PieFed 1.5 is released - move posts, upload video files, better chat and more

PieFed Meta
54 19 224
  • Big deals, omg

    • Mods can move a post, with replies and votes, to another community. The change federates to other instances (except Lemmy, for now. I've been in discussion with devs from NodeBB and Lemmy about how this will work, they are on board). Relevant FEP.
    • Upload video files while creating a video post - no external host needed. Admin setting to limit who can do this (to save space).
    • Realtime chat - conversation immediately updates on screen when a new PM arrives.

    More good stuff

    • Author-deleted posts are still visible to them and anyone with the url. No more loss of high-value comments with the OP deletes.
    • Search filters - nsfw and minimum post score
    • Improve speed of cross-posting form on mobile
    • Emoji tokens like :blush: can be used in post or comment body. No GUI support yet.
    • Admin setting to disable local copies of remote images - good for single-user instances
    • Replying to a comment marks associated inbox item as read
    • Updated HPT-Fruits theme
    • 196 no longer excluded from default community import
    • Remove unused community rating feature
    • Remove unused instance vote weight feature
    • Remove ineffective þ to 'th' replacement
    • Improved accessibility - better contrast, fixed many incorrectly-used aria-labels
    • Updated translations - Basque, Chinese, Japanese

    API:

    • Admins can ban/unban users through the API. piefed.world was maintaining custom code for this, hopefully it'll make their version upgrades faster.

    Bugs fixed

    • PMs
    • Markdown parsing
    • Speed up loading of profile pages for admin users
    • Friendica post parsing
    • Passkeys login UX tweak

    being able to move posts is huge!

  • being able to move posts is huge!

    It's one of those missing pieces that we've missed for so long that no one ever bought it up - that was just how it was. Then in Nov of last year Julian from NodeBB initiated a conversation between NodeBB, Lemmy and PieFed and here we are. I got there first but hopefully the others are not far behind.

    We were just talking about how to consolidate communities and it's really annoying not being able to move posts lol

    Sounds awesome! One question, until Lemmy properly supports this, how will it look on the Lemmy side when a post is moved? Will it still be visible in the original community, in both the old and new communities, or will the post just disappear?

    Sorry I misread your earlier question, missing out the "until Lemmy supports...".

    From Lemmy's side it'll look like the post is still in the old community.

    From Lemmy's side it'll look like the post is still in the old community.

    Thanks for clarification, makes more sense now. Will everyone still see each other's comments when a post is moved but for Lemmy users it's still in the old community?

    @rimu@piefed.social is there any documentation about the move post feature? It has existed in the mod panel on mbin for as long as it exists, but it does not federate and it would be great if we could implement it in a way that is working piefed, lemmy and nodebb

  • 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.

    read more

  • 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.

    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. ![image alt text :: width=300px](https://url to image) 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.sh In 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. Donations can be made via Patreon, Liberapay or Ko-fi.

    flaky@furry.engineer I agree, but I don't think it's a conscious choice to favor decentralization over design/UI. I think what the most likely explanation is, is that those interested in building activitypub applications are highly technical and find the decentralization aspect more alluring than designing good UI. I know I personally am quite terrible at design.
