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.

I’ve just added a score parameter to the community RSS feeds so you can get a RSS feed of posts at or above that score. e.g. https://piefed.social/community/fediverse/feed?score=20
If there is interest then we can add more filters, for flair/tag, etc. But from the server logs it doesn't seem like many people use RSS.

rimu@piefed.social when the question is federated outward, is it of type of question? 😛

@julian @rimu @dessalines @nutomic we could have it in Lemmy as well ❤️

@julian hahahahaha

Imagine Stack Overflow, but you have some probability of not seeing the top answer. That's pretty much what happens with federated instances blocking each other. I wouldn't use that.

What's the secret to Rimu's speed? Piefed is young, so any accumulated technical debt doesn't interfere with new functionality...
Yet...
Sorry rimu@piefed.social, that time will come for you 😂

Oh, a * peek * at piefed. I thought it was going to be some doom and gloom about user count peaking. It’s actually just an introspective.
