Something must have changed now, I can see 4 posts at https://slrpnk.net/c/videogames@piefed.social
- Comment on 21 hours ago:
Yep.
With that limitation and with most of the community moves in the foreseeable future will being from Lemmy to PieFed, not PieFed to PieFed, it's not really a high priority.
- Comment on 1 day ago:
As a PieFed user, soon you don't need to - piefed instances will automatically subscribe to every community in newcommunities@lemmy.world so the local communities-finder will always have everything you ever need.
Coming in v1.2.

- Comment on Most Effective way to search the Threadiverse? 6 days ago:
This isn't exactly what you asked for but:
When you paste the url into the url field, PieFed does a search for you to see if the url has been posted already. If you don't see a warning, proceed.
- Comment on Implementing Portable User Identities with DIDs 1 week ago:
Yep good point. A group is just another type of actor, after all.
- Comment on Implementing Portable User Identities with DIDs 1 week ago:
I like how the
didfield is in addition to the existing actor field, providing a way to gradually transition the protocol to the new way. - Comment on Implementing Portable User Identities with DIDs 1 week ago:
IMO nomadic identity is more important in Mastodon, etc where the fundamental connections of the network are person-to-person - the emphasis is on following other people and having them follow you and that is what determines what content you see. Also being free to leave (and go somewhere else) is a killer feature that centralized social networks cannot offer and nomadic identity really leans into that strength.
In contrast, in the threadiverse you can't follow other people - you join communities. Also when a post is viewed the author is just another piece of meta data, the focus is really on the content. With Mastodon they make a much bigger deal about who is saying the thing, display their avatar much bigger, etc. On Mastodon they're YOUR posts that are strongly tied to you. But here, the posts you make are kiinda more like contributions to a shared wiki (community).
So in PieFed/Lemmy if you need to drop your account on an instance and create a new account on another it's really much less of a loss and not really disruptive at all. You can just import your settings from the old account and continue to post in all the same communities you did before. The need for a nomadic identity just isn't as strong.
Moving communities to another instance, tho, now that would be great. It's on my very long list.

- Comment on Piefed now has a built-in alternative to Lemmyverse to discover active communities, with the "Active people" filter on the communities page (weekly basis) 1 week ago:
The other day I made a feature which automatically adds every community posted to newcommunities@lemmy.world. And another feature that automatically posts to that comm whenever a local community is created.

This seems like as good a time as any to plug !pies@piefed.social for everything pie-related.
- Comment on Exclusive: Meta created flirty chatbots of Taylor Swift, other celebrities without permission 1 week ago:
"Flirty chatbots" is a real tame way to say "AI-generated CSAM", which is what some of it was.
- Comment on 1 week ago:
You could upload the files to a S3 bucket, which would give them a url on the web. Then just make a PieFed post which links to each MP4 file.
Piefed will detect that it's a video post and embed it in the page with player controls. If you use a community just for your videos then the RSS feed of that community will effectively be a podcast.
S3 buckets are pretty cheap but 30 tb is still going to cost you. Transcode to a smaller file before upload, ideally.

They're primarily in Germany but there is some US presence too. From the join Mastodon site:
Mastodon, Inc. (EIN 92-3333630) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit entity in the United States that supports the growth and operational capabilities of Mastodon, including being able to receive tax-deductible U.S. donations and in-kind support.

- Comment on Mobilizon team got new funding, which changes and fixes would you like? 1 week ago:
Also I'm about 25% of the way through adding events to PieFed, which federate with Mobilizon. So communities will have events inside.
- Comment on Mobilizon team got new funding, which changes and fixes would you like? 1 week ago:
Yeah it's just for mods at present. But I like where you're going with the building-community-knowledge angle and can definitely see why opening up the access and integrating it better with posts would be a nice change!
- Comment on The AI vibe shift is upon us 2 weeks ago:
I think it was the Meta chat bot doing pedo stuff with kids that was the turning point. Time will tell.
- Comment on CrowdBucks is a new payment system for the Fediverse 2 weeks ago:
I think https://liberapay.com/ does that?
- Comment on CrowdBucks is a new payment system for the Fediverse 2 weeks ago:
Stripe has an amazing amount of currencies for payouts and accepts all kinds of payment methods, really really comprehensive. Pretty low fees too. Simple API and great great docs. They're all good.
- Comment on CrowdBucks is a new payment system for the Fediverse 2 weeks ago:
That's really nicely done, good work!
- Comment on CrowdBucks is a new payment system for the Fediverse 2 weeks ago:
We really need to figure out the payment system for the fediverse.... Good to see something trying things.
When I put Stripe integration into PieFed I had absolutely zero donations through there, meanwhile my Patreon and Librepay had dozens of dollars in donations. Dozens!
People really really didn't want to donate directly, for some reason. So I disabled the Stripe option.
Instead, Patreon takes 8% and their only payout method is Paypal so Paypal takes a percentage (5%?) and then when I transfer it to my bank from Paypal there's a currency conversion so they take another 5%? and then I pay tax on whatever remains...
I wish CrowdBucks better luck than I had.
- Comment on I made a Firefox fork with Fediverse integration 2 weeks ago:
It doesn't access old browser history but from the moment it is installed onwards it sends every url you visit to 7 instances, to do a search.
- Comment on I made a Firefox fork with Fediverse integration 2 weeks ago:
I guess if the logic for finding the posts was done on the server then you would only need one API call - the extension would just send through whatever url it had. That would be more efficient.
If this gets popular I'd be open to adding a dedicated API endpoint for this to PieFed.
Kind of a privacy nightmare though, aye. Sending your whole browser history to a third party... But that's a whole different issue.
- Comment on I made a Firefox fork with Fediverse integration 2 weeks ago:
All it would need is about 10 simultaneous users and the load on the server would be unacceptable to me, as an instance admin. I only run PieFed instances so this isn't going to impact me unless you add PieFed support (please don't).
