  • There's also three Fediverse comms (here, ml and zip) like do we really need another one?

  • Does it really matter when you can access the same content from Piefed? It's one of fedi's great strengths that different experiences can be tailored on the same platform.

  • You guys are a lot braver than me lol, I'd never run the Lemmy main branch in prod.

  • why create this post here instead of !fediverse@piefed.social ?

    This community is much bigger? He's asking a question so probably wants input from the most people possible.

  • Seems they're all running the same version, or Piefed doesn't tag releases:

      sh
        
    curl -s https://piefed.social/nodeinfo/2.0 | jq
    {
      "openRegistrations": true,
      "protocols": [
        "activitypub"
      ],
      "software": {
        "name": "PieFed",
        "version": "0.1"
      },
      "usage": {
        "localComments": 12382,
        "localPosts": 1169,
        "users": {
          "activeHalfyear": 561,
          "activeMonth": 309,
          "total": 800
        }
      },
      "version": "2.0"
    }
    
      

      sh
        
    curl -s https://feddit.online/nodeinfo/2.0 | jq
    {
      "openRegistrations": true,
      "protocols": [
        "activitypub"
      ],
      "software": {
        "name": "PieFed",
        "version": "0.1"
      },
      "usage": {
        "localComments": 503,
        "localPosts": 214,
        "users": {
          "activeHalfyear": 85,

        }

    }
    
      
  • Fair point. It probably hard to see these things when you've been in the thick of Lemmy for as long as most of us here have. It's easy to dismiss not liking lemmy-ui because alternative frontends exist (written from Photon), but does that matter when the overwhelming majority of instances use it as their landing page.

  • There's feddit.online and some personal ones I've seen knocking about.

  • What's missing from Lemmy that would make it unattractive to the average user? Remember the majority of users don't post, comment or otherwise interact with the platform beyond voting.

  • Spoken like someone without foot pedals.

  • Irrc, a 'For You' algorithm is on the road map, but it doesn't currently have it.

  • Sex isn’t a “gender orientation” it is really simple biology.

    Gamete size – its really simple.

    Congratulations infertile people, you are now officially sexless.

  • If a post contains content that is not allowed, the post should be deleted, that’s it.

    OK, but what about content that is allowed, but has certain restrictions, like needs to be tagged NSFW. The current workflow to get this changed is: A mod comments under a pot telling the creator to tag it NSFW -> Remove the post -> wait for the creator to edit the post -> restore the post. This seems needlessly complicated and labour intensive, no?

  • It ignores what happens if your PDS provider goes down. While currently Bluesky can repopulate a new PDS with your old data, I don't see how that's going to survive them adding stuff to the AT proto that isn't public and therefore not kept persistently in Bkuesky's servers (e.g. E2EE DMs).

  • I don't have a Sharkey account to test (I really need to move my masto off .social one of these days) but it works in Mastodon

    Here's an example (you'll need to look on Lemmy to see the image):

  • Does anyone on your instance follow the communities you're interested in? Lemmy communities 'boosts' all comments it receives, so you should have them.

  • The labeling idea is pretty interesting, an email service with inbuilt proxy, but your website is pretty light on details. Stuff like pricing or custom domain support is absent.

  • Do you have any recommendations for someone who just uses them for email?
