To see it in action:
Crust.piefed.social (the Piefed development instance)
Not all instances implement it yet, I guess it depends how often they pull from the dev branch
It's now live on https://quokk.au as well!
This is a great feature to hand, as I was reliant on newcommunities and communitypromo to find new comms.
Quokkas!
Well done !

It's crazy how fast development moves when you don't spend all day celebrating censoring your instance.
Or when you use the right tool for the job (Python instead of Rust)
I’m sure to always be in at least the top 10 if not number 1.
Oh great, now I can check if my Taylor Swifties Markov Chains are more popular in Meta’s piefeed instance over Microsoft’s 🙄 /s
Folks, please don’t not fall for Popularity Biases. Just because one instance has more robots talking to each other, doesn’t mean you should join the community.
In that case, Piefed.social has much less users than Lemmy.world, so that does not really fit what you are saying.
I’m saying it’s a terrible heuristic. So does science. So don’t fall for it.
Is there a theme or css for piefed that makes it look more like old reddit? I love the old reddit frontend for lemmy but sadly it seems to abandoned.
Where I'm at so far with a theme. Gotta finish up the top bar with community subscriptions and tidy up the user part on the left before moving onto the feed.
Oh nice, that looks like a great start. Is that just custom CSS you can use in the piefed settings or a full blown them the piefed admin has to install?
As in old.reddit or the old “new” reddit they apparently changed a week ago.
I’ve been messing around with customising themes all week on https://quokka.au, and I would be happy to give it a shot.
I mean like the original reddit layout. So it looks similar like this lemmy front end: old.lemmy.zip
Not really but there one retro theme that i love : irix1998
Not that I know of, and while I hate to shill for Lemmy rather than PieFed, there is just such an interface on the instance you are already on: https://old.lemmy.zip/ . That does sound like a great idea for someone to make though...
Yes I am aware, that’s what I am using right now. But that’S lemmy and I was wondering if I can “transform” piefed in a way that comes closer to that.

Is this different to Lemmy’s communities tab sorted by ‘Top Week’, which sorts by weekly active users?
IMO, the main advantage of Lemmyverse is the better text search and presentation.
Skavau@piefed.social 1 day ago
No it's not. It's just a way to sort by active weekly users, but you can mix and match by filtering with feeds which you can't do on Lemmy.

Lemmy’s view does not allow to search and keep the information, you immediately get into this view that doesn’t show active users

What would a Feed/multicomms’ actively weekly users even be? An aggregate of all the comms weekly users, or just the highest one? Or does Piefed go through all the comms and collect the unique actors (God, that would be an expensive operation)?

The text search on Piefed is similar to Lemmyverse. Example for ‘movies’

So basically this? p.feddit.uk/search?q=movies&type=Communities&sort…
