What's new
- Media library that lets you upload images to comments/post body and paste from the clipboard
- Animated gif support for user profile pictures
- Specify alt-text for link posts that link to an image
- Emoji picker and spoiler button added to markdown toolbar
- More links to the modlog (footer, community sidebar, user profile) and improved searching/filtering
- Leave a conversation to remove it from the list of their direct message conversations
- Post urls are now "friendly" since they include the community name and a snippet of the title instead of just a number
- Add link to show parent comment when directly viewing a comment reply
- Image markdown style formatting to allow more advanced control of how images are rendered. e.g.
 - Code syntax highlighting in code blocks and allow for style selection in user settings
- Tag cloud added to sidebar for feeds and topics
- Better searching and filtering of the Instances list
- Add a block (of a user, community, instance or domain) from the blocks and filters management area, without doing it via a post
- Popup suggestions when mentioning a community or user as you type
- Onboarding plugin which auto-subscribes, auto-blocks and sends a welcome message for new accounts
- Improved federation efficiency
- Old posts can be automatically archived (saved to S3) to free up database space
- Old posts by bots with no comments are automatically deleted
- LLDAP support, which does LDAP a bit differently
To upgrade
To upgrade from 1.2.x:
git pull git checkout v1.3.x ./deploy.sh or ./deploy-docker.shIn the past we had a separate project for realtime notifications, which is now unsupported as it's code has been merged with the main PieFed project. To set it up, refer to the Push Notifications section of install.md. As well as enhancing the user experience doing this will decrease load on your server if it hosts local communities with many subscribers as some of the federation work has been offloaded to the push notifications service.
Donations
PieFed is free and open-source software while operating without any advertising, monetization, or reliance on venture capital. Your donations are vital in supporting the PieFed development effort, allowing us to expand and enhance PieFed with new features.

As if multiple servers wasn't complicated enough, there are multiple apps and multiple web frontends you can use too! p.piefed.social is an installation of Photon.
Log in with your piefed.social credentials.
Like Blorp, it looks great on a phone and can be installed as a PWA.
-
Try https://b.piefed.social instead! Log in with the same username and password as piefed.social.
It works best on a phone / tablet but on a desktop it's fine too once you switch to compact mode.
It can be installed as a PWA.
There are also lots of themes you can try at https://piefed.social/user/settings. Here are some screenshots of them - https://join.piefed.social/screenshots/

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!

Ok, it seems to be working now then. Let us know if you continue to see weirdness with the pinned posts.

Oh we actually unpinned the main@piefed.ca post after I confirmed it was working and made that comment. It's the other one from main@lemmy.ca that is still pinned, but doesn't show up for users that aren't logged in

Welcome!

I mean I get you but the only reason it would be done wrong is if it was intentionally done that way. I mean the system already does notifications and as I said I have gotten them for deleted posts. They don't go away. The devs would practically have to intentionally have it not work that way. I really don't think its a risk at all. Also once something is done its not impossible to undue. The federation and in particular piefed devs are pretty earnest individuals and its not like a coporate system where managment would bury their heads and dig their heels on something bad. There is also no incetive to keep something that does not work out well for some sort of financial gain.

Even logged in and with filters so that the post is visible, I don't see the post in the piefed community as pinned. Could it have been unpinned when you did your db reload?
If it is pinned on your side, then it must be a bug of some kind.
