hell yeah

I can see why someone in 1911 would think that but there’s been an awful lot of water under the bridge since then.

Ask your admins about that - PieFed has that feature but only admins can do it and it’s instance-wide.

No Kings day next week.

That could happen in the future but at the moment and in the past surely we lost more mods as a result of their community being dead than from their community being too active. But we don’t hear from them because they feel rejected and like they failed so they slink away quietly.

99% of communities need more content, not less.

Thank you for this counter-weight!

Thanks, I was thinking that’d be a good use of it!

Yes but it’s empty. I made it just so someone else couldn’t.

Cloudflare caching can solve this. Cache based on the user agent.

Never put more of your attention on the downvotes you get vs the upvotes you get.

A handful of downvotes is normal.

I’ve been thinking about adding Q&A features to PieFed for a while… Initially just the ability to set a comment as the solution to a post and then give that comment more emphasis in the UI. What else do we need? Maybe display the number of solution comments on peoples profile.

Install a floppy drive. No one gonna steal a computer with one of those.

Yes there are good arguments to be made for either option. You do you, it’s fine. All this only affects the url, you can change the title and description of a community any time… 95% of people will find the community through a UI that abstracts away the url anyway.

Naah I can’t be policing the naming of communities, really. Seems a bit micro-managing, when it’s somewhat of a grey area.

So while I agree with Blaze I’m not going to enforce anything about it.

IMO politics is generally pretty nationally-focused and most of the time the significance of each turn of the worm is only really obvious to people in that country. e.g. I’m pretty up with the play on all the anglosphere politics but am incompetent when it comes to south african or indian or slovakian politics and that’s fine by me. There is some globally-significant politics news but maybe not enough to sustain a community on it. So a collapse into US politics news is probably inevitable.

How about we have two politics communities, one for US and one for everything else? i.e. Keep the existing one and just change it’s description and make a second one.

Also as Blaze said there are other PieFed instances. I’m a fan of !world@quokk.au but feddit.online or piefed.zip are good homes too.

Such a great game. Huuuge time commitment tho.

Crushing it

FYI piefed.social also has !fediverse@piefed.social which is more active and not run by atomicpoet.

Consider joining !fediverse@piefed.social

We have two fediverse communities already, we don’t really need three :)
