I've followed all the frequent posters on piefed.social using my mastodon.social account so we should be seeing a lot more PieFed content showing up there now. But unless you use hashtags, I'll be the only one seeing it!

Oof... I hadn't been thinking of that at all.
Any idea if this works retroactively? For example, if I go back and label posts from the last week or two in the hopes that they might get caught up in Mastodon feeds?

Yes it probably would although anything older than 1 day on Mastodon gets zero views so I wouldn't bother.

Oh!
I was able to get today's earlier post to show up there, but it seems totally unable to recognise any of the Lemmy-style image samples, for example ye oldeformat.I also added the raw URL's under the images, but it just went ahead and listed them as URL's. (expected, TBF)

Ah. PieFed is just throwing the same html at Mastodon that we use in the PF web app and then Mastodon is stripping out things it can't handle. Perhaps we should do some pre-chewing of the html so that it degrades more gracefully, e.g. convert inline images to links.

In general that's a good idea because you should never trust content coming from somewhere else (even in an S2S context)
For reference, NodeBB literally sanitizes the bejeezus out of what it gets from anywhere. All classes are removed, all attributes are removed. I want it as close to semantic HTML as possible, and classes/attributes mean absolutely nothing because:
- I don't use the same CSS classes
- Attributes may not follow my own rules for when and where they are added.
For example, Mastodon messes with any URL it federates out. It chops the anchor text in half, hides the rest behind
invisibleor something, and adds an ellipsis.invisibledoes something different in NodeBB, so there is a CSS conflict here. I strip everything and just show the URL as it was intended.

It took a few days for instances to be upgraded and admins to fill in their profiles but it's looking much healthier now!

Discourse's Trust Levels are an interesting idea, but not one that is novel. It was lifted almost entirely from Stack Overflow. At the time, Discourse and Stack Overflow had a common founder, Jeff Atwood.
There's a reason Stack Overflow is rapidly fading into obscurity... its moderation team (built off of trust levels) destroyed the very foundation of what made Stack Overflow good.
I am also not saying that what we have now (first-mover moderation or top-down moderation granting) is better... merely that should you look into this, tread lightly.
