Also PieFed can import those exports that Lemmy makes.

So much whataboutism in the comments

Looks like Mr Taco needs to manufacture another crisis to keep the crisis train rolling.
- Comment on OpenAI featured chatbot is pushing extreme surgeries to “subhuman” men 2 days ago:
Totally negligent on behalf of OpenAI to let this thing into their store. Let's see if they take it down now that the spotlight is on.
- Comment on Is there a server that doesn't require allowing javascript of a million other servers? 1 week ago:
Yeah I think it'd be worth getting the voting buttons working, those are pretty key functionality.
The icons being stored in a font is kinda problematic (some browsers choke, large font file) but on the other hand it's so great being able to set the color of them in CSS, which I found difficult when they are a SVG.

In https://piefed.social/user/settings there are two different compact modes to choose from, which shrink the images to varying degrees.
I don't know of any way to determine how JS-heavy a link is.

Voting, lol. Kinda important.
Dropdown menus. They're not really needed but life sucks without them.
Can't manually switch between dark and light mode (only automatically based on browser settings).
There's probably more but I haven't seriously tried to use PieFed for long without JS. Fundamentally it's built HTML and CSS first, with sprinkles of JS added on for funsies rather than the modern way of being all about JS.
- Comment on Is there a server that doesn't require allowing javascript of a million other servers? 1 week ago:
Yes.
PieFed uses very minimal javascript (it 95% works with JS entirely disabled) and you can access all the same communities and posts.

- Comment on A technology community - with flair 1 week ago:
As well as flair on posts, people can use flair on themselves in the comments, to indicate what their expertise or experience is, etc.

Check out Big Blue Button - https://demo.bigbluebutton.org/
Their website talks all about using it for teaching students but it's really just like Jitsi with more features.

I wonder if the surplus goods that would have been sent to USA will instead flood other markets and bring down prices there.
- Comment on What are the minimum or recommended requirements for a personal home server? 2 weeks ago:
The things I paid attention to was
USB3 - you need this otherwise connecting external drives will be a joke
Motherboard needs to accept up to 32 GB of RAM. Mine currently has only 8 but knowing I can upgrade is nice.
Quiet - must be silent when idle.
CPUs of less than 8th? gen will suck at video transcoding due to lacking certain capabilities. Important if running jellyfin, etc.The beauty of self hosting is it's all about your individual circumstances so you priorities and acceptable tradeoffs will differ.

- Comment on Post flair in PieFed 4 weeks ago:
Tags, aka hashtags, are instance-wide (not just in a community) and interoperate with Mastodon, Pixelfed, Mbin. Anyone can make a new hashtag and they are completely unmoderated.
Flairs are a limited list determined by each community's mods and are only used in that community. They will federate with other PieFed instances and with Lemmy (when they finish coding what they're calling "tags", a really unfortunate choice of name).

- Comment on Is there an easy way to create blocklist of post or comment for other people? 1 month ago:
This idea is quite similar to what Bluesky is doing, with "Labels" https://docs.bsky.app/docs/advanced-guides/moderation.
We'd need some way to crowdsource the verification and validity of the labels so people can't just put low-quality or abusive labels everywhere.
It could potentially reduce the amount of work moderators need to do because spam would be labelled as such by anyone and if a few others also label it the same then it would reach a threshold where the label becomes active.
Does anyone have experience with this way of moderating content on Bluesky? How well does it work in practice?
- Comment on Ditch the DIY Drama: Why Use Fedify Instead of Building ActivityPub from Scratch? 1 month ago:
Imagine you want to write a competitor to PostgreSQL and you start out by importing SQLite into your project and building on top of that. To you it seems like a good idea because you've never written a DB app before and the only DB you've ever seen before is SQLite. You'll get a prototype real fast but you'll never build a PostgreSQL equivalent because you never learned the foundational knowledge of how a DB works and because SQLite forecloses all the pathways you need to get there.
Same thing.
- Comment on Ditch the DIY Drama: Why Use Fedify Instead of Building ActivityPub from Scratch? 1 month ago:
Because outsourcing your core business processes is a bad idea. A fediverse app that relies on a library to do all the fediverse stuff is going to have a bad time. Not straight away, but eventually.

It is theoretically possible, the devs of NodeBB, Mbin and PieFed were discussing it the other day - https://community.nodebb.org/topic/18737/moving-topics
