  • Ah true! NodeBB doesn't support emoji reactions yet.

    Thanks for reminding me of yet another way we're behind Piefed :muscle:

  • Emoji reactions are a big one - rather than voting you can apply an emoji, which is a much richer expression.

    Every community can have different settings for who can downvote. Here are the options:

    If you downvote more than you upvote, pretty soon you can't downvote anymore.

  • Thats what I kind of mean. some folks vote on everything. some don't vote on anything. some are very specific and thoughtful in their voting and some have default voting things. I have been both. I don't view voting information as at all useful in a community type of way. Now make it scarce and maybe. Like every day your get one up or down vote that will expire in a week or something. Thing about that kind of thing though is it encourages folks who like to manipulate to make a bunch of accounts. I could totally see cm0002 going through all his accounts to downvote things on lemmy.ml. I just don't think its very useful unless as a feature for accounts locally.

    Okay, I get the rationale behind it, but it seems like an improper extension of the voting mechanism, doesn't it?

    (Not specifically singling you out, I'm just speaking broadly.)

    One of those side effects that doesn't just affect you. Makes me wonder if this was added because it increases engagement metrics.

  • To warn you, downvoting is public on the forumverse, so if you are perceived as reflexively downvoting at scale in a community- you risk getting community banned.

  • Its basically what was done with trust cafe which the wikipedia guy started. the thing is he did not make it federated and as much as I like the setup I like the decentralized nature of the fediverse betters. I like using the portal but if someone made an app with this type of function I would be tempted. well as long as I did not have to run it on a phone.

  • I would love rating to be used in a basic algorithmic view that only takes into account the ratings you give. trustcafe does this where verything can be rated (posts, users, comments, communities, domains, etc) and defaults to a value of 50 that the user can change to between 0 and 100. So like rather than blocking someone I can be like. This person is annoying but they are a real person (I think) and I don’t want to totally discount them so I will drop them to 25 so their things go twice as far down my feed but then this other person I really jive with so I will rank them 75 so their stuff will be bumped up higher.

    That's an interesting take on feed curation

    Oh so it is, I wasn't seeing it yesterday when I checked. Perhaps unpinning and re-pinning, or removing and re-allowing the ability to show on popular fixed it and I didn't notice it. Nonetheless, thank you for all the help!

    I have received word that there are people combing through the PieFed code looking for anything that might be harmful. This is excellent and can only make PieFed better and less harmful. We appreciate their interest in PieFed and look forward to answering any questions and showing people around the code. Please join us at https://chat.piefed.social or https://matrix.to/#/#piefed-developers:matrix.org. There's no need to listen to rumors and amateur speculation when we're right here and happy to help. Come on in, the water's fine!

    One of the long-standing issues we have in/on the fediverse is that when I have a link in my post that goes to another post on my instance, people on other instances will click that link and be taken to MY instance, where they can't comment, don't have an account, aren't logged in, etc and they will try to log in using their login credentials for their home instance then wonder why it doesn't work. When someone links to https://lemmy.world/post/39832275 and I'm on piefed.social I want to see https://piefed.social/c/news/p/1544770/national-parks-ordered-to-check-gift-shops-for-dei-type-items not the copy on lemmy.world! As of PieFed v1.4, links like that will automatically be converted to link to the local copy of the post, where 'local' is whatever is local for the reader. See the linked video where I demonstrate this in action.

    rimu@piefed.social for what it's worth, we had this discussion a decade ago too. We ended up being very simplistic and not tying anything to anything else. So posts are not tied to topics (theoretically you could have a post in multiple topics... we don't do that, but you can) And topics aren't tied to categories (same deal, and we also don't have topics in multiple categories... yet!!, cross-posting will change that. So when you have a direct url to a post it's just /post/. A friendly URL uses a post index, but we can do that because we order posts linearly. Piefed doesn't have that advantage unfortunately.
