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.

Duplicate question, this was answered here [15 years ago, outdated and completely different stack] closing
But seriously neat though lol
/me searches a problem, finally finding someone asking the exact question I have.
Page: Can't you idiots search for anything, 2 seconds searching would have found the answer. -

Please specify a scope.

This is such a neat idea! 💡

Mixed bag
What the engines index, the LLMs ingest

I'd like to see the
answerproperty on the thread containing the ID of the marked answer. Any chance that this would be possible? -

answerbe an ID also works with existing implementations because it's still truthy...Although I think "truthy" is a purely js concept lol

Speak for yourself about the future, for me it is already here in the present! 🤩

Why bother posting solutions if no one's going to read them because they are undiscoverable

That's pretty much what happens with federated instances blocking each other. I wouldn't use that.

@julian hahahahaha

@julian @rimu @dessalines @nutomic we could have it in Lemmy as well ❤️

rimu@piefed.social when the question is federated outward, is it of type of question? 😛

Oh cool, didn't know Piefed supported Emoji reactions!
That's fair that you don't want to see it.
😬
-
Just noticed these starting to pop up. My life did not need more emojis in it.
-
A lot of people made new years resolutions about using social media less. So now we have an optional daily time limit! It's in https://piefed.social/user/settings. Bear in mind that it only counts time spent with a PieFed tab in the foreground - when you switch to another tab on another website to read a news article the timer stops. So you might need to set this lower than you think for it to be effective.
One nice thing about the fediverse is we don't need to optimize for addiction and try to keep you here longer than you want to.
The warning pops up with every page load so just clicking through it once won't work. It's for your own good!
-
I have received word that there are people combing through the PieFed code looking for anything that might be harmful. This is excellent and can only make PieFed better and less harmful.
We appreciate their interest in PieFed and look forward to answering any questions and showing people around the code. Please join us at https://chat.piefed.social or https://matrix.to/#/#piefed-developers:matrix.org.
There's no need to listen to rumors and amateur speculation when we're right here and happy to help. Come on in, the water's fine!

Got it :smile:
-
Happy to take a look in the AM, it's nearly midnight here. I'm confident I'll be able to figure out why NodeBB can't load your emoji at least.
As for mine, the emoji itself is transmitted with the activity. It's just how Mastodon does it so I mimicked their implementation.
-
On the PieFed side, : frowning : is not being converted because PF ignores the tag entirely and relies on daily polling of lemmy/api/v3/site to get lists of emojis, which is a bit crap for NodeBB. More work needed!
-
No, not yet :frowning: I wonder why. I'm using one in this post so I can compare...
No clue! They look the same! Mine has an id, but I don't think that'd make a difference...
