably aware) and Piefed support is often experimental still, so it's not unheard of that there could be some bugs here and there.

You might be interested in choosing your language(s) in the settings. By default none are selected, meaning that all languages will be displayed.

You'd miss out on some great German memes though.

Oh that's a good point! Thanks!

RIP German meme culturization

Yeah, Vibers get a lot of hate. But honestly, who cares about rep points? I sure don't. The whole system is counterproductive—it just forces everyone to think exactly the same way. If you don't, you get shut out of the 'cool' crowd.

The reason you're getting shut out is because you write your posts with a LLM. Goodbye.

I've just added Photon - https://p.piefed.social/

Once you've registered you might like to try these alternative frontends - log in with your piefed.social credentials

Do you know if any apps support the piefed exclusive features like subscribing to threads?

Well hello, fellow social, I sure do love socialing.

Hello stranger, I hope you will find our settlement to our liking. All is not good and well though, we seem to have an infestation of radioactive bugs in our fields that are eating the crops. If you are willing to take care of them we will pay you with some random useless items that are worth absolutely nothing.

Hi ! Piefed has a wiki :)

https://piefed.social/community/fediverse/wiki/piefed-overview

You can check mobile app but the page hasn't been updated for a while. I need to catch up. Hopefully it will be done this week :)

https://piefed.social/community/fediverse/wiki/piefed-app

Best I have found for tablet use so far.

It looks interesting but no way to post or make groups, so it’s a nonstarter. I’ll check out Lemmy.

Huh? You should be able to post.

Make groups? Do you mean communities?

You can in a few days, it's just there's a delay to prevent trolling.

Happy to be here! One of my goals for this year is to significantly decrease the amount of time I spend on centralised social media sites and apps.

I've made Mastodon, Piefed, and Matrix accounts.

Having been glued to the Reddit homepage for the better part of a decade, feels exciting to actually be somewhere new for a change!

Hey all :)

i just tried to create a post on c/linux but it is asking me for a URL and i have absolutely no idea what to enter here... https://i.imgur.com/EYCeQ1F.png

can somebody please explain this to me?!

If you want to make a discussion post instead of URL, click the "Discussion" tab.

oh, derp. this is for just linking something, gotcha! and thanks!

Hello, I got flair :3

This is fresh a social reply to your now 2 month old social comment!

Hello pineapple_pizza, I'm puz.

What's RSS feed ?

To make sure you don't confuse them i present both :

RSS feed

The RSS feed are a way to get notification when there is a new content published and read them. Aaron Swarz helped to developp this format.

• https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aaron_Swartz

To use rss feed you need an RSS feed reader.

Piefed's Feeds

Feeds on Piefed are personal multicommunities for now they only exist on piefed. It allows users to group communities as !opensource@lemmy.ml !opensource@programming.dev !opensource@europe.pub into a single feed. Like this one ~linux@piefed.social
