Fundamental problems with private voting

https://piefed.social/post/956572

Published: June 21, 2025 01:32

Several months ago I have PieFed users the option to vote privately, where an alt/sockpuppet account automatically votes on their behalf. Since then I've been watching to see how it turned out. Finding bigots who upvote transphobia (etc) is harder. To…

https://piefed.social/post/956553

Published: June 21, 2025 01:20

See the install instructions to get the latest release. Switch to the "v1.0.x" git branch to run this release rather than the latest code. Existing instances: git pull git checkout v1.0.0 ./deploy.sh or ./deploy-docker.sh PieFed usage has been…

View Federated Instance status?

https://piefed.social/post/944060

Published: June 18, 2025 00:02

Hello folks: I'm wondering if there's anything in the UI or API to view the status of federation/list of federated instances. Largely, this is for personal curiosity but, it could be useful for users deciding what instance to join and for quickly detecting…

A few questions about the API.

https://piefed.social/post/943590

Published: June 17, 2025 20:50

I've seen a lot of people say the piefed API is similar to the lemmy api. Will it become more distinct as time goes on, or do you plan on keeping them similar? Which version of the lemmy API is it similar to? v3 or v4?

Just kudos.

I post things every so often but honetly I understand people are busy and developing is not a cake walk. I am continually amazed as things just show up. Seperating the comments and posts for users is just massive for evaluating a troll user because the…

Thoughts about private voting

https://piefed.social/post/932027

Published: June 14, 2025 21:52

EDIT: Initial self-votes don't federate, so it seems this specific way doesn't work. Am I missing something, or is Piefed's private voting kinda trivial to reverse engineer as long as every user by default upvotes every post and comment they make? If…

Has anyone else been experiencing federation glitches to and from Piefed?

https://piefed.social/post/917807

Published: June 12, 2025 21:36

For example, things that are posted in one instance being delayed in the other, things that are removed not being removed, name changes not showing up, being directed to the wrong places when searching things, info not showing up letting people know they…

What features made you choose PieFed over Mbin/Lemmy? What features do they have that you’d like to see in PieFed?

Is it okay to promote new PieFed communities here?

https://piefed.social/post/903364

Published: June 11, 2025 14:56

I've created !polls@piefed.social. Normally I would go to the big community promo communities on Lemmy and promote it there. But, since this is a polls community and Lemmy doesn't support polls yet, the community is completely empty when viewed from Lemmy.…

Lemmy have Moderator feed which only show post from community in which you mod.

CORS doesn't work on the piefed API

https://piefed.social/post/896195

Published: June 10, 2025 18:12

Not sure where to post this: the Piefed API doesn't support CORS, at least testing against piefed.social, so requests from webapps like photon, alexandrite, voyager via PWA would not work. Also, is there a way to pass a fedilink to resolve, like Lemmy…

Translations (Interface)

https://piefed.social/post/889539

Published: June 10, 2025 08:00

I'm new here and think it's developing very nicely. Congrats and thank you! Not the most important thing, but maybe it makes sense to collect some feedback on the various translations? In the german interface 'Note' in the profile section is not…

PieFed now has a markdown-based CMS

https://piefed.social/post/889030

Published: June 10, 2025 04:22

This is for admins only. Create a page with the url "privacy" and it will override the default privacy page. Create a page with the url 'about' and the content will be appended to the normal about page. All other urls just function as you'd expect…

The communities menu is now mega

https://piefed.social/post/888803

Published: June 10, 2025 02:03

In web development, the technical term for those popup menus with multiple columns and headings inside is a "mega menu" and I just added one to PieFed. It unifies the topics and feeds menus into one. It only works on a tablet or larger. What do you…

Do new posts in PieFed start with 2 upvotes, by default?

https://piefed.social/post/883333

Published: June 9, 2025 14:23

I just created an account here just a couple of days back, so I don't know if this is normal or a bug, so I thought of asking here first. Today, I posted 3 articles and they all started with 2 upvotes. Not sure if this was the case yesterday too, if it…

Toggle Unread/All view?

https://piefed.social/post/874789

Published: June 8, 2025 13:24

Just started using piefed yesterday and something I immediately miss from lemmy is the ability to toggle between All posts or just Unread/Unhidden posts. There's a really convenient spot for the buttons right between the view selection buttons and the…

Can I condense the feed in browser?

https://piefed.social/post/874738

Published: June 8, 2025 13:05

I've had a bit of a play and configured custom CSS to move the image preview, for Image posts, to the right, rather than centre. What I'd really like is for the preview to be smaller and up, inline with the header text, like the preview image from a Link…

Lemmy to Piefed migration preparations

https://piefed.social/post/871124

Published: June 8, 2025 08:40

Due to the unfortunate down-time of slrpnk.net we are currently researching possible blockers for creating a Lemmy to Piefed migration guide or script for a relaunch in 1-2 months. I have never done such a migration before, but generally it seems possible,…

[Feature Request] gif image animation in profiles and banners

https://piefed.social/post/869736

Published: June 8, 2025 04:05

Currently the profile and banner images that are gifs don't animate/loop in piefed this is different compared to lemmy and mbin. This is also true for other formats like animated jxl, webp and avif, etc. It would also be great if there was an option to…
