With Hetzner’s price rises taking effect, I’m moving piefed.social to somewhere else. Most likely it’ll be during a quiet time when few people will notice, around 00:00 to 3:00 UTC on Saturday.

The question is prompted by the age verification app that the EU has just presented.

A day or two ago I accidentally stumbled upon PieFed and the Fediverse at large. How? I was looking for a way to read Reddit posts in a private browser while using a VPN (without having to sign in). I couldn’t find anything helpful, but I did start to get suggestions for alternatives to Reddit. Reading through those I saw talk of Lemmy which led me to start reading up on the ActivityPub protocol, and on and on from there.

It’s A Place Further Than The Universe for me, both the first time and the first rewatch. Absolutely phenomenal series.

I find posts and comments from Mastodon to be almost unreadable because they are loaded with hashtags in-line with the content.

I’ve just moved over from Reddit after a pretty rough experience there. I’m looking for a friendlier space and would love any tips on how to integrate quickly and make the most of this community.

I have heard people talk about tagging people instead of blocking them and I did not think much about it. I had a person with a one month history though who had some comments that had me evaluating them for a block. Their history is just to small atm. So I thought. Hey this would be great for some sort of tag like under review or probation or something so I can remember to evaluate down the line. I looked around but did not see anything. I think its very possible people are talking about something that is specific to an app or maybe lemmy has it. On the other hand maybe I am just missing how to do it. So this is a question or an ask depending.

I want to help fediverse by hosting own instance. I dont have plans to build community, it will be for caching reasons. Does it make any sense?

Hello. I thought I could use my Lemmy login details to log into PieFed, but it isn’t working and had to create a separate account. Can you please clarify?

Hoping someone can help here.

When attempting to create a community with the URL c/MindfulMaverick, I encounter the error message: “[This name is in use already.]” However, no community by that name currently exists. It’s possible the system is incorrectly flagging a conflict with my username rather than an existing community. In fact, browsing https://piefed.zip/c/mindfulmaverick redirects me to https://piefed.zip/community/add_local, suggesting the name is not actually taken.

EDIT:

I like posts to be properly tagged, but sometimes I don’t have the time. An idea would be to have an auto-assigned role so that 20% of users who spend the most time in a community gain the ability to curate post tags, improving discovery of old posts.

Sorry, cannot reasonably report this in any more proper manner in the hurry.

After the repeated losses at the hands of ZAFT, the Earth Alliance needed to reverse ZAFT’s growing momentum in the war. To this end, the Alliance decided to launch a deep strike on the PLANT homeland, to force ZAFT on the defensive and push their priority back to Lagrange point 5. On April C.E.70, Earth Alliance launched 2 full-strength fleets, the 5th and 6th fleets, from Ptolemaeus base on the Moon and headed toward Lagrange Point 5.

When I try to view my profile while logged in, I consistently get the Cloudflare error page with a 504 gateway timeout. Viewing the profiles of other users on piefed.world or elsewhere works fine. My profile also loads immediately if I open it in a private browsing window.

Hi. I’ve set up a new single-user instance for myself today and I’m trying to create a local community.
