    Okay, I get the rationale behind it, but it seems like an improper extension of the voting mechanism, doesn't it?

    (Not specifically singling you out, I'm just speaking broadly.)

    One of those side effects that doesn't just affect you. Makes me wonder if this was added because it increases engagement metrics.

  • To warn you, downvoting is public on the forumverse, so if you are perceived as reflexively downvoting at scale in a community- you risk getting community banned.

  • Its basically what was done with trust cafe which the wikipedia guy started. the thing is he did not make it federated and as much as I like the setup I like the decentralized nature of the fediverse betters. I like using the portal but if someone made an app with this type of function I would be tempted. well as long as I did not have to run it on a phone.

  • I would love rating to be used in a basic algorithmic view that only takes into account the ratings you give. trustcafe does this where verything can be rated (posts, users, comments, communities, domains, etc) and defaults to a value of 50 that the user can change to between 0 and 100. So like rather than blocking someone I can be like. This person is annoying but they are a real person (I think) and I don’t want to totally discount them so I will drop them to 25 so their things go twice as far down my feed but then this other person I really jive with so I will rank them 75 so their stuff will be bumped up higher.

    That's an interesting take on feed curation

  • You need a client that marks a post as read as you scroll by. On Android I use Summit. In a browser Voyager should do. Maybe we get it with Lemmy 1.0 in Lemmy-UI, I don't know.

  • I don't even get why someone would want to vote on things especially with no real perspective like you describe. default donwn??? I upvote everything now but that is because of a quirk with a setting where I tell it not to show me things I have viewed or interacted with so upvoting removes stuff im not interested in. Previously I rarely if ever voted for something up or down and usualy only neder extreme circumstance. ie omg this is so aweful I need to do the community a service and down vote it or this is so great everyone really needs to see this. I personally don't really like community voting because everyone does it so many different ways its a useless metric.

  • Some people have wild personal psychologies.

    All I really do is post owl stuff, and I'll pick up a stray downvote here or there by accident I'm assuming. But I had one user downvoting near every post I made. No biggie to me, just a curiosity really. I wasn't sure why they wouldn't just block me or the community if they didn't like the content, but whatever. This went on for a couple months.

    One day they left a comment finally and it was a positive one. I replied essentially "thanks, but I thought you hated my content or me myself." Their reply was "nah, I love all your posts, I just downvote everything from .world to lower them in the sort." My guy, it's one vote. The whole thing was funny, especially since learning they were actually a fan, but so confusing to attempt to penalize someone for such a random reason, especially someone you seemingly enjoy.

  • in that case, you could simply upvote them instead of downvoting them ;)

    A big thank you to those who contributed to making this release, translating, writing documentation, providing emotional support and promoting PieFed! None of this would happen without you all. New hotness Pronouns - when you put pronouns into Extra Fields on your profile that is used as a flair in all communities where you haven't set a flair yet Private communities - no federation, only certain roles (depends on the community) can invite new people. Posts inside are only visible to members. Mastodon can now quote-boost PieFed posts Plain http web UI (no SSL required) with SSL used during federation - see http://retro.piefed.com Downvotes can be turned off completely in a community, not just instance-wide Admins can sticky a post on the home page, not just mods in their communities Auto-delete of replies on remote instances when reply author has been blocked by parent content author (only works in PieFed communities due to a ActivityPub limitation) On home page when showing number of replies a post has, calculate the sum of the replies on all cross-posts and display that New users can only do 3 posts in their first 24h, to reduce floods of posts by that guy who keeps deleting his accounts and making new ones More good stuff Improve emoji federation compatibility Change order of emoji in picker to present most-used ones first Daily time limit on usage to help people use PieFed less (released in 1.5.2) A way to report posts that need to be tagged as AI generated Better accessibility Improved handling of bold and italics in markdown parsing Don't accept votes from people the author has blocked Admins can resend email address verification email Admins can add notes to instances to keep track of defederation reasons, etc Search form has been simplified Option for admins to disable the em-dash detector Multiple minor bugfixes and security enhancements To upgrade from 1.5.x git pull git checkout v1.6.x At this point you might see an error message about a merge conflict with compose.yaml. To preserve your custom compose.yaml you will need to copy it somewhere else, then git checkout compose.yaml then git pull again. This time the pull will succeed so after that copy your custom compose.yaml it back, overwriting the one from git. Then, ./deploy.sh or ./deploy-docker.sh If you had to do the compose.yaml fix up earlier then you might want to compare what you have with https://codeberg.org/rimu/pyfedi/src/branch/main/compose.yaml and manually copy and paste some improvements in particular the command: part of the db container which tunes postgresql for performance. Adjust the numbers for your system. This time the database migrations will not take long.

    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 😂

    What's new Media library that lets you upload images to comments/post body and paste from the clipboard Animated gif support for user profile pictures Specify alt-text for link posts that link to an image Emoji picker and spoiler button added to markdown toolbar More links to the modlog (footer, community sidebar, user profile) and improved searching/filtering Leave a conversation to remove it from the list of their direct message conversations Post urls are now "friendly" since they include the community name and a snippet of the title instead of just a number Add link to show parent comment when directly viewing a comment reply Image markdown style formatting to allow more advanced control of how images are rendered. e.g. ![image alt text :: width=300px](https://url to image) Code syntax highlighting in code blocks and allow for style selection in user settings Tag cloud added to sidebar for feeds and topics Better searching and filtering of the Instances list Add a block (of a user, community, instance or domain) from the blocks and filters management area, without doing it via a post Popup suggestions when mentioning a community or user as you type Onboarding plugin which auto-subscribes, auto-blocks and sends a welcome message for new accounts Improved federation efficiency Old posts can be automatically archived (saved to S3) to free up database space Old posts by bots with no comments are automatically deleted LLDAP support, which does LDAP a bit differently To upgrade To upgrade from 1.2.x: git pull git checkout v1.3.x ./deploy.sh or ./deploy-docker.sh In the past we had a separate project for realtime notifications, which is now unsupported as it's code has been merged with the main PieFed project. To set it up, refer to the Push Notifications section of install.md. As well as enhancing the user experience doing this will decrease load on your server if it hosts local communities with many subscribers as some of the federation work has been offloaded to the push notifications service.

    Thanks Rimu. I'd link this one directly (and I do, under "Related Communities") but I was hoping for one dedicated to announcements only. No matter, it will work fine :)
