Are there plans to make private communities accessible/usable without an account on the same instance ?
Is it possible to switch from private to public (and vice versa)? -
Are there plans to make private communities accessible/usable without an account on the same instance ?
Is it possible to switch from private to public (and vice versa)?Sorry, i don't know if it is possible. I haven't tried/tested private community on Piefed. I recall you can add username to community. However i wanted to react on switching private community to public. There are case where you want to do that.
However, i think it is sensible and shouldn't be allowed or not decided by the mods team at least. I wouldn't recommend switching private to public is the software. Because there are thing we talk between ourselve, and they should stay that way.
Maybe, it would require to delete the whole posts and comments history. Dunno, for me it requipe people approval. Or something like mastodon that hide your post from people that aren't in your friend circle and then everyone decide for themselve whatever is the community decision.

Most likely the various softwares would opt out of handling non-public content out of safety.
It is something we'd want to work on in lockstep with all the various devs 🙂

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
