@piefed.socialDuring the installation, it is just "Added 'No-QAnon' blocklist, see https://github.com/rimu/no-qanon" but if we use the link, it becomes "A blocklist for QAnon, conspiracy, fake news, nazi websites.", then "An anti-fascist domains blocklist of QAnon, conspiracy, fake news, far-right and discriminatory websites.". Not a bad thing if there is only that in the list.
In reality, it is also activism against government and the right at least for content from France.
The error message in english :
An unexpected error has occurred
Sorry for the inconvenience! Please let us know about this, so we can repair it and make PieFed better for everyone.
It blocks governmental websites. It should not be enabled by default.
It blocks center/center-right/right party with the comment "Macron démission". It is cleary activism.
It gives to the piefed project a bad image because it is not very serious to include anti feature without documentation to explain it (the error message is not very clear).
How to solve the issue ?
- do not include the blocklist by default
OR
- remove any website which is not "QAnon, conspiracy, fake news, far-right and discriminatory" AND change the error message
OR
- explain the blocklist in the installation informations AND change the error message
I deleted the entire blocklist from my instance.
I appreciate that a page doesn't seem to have to reload when I hit the back button, it remembers the position on the page where I was at before.
Just wanted to say that I appreciate that clicking on the 'comments' button takes a user directly to the comments section of a post and isn't just a duplicate button like most of the other implementations I've seen. Awesome :)
I set up an instance of pyfed at https://eventhorizondataflow.pagekite.me/ but as far as I can tell it doesn't seem to be federating. Subscribing to communities works initially, but no new content comes through. However, I can manually add new remote posts (and added a quick hack to rebackfill a community to keep up to date).
I also tried posting from my instance to c/playground here but they don't seem to be coming through.
I'm not seeing too much in the logs or in the activity page (under Admins). For posting to c/playground for example, I can see the CREATE activity to piefed.social - that is simply marked as a green success.
Looking for ideas on how to debug this further.
Hello everyone! I'm new here... I had been testing Fediverse interoperability on Lemmy but I didn't like what I saw: there were several quirks and flaws that made no sense to me. Several people mentioned PieFed as an alternative and that's why I'm here - I'd like to compare/contrast features and see if PieFed does things differently.
I should mention that I have a blog whose mission is to introduce the Fediverse to non-technical people, to get them to leave the walled gardens of Big Tech: The Future is Federated . I've been doing a show and tell of interoperability between Mastodon and Pixelfed , Friendica and the rest of the Fediverse and I've shown what happens when you federate a Wordpress blog . My new focus in on the "Threadiverse", so Lemmy it is.
I was disappointed when I published my first post on Lemmy (https://lemmy.world/post/18635732) and noticed that:
It's cool I was able to find my original post on here (https://piefed.social/post/198179) and I wonder if you have any tips / words of advice regading things that PieFed does and Lemmy doesn't do. I'm really curious.
And please bear with me, I'm going to mention my Mastodon account ( @_elena@mastodon.social ) and my Lemmy account (@elena@lemmy.world) to see if anything happens when I hit post. And bear with me one more time and let me try hashtags here, like #TheFutureisFederated.
Thanks for your patience with this newbie! 😅
Elena
Edit: I included the URL of my Mastodon profile to see if it would federate
A new contributor, "JollyDevelopment" made some improvements:
"wakest" created a very efficient SVG icon for PieFed that is 5x smaller than the old .png icon.
Also I did a few things:
As you can see we don't have a lot of really big news to share, lately. It nearly feels like a good time to call an end to the beta test phase of PieFed's development and formally release a version. With that in mind, over the next little while, we will focus on stability and bug fixes so the first release is something people can stick with without immediately getting back on the dev branch treadmill.
Hello everyone,
As I discovered that Piefed allows to actually have a "New comments" filter (it's "Active": https://codeberg.org/rimu/pyfedi/issues/275#issuecomment-2152580)), I have been giving it another try.
It's quite nice so far, but I haven't found how to block a community from the website. The three dots menu for a community allows to block the author, the domain, the instance, but not the community itself. Am I missing something?
Just a quick note to recognize that the first lines of PieFed code were published on the 28th July 2023, just over a year ago. Since then there have been 1400+ changes made by 9 people, involving adding 88,000 lines of code and removing 28,000 lines. The issue queue has 98 open and 99 closed issues.
While join.piefed.social went live in October 2023, it wasn't until time off work over the christmas holidays enabled a big push to get it ready that piefed.social went live on 4th January 2024.
Since then piefed.social has federated 190k posts, 2.3M comments and 19M votes with 1900 other instances of various types. Besides piefed.social there are 5 other PieFed instances that I know of.
What a year it's been! I've grown significantly as a developer, had a lot of fun and hopefully contributed something meaningful to whatever the fediverse is becoming. Long may it continue!
