PieFed v1.4 will have Stack Overflow-like functionality: the person who posted a question will be able to choose which of the replies are the answer, by clicking the green tick icon in the bottom left. Chosen answer(s) then have a highlight and a green tick at the top of them.
This is off by default - communities have a checkbox on them that needs to be toggled to turn it on. So only some communities will have it.
To Lemmy instances, these questions and answers will look just like normal posts and comments, without the highlight and tick. So people using Lemmy will be able to contribute.
Designating which comment is an answer involves federating a new Activity:
{ "id": "https://piefed.social/activities/answer/hgb4iO4b8UAFRTn", "type": "ChooseAnswer", "actor": "https://piefed.socialz/u/rimu", "object": "https://piefed.ngrok.app/comment/224", "@context": ["https://www.w3.org/ns/activitystreams", "https://w3id.org/security/v1"], "audience": "https://crust.piefed.social/c/linux_questions", "to": ["https://www.w3.org/ns/activitystreams#Public"], "cc": ["https://crust.piefed.social/c/linux_questions"] }Vernacularly, I rather have
OPsChoicethanChooseAnswerbecause OPs in the threadiverse are often wrong in their perspectives. If it creates a flag for the Activity indicating it's what OP choose, it won't lead to Sybil attacks we are already facing. -
Yeah, it should be an ID on the post imo, not a bool on the comment. Other users (bar mods) shouldn't be able to edit other people's data.

Ideologically, you're right.
But since announcing that feature I also started, finished & announced another major one and am now eying up the next one.
Onwards!

There's also the issue that the comment could be on a service that doesn't support this (which is all of them bar Piefed), so this won't be set. At least if this was on the post, it's within your remit and can therefore control for it.

I'd like to see the

What's the secret to Rimu's speed? Piefed is young, so any accumulated technical debt doesn't interfere with new functionality...
Yet...
Sorry rimu@piefed.social, that time will come for you 😂

Oh, a * peek * at piefed. I thought it was going to be some doom and gloom about user count peaking. It’s actually just an introspective.

Paige and Victor get into the weeds with Rimu the creator of Piefed. What is the secret to Piefed's rapid development and what direction is is Piefed rapidly developing?
