PieFed help

Recent versions of Lemmy have the ability to set a custom thumbnail for a post:

Is this possible with PieFed? This is especially helpful when some sites fail to get a thumbnail (e.g. YT videos is a common one).

Hey all! I recently had some reports on my community !lemmybewholesome@lemmy.world that didn't come through on this account. It only came through on my lemmy world one despite me being mod on each account. Any ideas why?

It's the same with!womensstuff@piefed.blahaj.zone I only get the notifications on this account not my others

Is it possible to block a whole instance?

I'd like to block lemmy.ml and lemmygrad.ml because of the admin's shady suppression of anyone who disagrees with their distorted perspective.

If you're unaware why you should block lemmy, check out !meanwhileongrad@sh.itjust.works

I don't post often either main posts or comments, but I just noticed that the current default posting language is the first enabled language in the Content Language Preference setting.

I can't recall whether this has actually been this way or not. I recall there was a bug that posting language was default to Portuguese a while ago. Is this another bug like that?

If not, I'd like to set my posting language.

TIA.

And if so, how?

I made this post https://piefed.social/post/931182

But when I browse Lemmy, I can't see it. aka. it's missing on https://lemmy.world/c/southafrica@piefed.social

Is it a ID10T User error? or is something else happening

Hey all! Weve just moved our comm from !WomensStuff@lazysoci.al to !Womensstuff@piefed.blahaj.zone How long will it take for posts to go over? Right now almost nothing is showing and it's been about 12 hours

The copy feed option doesn't seem to work. I can however create a new feed, just not copy an existing one.

Do I need to use a third-party service to host an image before posting an image into a comment?

As far as I remember, it was straight forward in Lemmy/Mbin

I am old school and I've never been able to move beyond "sort by old" (we are talking almost 30 years of using what is now positioned as "social media").

Is there a possibility of "sort by old" being added to the comment sorting defaults? :)

Hi,

I wanted to update the sidebar of !monitors@piefed.social (recently moved from lemm.ee and sidebar makes references to lemm.ee rules).

Is there a URL for piefed.social rules that I could link?

Thanks

When I try to add my PieFed account to Voyager, the captcha doesn't display, making it impossible to go any further. This is on iOS 18.5 and Voyager version 2.35.1. Thanks!

Hey there!
I tried to migrate one of my communities from Lemm.ee and it got most of it very well! Thanks for that.
Bad thing is I can't moderate anything, assign moderators or invite anyone. How long will I have to wait for that?

With Voyager you can mark certain communities as favourites, and there is a very convenient drop-down list for quickly jumping to the favourites. Is there similar functionality with PieFed?

I already created an account on piefed.social but noticed a lot of the lemmynsfw comms are blocked so I assume everything porn is blocked, hence this post.
Is there an instance on PieFed that allows porn/hentai and where I could create a community that’s only in spanish? Even better if it isn’t hosted on the USA.

On a different note, I think this comm isn't federating properly, I tried asking this question from lemmy.cafe but it seems it didn't work.

I've been using Lemmy a couple of months, and now trying out Piefed.

Questions about community subscriptions:

1. So by ticking the "topics" boxes during registration, I am now subscribed to a bunch of communities, right? Or am I subscribed to "topics"? Or "feeds"?

2. What's the difference between Lemmy-style communities and Piefed's "topics" and "feeds"?

3. How can I see which communities/topics/feeds I'm subscribed to?
   (I saw a list once, I think on the home page, but for some reason I've never been able to find it again.)
   Ah, I found https://piefed.social/communities but not through the Piefed UI, only via https://join.piefed.social/docs/user-guide/

4. How can I find the Communities list in the Piefed UI?

5. Re importing my community subscriptions and community blocks from my Lemmy account, what file do I need? Is it Lemmy > Settings > Export Settings: lemmy_user_settings_dateandtime.json ?

• 5.1 And will that overwrite or supplement my existing Piefed subscriptions?
• 5.2 Wait, did Piefed already include my existing Lemmy community subscriptions??? Or is it just luck/topic-picking-on-sign-up that they seem to be included among all the others?

Hi, can I find somewhere which instances are blocked on piefed.social (or any other piefed server)?

Hi!

I'm testing federation from PieFed → Lemmy → Mastodon.

When I post from PieFed, it gets federated through Lemmy and reaches Mastodon. But instead of showing just the title and link like typical Lemmy posts, the full content is displayed on Mastodon.

Do you know why this might happen? Is it expected?

when i make a post in my language its not there, so how do i add it? thx :)

At first I searched for that comm since I recall I've seen it when using lemmy and mbin. But the search never bring up any.

Then I checked in lemmyverse to see if it exists, and it does. Went to it on their home instance and it seems it's still alive.

Then I tried search again with the relative address (is that what it's called?) but no dice

Then I tried forcing the url directly but no dice

I checked their instance and piefed.social is not blocked from federating with them

I forgot how to check piefed.social's federation :P

Hi, I signed up yesterday and checked a lot of boxes on the interests page during sign up, not realizing that I would be subscribed to a lot of communities by doing so.

Can I somehow reset my subscriptions and start over on this account?

It seems like whenever I post something, there's automatically 2 upvotes instead of the regular 1, immediately after posting. If I remove my own, it still sits at +1 instead of 0. Where is this upvote coming from?

edit, even for this post, so not just comments

I have a post I made from Piefed and someone suggested I cross post to another spot. I can't seem to figure out how to crosspost in PieFed though. Is there a way or is that not yet implemented?

Regardless, Piefed is amazing and thank you so much to everyone here! :-)

So my prefered way to fediscroll is to go through all and remove communities I have no interest in and subscribe to things I like so that at some point in the future if all is to cumbersome I can do the subscribe area. One thing I block is meme communities and oh boy it gets tiresome because everyone seems to want to make one. several leapards ate my face, 196, and other ones reposting from other social media and then meme wise there is just no end. I have been tempted to put a keyword block for meme and bombass and things like 196 or leapardsatemyface but I only want them to block communities based on the title or description pretty much but im not sure if key word blocking will block like a user comment that says meme in it or something. Can anyone help me understand how keyword blocking works?

When browsing popular, I'd like to only see instances that speak my language because I can't read the posts that are made on that instance.

When I block the instance, it blocks the users too. So when a user from that instance replies to a comment, I get a notification with a link that doesn't lead anywhere.

Is there a way to filter the instance/posts without filtering out their users too?

Tried the search function but didn't see a post like this
