  Did you put the right URL? That URL links to a comment about the 4-chan image blocking and reputation loss.

  If this is the feature you consider to be missing from Lemmy, then yes, please let it remain missing. I definitely don’t want anything like it.

    Copy pasting the comment content just to be sure

    Edit : asked Rimu, here’s the answer:

    I wrote a long message about how that checkbox only notifies about federated posts.

    So the difference is for local posts it blocks the creation of the post entirely, but for federated posts it just notifies the admin.

    Maybe that filter is the one missing, if that’s the case, that will be changed soon, as it always has been for every time a similar issue was raised

    • the thorn character filter
    • 196 and other memes communities not being federated by default
    • the “this filter” being configurable

    My personal stance is that Piefed has several features that Lemmy has been lacking for more than a year, and that prevent the Threadiverse from growing

    • multicommunities
    • onboarding process asking new joiners what they are into
    • crossposts comments consolidation
    • communities moderation features
    • posts and user flairs
    • keyword filters

    None of the Piefed users ever said Piefed was perfect, that the code was elegant, or that there were no issues with filters such as the the three examples I listed above.

    What we see from time to time is people spreading literal misinformation about Piefed, saying that those filters can’t be disabled by an admin (they can), and/or that a fork is needed to do so (it’s not) .

    That’s why I created that post, because for whatever reason Piefed seems to now have haters, which seems counterproductive as it has the unique features listed above.

    I personally would prefer people to say “Lemmy is fine, PieFed is fine too, both can operate with each other, my personal preference is X” rather insulting Piefed or Lemmy devs.

      Having features does not make it good software. It remains true that the code quality is abysmal and there ARE hardcoded blocks based on what the dev(s) dislike.

      I hope I am not spreading any misinformation. If any of my complaints is factually incorrect, please point it out.

        Hardcoded configurable blocks disabled by default.

        Those features might not be for you, but from experience trying to get new people onboard, they help a lot. I made a detailed post about this there: https://piefed.zip/c/fedimemes/p/1012596/not-sure-where-all-of-this-come-from
