something like this perhaps https://piefed.social/f/movies

Wasn’t there some pop culture subreddit that closed down recently? What was the story/process there?

I’ve been there and gotten a photo of myself with that sign. It is indeed a long sign.

Nice one!

Today I added a feature which will help you invite people to join your community - go to https://piefed.social/community/movies/invite

It’ll send a message to fediverse users and emails to others.

Could be but I don’t post on reddit regularly enough to know when.

As well as the algorithm, there are also structural things.

For example tweets limited to 160 characters favor simplistic solutions, which the far right provide. An endless stream of random unrelated nuggets of ideas create a fugue of confusion, perfect for injecting disinformation. Ruined attention spans can only grasp simplistic solutions. Video-based media means surface appearance matters more than substance. And so on.

Could be worse

raaarrr

You work tirelessly, thank you!

Oof, the ‘how to get started’ section of that page makes all the classic mistakes.

• sends people to join-lemmy - no, send them to an instance. Don’t make them choose.
• “just choose any instance” - uhh yeah we know what happens when they do that. *.ml happens.
• says which communities to join by using their https url. When people click that link they’ll end up on a different instance to the one they signed up on.

In addition it recommends joining the communities BEFORE signing up. The order is wrong.

They could have said

• Go to https://piefed.social/auth/register. Do the whole onboarding process.
• Go to https://piefed.social/community/buyfromeu@feddit.org/subscribe
• Then go to https://piefed.social/community/buyeuropean@feddit.uk/subscribe

Possibly. At the end of the day it’s all just JSON.

Yes, that’s a setting that admins can choose for the entire instance. Also if downvotes are on then at the community level mods can choose whether to accept downvotes from members, the current instance, trusted instances or everywhere.

The feed creator needs to know about the communities so they can type/paste the community address in, yeah. This feature takes the expert fediverse landscape knowledge contained in the heads of the terminally online and makes it available to more casual/new users.

While the actor is a Group and you can follow it, no posts are Announced. All the federation of posts is still driven by the individual communities within the feed. You’ll need to modify Lemmy to add the logic of subscribing to the constituent communities when you receive an Accept.

Also there are Add and Remove activities sent out whenever the feed owner manages the list of communities within which would need to be handled.

Documentation still to come…

Possibly. (Subscribing to a feed does actually subscribe you to all the communities in the feed. So technically they are not drive-by comments by non-members. But I see what you mean.)

Discoverability is a huge huge problem with all federated platforms and this will significantly alleviate that.

Yes, that is high on the agenda.

This post prompted me to finish setting up my Pi-Hole.
