Hello from PieFed!

Control+r == search through your bash history.

I used linux for ten years before finding out about that one.

thanks for the quick research very helpful. :-)

Piefed instances now do have a form of this for instance admins to populate new instances.

Admins can:
-pull the lemmyverse data and subscribe to a bunch of communities at once
or
-target a single lemmy or mbin instance, get the list of communities that instance hosts, and subscribe to a bunch of communities on that instance.

Both have some tunable settings to allow admins control over how many communities are followed.

Its not an end-user thing, but it should help with setting up new instances and them not being so ‘empty’.

edit: typo

This code: https://codeberg.org/rimu/pyfedi/src/branch/main/app/api/alpha

Its mostly freamon and rimu working on that part. Iirc its meant to be lemmy api compatible, but i think there are some adaptations needed to accomadate the piefed way differences.

Freamon got a fork of a lemmy app to sort-of work back in september (https://matrix.to/#%2F!NVUzKiFppMtECaxHQm%3Amatrix.org%2F%24KJqJfus8DVy-B64AC8uWEQ9oiGsRA04AReRF-05nQYA%3Fvia=matrix.org&via=tchncs.de&via=jeena.net) so the alpha api stuff has been coming in since then.

no apps yet. work on an alpha API is in progress though, so soon™ hehe

not a fork, its its own code base built from scratch.

Yes. I added that myself a couple months ago 😎

edit: you have to export your lemmy user settings. that comes down as a .json file. Then you make a piefed user, and there is an import settings in the piefed user profile.

it will also attempt to import any blocks/bans of users/communities you had in the lemmy settings. But if the instance of piefed you are on does not ‘l\know’ about those users/communities it wont add them to bans list. But of course that means the community in question is not federated to the instance you are on, so half-dozen-of-one-six-of-the-other really.

Same

I have a Razer blade 15 advanced from a few years ago. I’ve run Arch on it, and now NixOS

It does steam fine, I can use the GPU for gaming, all that fun stuff.

Same. I loved reddit before it went to h*ll. Now I run my own PieFed instance just for myself and even if the other devs give up on the project I know it will still be there. Cause it’s mine

Oooh, good point. That would mess with Lemmyverse data, which would be annoying for discovery

“Six Head”

Ah, yeah fair point there.

I follow hashtags I like, then see who the people are who use those tags, then follow those people.

I find that I discover people that way I would not have found otherwise.

It’s worked well for me so far. I wasn’t a twitter person before though, so I don’t know if I have the experience you did for comparison.

Snake Case and Pascal Case is what I tend to default to

Ah, that makes sense, thank you.

So how does triple licensed code work as an end user? They have multiple packages and i pick the one with the license i like? Or just one package and i just declare im using the AGPL ‘essence’ in my instance?
