  • The collapsing of downvoted comments is configurable in the user settings, so it's possible to disable it or fine tune it to the way you want it. The discussion is still valid for what the default settings should be

    I'm still learning about the karma side, so I don't want to comment on that yet

  • PieFed is developing rapidly, and these sound like reasonable concerns that the developers might address at some point :)

    Looks like someone else tagged the dev already, we can also post suggestions in !piefed_meta@piefed.social

  • There is an API but it is slightly different from Lemmy, and it's very new, which is why the app list is small. Right now that includes !interstellar@kbin.earth and using the website as a PWA. As more people use it, more apps should implement support.

    The PieFed dev docs say that the API is 95% similar, so hopefully it should be easy enough for app developers to implement

  • Someone else already gave a decent explanation :)

    Can you try these two guide pages and see if they help? They have some diagrams

    https://fedecan.ca/en/guide/get-started

    https://fedecan.ca/en/guide/lemmy/for-users/detailed-overview

    So lemmy.ca and piefed.ca have different feeds altogether when I view them, are they two separate things then

    They are two separate platforms, made by different teams. The feeds look different for a few reasons

    • piefed.ca is brand new and so it is missing a lot of the content. As people start using it, the default logged out feed will start to look closer to other instances
    • An instance only pulls the content that its users are subscribed to. When you make an account on an instance and you are the first person to subscribe to a community, hitting subscribe will tell your instance to start pulling in those posts. That is why every instance will be slightly different regardless.

    I'm not really clear on how communicating freely between them works

    Unlike Lemmy and Mastodon, which are somewhat different formats (posts in communities) vs. short text posts on a user's profile), Lemmy and PieFed are more or less the same. So it should be a lot closer in experience. Whatever you can subscribe to, comment on, or vote on within lemmy.ca, you should be able to do the same on piefed.ca

    Especially because we are running both instances, and so they will have similar block lists.

  • It's nice timing! Looking forward to seeing you and your instance in the world of pie :)

  • We appreciate you as well! 😁

  • Your friend Morty looks fun

    Also happy cake day!

  • Is there a recommended way for other instances to load the old posts that were added in the new community? Right now we only see the new content that is on !barcelona@piefed.social (2 posts)

  • I commented this in the other thread, sharing it here as well

    I’ve been waiting for this feature for a while actually πŸ˜…

    When I last saw people talking about it, there were rumors that there would be a reasonable free backup (ex. up to 1 Gb) with relatively cheap paid options above that. I scrolled through the GitHub link and couldn’t confirm or deny if this is still/actually the case.

    Backups are the #1 pain point for friends that tried to switch to Signal, especially for those on iOS. I have a local backup + sync setup for my own phone, but it’s a lot to expect for the average casual user to set up.

    Whatsapp has backups to Google Drive, which is better than nothing but not ideal. It’s time Signal had a reliable backup method for casual users

  • Oh nice, it's officially been 2 years on Lemmy for me πŸ₯³

  • I made another comment in this thread. I find that it is more similar to Mbin (the successor to Kbin), but it's somewhat more popular right now.

    There is a comparison of the features here: https://lemmy.ca/post/45413094/16944475

  • Done, how does it look now?

  • Another article for those having issues with the TMZ site:

    I was looking at the Wikipedia:

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jonathan_Joss

    On January 23, 2025, Joss lost his San Antonio home, as well as three dogs (with a fourth missing) when his house caught fire.[8][9] Joss says he was using a propane heater and had left the house. β€œMistakes happen, man. And it’s my fault for, I guess, leaving something on,” Joss said. β€œOr if somebody came in and did something, who knows?” [8] He attended the 2025 ATX TV Festival in Austin, Texas with other King of the Hill cast members on May 29, 2025.[7] However, he says he was not invited to the panel, and an attendee on the social media site Reddit says that Joss interrupted the King of the Hill panel, bringing up his house burning down which he felt was intentionally burned down because of his homosexuality.

    On June 1, 2025, Joss was approached by a neighbor who allegedly yelled homophobic slurs at Joss before shooting and killing him. The suspect was arrested shortly afterward.[7][10][11][12] The two neighbors have been subject to a longstanding feud going back years with police being called multiple times.[13] His death occurred just hours after he uploaded an Instagram video of himself walking around Austin and noting how he already recorded lines for 4 King of the Hill episodes.

    Kern de Gonzales stated on Instagram afterwards that various people in the area had for years verbally assaulted them with homophobic slurs and threats to burn down their home.[14] Kern de Gonzales went on to say that the house had burned down after years of threats from their neighbors, threats to which the police had not responded, even after the threats had been reported by Gonzales and Joss.[11] On Joss' Facebook page, Kern de Gonzales described the attack as a homophobic hate crime.

    San Antonio Police Department released a statement saying "Our investigation has found no evidence whatsoever to indicate that the Mr. Joss's murder was related to his sexual orientation."
