  • It sounds like you mean "private" ones then:-)

  • TIL... 😜

  • Instructions unclear, now have a perfectly functioning system whereas before it would show ads in the Start Menu. Should I start over and do again?

  • Works for Mother's Day as well

  • No cap, tis fr fr

  • bc work emails need to be more secure than classified war plans... for some fucking reason

  • Thank you for confirming that you are reachable at your listed email address! We will not contact you anymore, but we have already sold this information to our corporate sponsors, have the shittiest day imaginable!:-)

  • You jest but...

    Enshittification never sleeps, stealing all ideas that it can possibly get away with!

  • If it helps, there is a difference between the software PieFed vs. the current selection of instances, like PieFed.social is the flagship instance and I have never seen NSFW stuff on it, although there is a NSFW tag (+ also a NSFL one as well). But other instances may choose to host NSFW content if they want to.

  • Hrm, interesting. This seems a strongly minority opinion though: people enjoy talking, whether it be focused on non-anonymous user-centric short-form content like Mastodon or Friendica, or topic-focused threaded forums like Lemmy + Mbin + PieFed + nodebb + flarum.

    But if you mean only the implementation, you could very well be correct, knowing so much more than I about such. "Most people" simply want stuff delivered to them for free, not really thinking about how it gets done. I appreciate that you actually take the time to care:-).

    I will add that I for one have no desire to visit a non-closed social network, such as 4chan, bc the amount of spam and trash seems likely to be insurmountable. That said, we need not be limited by what Reddit would do, and that is actually one of the chief things that I appreciate about PieFed - that it is moving beyond what Reddit offered, and is desiring to continue much further along those lines, rather than convert into purely profit making.

  • None work with Voyager. Soon all should work with Interstellar. Thunder is a special case where it currently being tested.

    In general app support is very new and hit or miss - the webpage is the preferred method of access (though that should change this year as the changes continue to roll out and push ahead:-).

  • It is great to know your options, and it sounds like you know what you want!

    Some things like categories of (multi-)communities are worth switching for all on their own, for some people but ofc not for everyone:-).

  • Your points seem phrased unnecessarily adversarially. Flairs are a brand-new feature, but if it helps, polls were added a year ago and those federate - not to Lemmy of course that lacks them entirely despite repeated requests to add them for many years, but to other federated platforms that have them e.g. Mastodon.

    I've always disliked the spirit of "anonymous voting", and am glad that they discontinued that.

    I do not see how what you are saying is all that different from Lemmy.

    It is easy to criticize from afar - it is hard to actually build something. But PieFed is managing!

  • Be careful asking for new features on PieFed: usually when that happens only about a week goes by before the request actually gets released!:-)

  • No. There is a fork of Thunder, but afaik it hasn't made it into the main code yet (and I just tried it but it would not load any posts for me). Thunder support is probably not all that far away now, and Voyager may one day follow, but not today, so if Voyager is a must for you then you have to stay with Lemmy.

    I just tried Interstellar and while it is getting better it's not quite there yet imho, e.g. clicking a link to https://piefed.social/post/815233 from inside it wants to open it in a web browser rather than simply go to the post in Interstellar.

    I prefer the web browser interface to PieFed - it's fantastic. I liked Voyager too so I get it, but for me the features offered by PieFed far exceeds the fun of browsing on Voyager.
