It could have been! There are many many reasons why a post would not appear and any one of them could be broken.

It would be interesting to log rejected content somewhere, with the reason, then people could answer that kind of question themselves.

There is a confusing thing about the post creation form - there are TWO timezone fields - one for the event time and the other for scheduling when the post will be published. I think that you were using the wrong timezone field. We need to fix that.

I did a test. While logged in as you I made a test event, with the time of it set to 11 AM Mexico City time.

Check this out, we're going to refer to it later:

That is the corresponding times in different timezones. We need those times to match with what we get.

By looking at the HTML I can see that 11AM was stored in the database as UTC:

Then when I viewed the page some javascript ran which converted the output from UTC to my local time (NZ):

Everything seems to be working as intended.

The post author is banned from piefed.social. I can't remember the exact reason but if you look at their modlog entries you'll see they have a long history of being a pain in the ass: https://lemmy.world/modlog?page=1&actionType=All&userId=722715

Have a look at this page - https://piefed.social/community/fediverse/wiki/piefed-app

I hear ya

Ok i'll fix that. We're getting there!

My recent changes to the way deleted posts are handled avoids this issue.

In v1.4.4 I've made it so that when you delete a post you can still view it.

Yes I think we're going to need to refine the retention logic a bit, eventually. Thanks for these ideas.

Ah, good catch.

v1.4.4 is released...

Right, agreed, thanks.

Ooooo, good point. Yeah, just locally.

Damn. Might need to do something more clever.

Yep

Haha. This one has been brewing for a while, @hendrik@palaver.p3x.de started pushing for it almost a year ago.

I think they made deleted posts visible in Lemmy 1.0.

I've just done it in PieFed 1.4.3, released now.

It is done, announcement to follow.

Ok.

I've made it so that deleted posts are still viewable, including their comments. The post author and body will NOT be visible. Deleted posts will not show up in communities, search results, etc just as before - you need the URL of the post to get to it. Bookmark a deleted post within 7 days or it will be deleted for real.

Ask your instance admin to upgrade to v1.4.3. Chances are they'll be on 1.4.x already so this will be easy for them.

Yep.

At the moment this is global in the sense that it shows all events in all communities on all instances (which have federated to your instance). This won't scale so if people start making more events pretty soon we'll need to put visibility controls on it where the author chooses how widely to publicize the event.

Please don't put the time in the title.

PieFed will show the time to the viewer in their timezone.

Welcome aboard!
