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.

    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.

    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.

    I’m going to be participating in the Growing the Open Social Web workshop at Fediforum on March 3, 2026. I’m excited to talk to other people who care about the Fediverse about ways to connect more people through ActivityPub.Fediforum invited attendees to publish position papers before the workshop. SWF has a number of hypotheses about growth of the social web; I’ll try to summarise some of them here.Growth can’t come at the expense of privacy. People currently on the Fediverse must have the tools they need to preserve their privacy as the network grows. This means privacy from other users, as well as privacy from new platform operators. Expanding the options for private interactions on the Fediverse, like end-to-end encrypted messages and private groups, is necessary for preserving privacy as the user base and platform list expands.Connecting platforms to the Fediverse is our most efficient way to grow. There are already billions of people on social platforms across the Internet. Getting these platforms to let users publish to the Fediverse, as well as having two-way interactions with remote users, lets people share in the benefits of the Fediverse with a platform and interface that they’re already used to. Even when brand new social platforms adopt ActivityPub, they bring their new features and users.Connecting communities helps us grow fast and stay cohesive. Bringing formal and informal communities onto the Fediverse is a great way to enable a lot of new users quickly. By formal communities, we mean organized groups like clubs, universities and schools, professional societies, enterprises, or local and regional governments. These groups can set up their own places on the Fediverse, like Mastodon servers, and provide user accounts for all their members. (One great way to connect formal communities is to Fediverse-enable the community platforms they already use.) These new Fediverse users have the kind of connections in place that retain active users, as well as the support they need to use the Fediverse. More informal communities, like people sharing the same profession, fans of a particular hobby, or users of a language or technology, can be great additions to the Fediverse, but these groups are less cohesive and less likely to bring their own infrastructure.People come to social networks for existing social ties. Bringing on new users one-by-one is the most difficult way to grow this network. The best way to engage new users on the network, and to keep them active and interested, is to make sure they can connect to people they already know and care about. That may be friends, family, colleagues and neighbours, or brands, creators, and publications they recognise. Our onboarding processes for Fediverse users need to encourage the social contacts so that people feel a reason to stick around for day 2, 7, and 30.We’re looking forward to engaging with the Fediforum community on these and other topics. We’ll see you on March 3!

    @julian thank you! It quiet often feels like the tools are quiet special interest tools for the most people but quiet usefull for some.The most frustrating part persoally for me is that their are sooo many good fediverse related ideas but it is really hard to find any other way than to use your free time to work on it. So most projects I can show is small weekend projects! @encyclia is really great idea and I'm exited for the impact it could have on scientst in the fediverse

    @stefano Good morning 👋🏻You are entirely right: the real life is not behind our screens. Go outside and meet people that work/live differently than us: this is a good life’s lesson.Enjoy your day 🙏🏻🤗
