It'll disappear from the old community and appear in the new one, with all the same comments and votes as before. On all instances.
Ah, okay. That's great. Might be a dumb question, but what did you mean by "change federates to other instances (except Lemmy[...]" then?

Big deals, omg

Amazing work thanks.
Is the ability to crosspost text posts on the priority list for coming releases?

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.

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?

git pull git checkout v1.5.x ./deploy.sh or ./deploy-docker.sh@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
-
This release is a bit smaller than usual but also only 2 weeks since 1.4. I'm planning on doing smaller, more frequent and more focussed releases in future.
Seems like a pretty big update to me as a video creator 🫡

I just did a quick test-move and here is the json that was federated out:
{ "actor": "https://crust.piefed.social/u/wjs018", "cc": [ "https://piefed.wjs018.xyz/c/testing" ], "id": "https://crust.piefed.social/activities/move/l7NaOQha12PQyYv", "object": "https://crust.piefed.social/c/testing/p/108274/this-post-will-be-moved", "origin": "https://piefed.wjs018.xyz/c/testing", "target": "https://crust.piefed.social/c/test", "to": [ "https://www.w3.org/ns/activitystreams#Public" ], "type": "Move" }For context, this was moved from !testing@piefed.wjs018.xyz to !test@crust.piefed.social. The author, @wjs018@crust.piefed.social, is a moderator of the community that the post was initially posted to. I did find a bug in this process, the post flair, which should be community-specific, was moved as well when it should have been stripped. So, I created an issue for tracking that fix.

Is the feature to move posts from MBin instances supported?
My understanding is that the mbin move feature doesn't federate out at the moment, but I wouldn't be surprised if it happens soon as there are more platforms that support it.

thanks for the quick response. I added it to our issue tracking the federation of mod actions (mbinOrg/mbin/#248)

git pull git checkout v1.5.x ./deploy.sh or ./deploy-docker.shFantastic - you are so incredibly dedicated!!
One suggestion: for posterity add to "No more loss of high-value comments with the OP deletes." the constraint that the post must remain bookmarked by someone or else it will get deleted (it is not automatic otherwise).

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.
