They have either doomed or saved us all. My money would be on the first one except… aren’t we all doomed anyway at this point, so we might as well roll the dice on this one to find out? 😔🤯

(The answer is no btw, bc that’s stupid and not how any of this works.)

Welcome fellow human! Ah… I mean “kid”, yes, we are just going to kill all sentient lifeforms “kidding” around here, certainly nothing for the authorities to get involved in, move along! :-P

A true Fedizen right here. Also Threadizen?

I need to stop mentioning flarum, but every time I do someone chimes in with “but it’s coming soon™!” So I just say what’s listed in !fediverse@piefed.social as if that were somehow official or something:-P.

He has been distant for the last several days - e.g. firing people at the CDC not directly but via intermediates - though was reputedly seen at a golf course I think it was today.

Okay but don’t forget about the PieFed memes community!! !piefed_promo@piefed.social

Example post:

I have been using “Pie-heads”, b/c we are just crazy enough to make that work! :-P

And the network of Lemmy + PieFed + Mbin (+ nodeBB + flarum) as the “Threadiverse”, distinct from the wider Fediverse that also includes Mastodon, PixelFed, etc.

Tbf ActivityPub is the name of the protocol, and Fediverse is the name of the network, though is too generic so many of us have taken to calling us the “Threadiverse”, for threaded-based conversational format (Lemmy + Mbin + PieFed + nodeBB + flarum), as distinct from the user-centric Mastodon, the image-based Pixelfed, video-based Loops (not federated yet iirc), etc. Notably though, while it is not so easy, people can send messages between these e.g. from Mastodon to Lemmy (or PieFed) and vice versa.

Threadiverse = the subset of the Fediverse based on threaded conversations, applies to Lemmy, PieFed, Mbin, also nodeBB and somewhat flarum

How people will see us then:

Oh no! Well, time to go home and return to the store I guess…

Uh oh, I now have a problem: I cannot keep up with remembering all the new features added!? Oh well, I am very pleased to have this issue:-). (\s bc there are Release Notes)

I figured that you would be! :-)

Although to be clear, searching for content is not something that I do daily or even weekly, so personally I consider it much lower in prioritization than other feature requests, e.g. a comment reply has a Preview option but a top-level comment to a post does not (that button does not appear), notifications is still a bit wonky, particularly not interacting well with the newer feature that loads comments (when there is a larger number of them?) only after loading the post, and then by doing so fails to traverse to where the notification link was aiming to take me to, etc.

Though I suppose others may consider it higher priority, especially newer people evaluating PieFed, and probably working on the search back-end may be a lot more fun!? :-P

It is always nice to see new things coming to PieFed. This is the only software giving me any hope for social media right now:-).

Ooh (and tagging @mnmalst@lemmy.zip), this post seems very relevant in that community: Lemmy/old Reddit styles.

I don’t think so, here is the list of them (accessible for someone without a PieFed account, although for someone with an account it is under Settings -> Theme, change the dropdown then click Save settings, currently no way that I know of to test one out before saving): https://codeberg.org/rimu/pyfedi/src/branch/main/app/templates/themes

Not that I know of, and while I hate to shill for Lemmy rather than PieFed, there is just such an interface on the instance you are already on: https://old.lemmy.zip/ . That does sound like a great idea for someone to make though…

Searching by “posts” on Lemmy is actually superior to searching on PieFed, though searching by “all” or “comments” on Lemmy is absolutely borken (haha misspelled unintentionally but Imma just leave it there as it fits so well!?:-P). Reputedly Lemmy’s search is about to add the ability to filter on post “titles” separately from the rest of the text, which sounds very nice.

So it’s hit or miss what works or not on Lemmy. PieFed’s search is the singular feature that is currently very behind compared to Lemmy, but like everything else I expect PieFed to rapidly overtake Lemmy one day soon-ish. Therefore I use a PieFed account as my daily main, but when I want to search for something I still switch back to Lemmy (you don’t even need an account for that though).
