Also PieFed can import those exports that Lemmy makes.
So much whataboutism in the comments
Ah, it was not made clear what the popups are for. I’ll fix that, thanks.
It’s totally feasible and would not take long to code, at all, but IMO passkeys makes TOTP obsolete and are way more convenient. Correct me if I’m wrong.
Totally negligent on behalf of OpenAI to let this thing into their store. Let’s see if they take it down now that the spotlight is on.
Sad to hear it. When I was a noob I was a subscriber for a year or two. Great mag but got a bit repetitive after a while. Hard business.
Yes I have similar thoughts every time I’m on that form 😬
Yeah I think it’d be worth getting the voting buttons working, those are pretty key functionality.
The icons being stored in a font is kinda problematic (some browsers choke, large font file) but on the other hand it’s so great being able to set the color of them in CSS, which I found difficult when they are a SVG.
Love it, thanks!
In https://piefed.social/user/settings there are two different compact modes to choose from, which shrink the images to varying degrees.
I don’t know of any way to determine how JS-heavy a link is.
Yeah. But in this case the Topics menu can be quite heavy as it lists every community that the current user is subscribed to. Instead of generating that menu (and sending it to the client) on every page load, when it probably won’t even be used, PieFed makes an ajax call (only possible with JS) to retrieve the topics menu when it’s clicked. Same for ‘Feeds’.
This cut the amount of HTML being sent to the browser by around 50% (depends on how many communities you subscribe to but PieFed makes it extremely easy to subscribe to dozens of communities with a single click so many people have hundreds) and eased load on the server too. Some of the more under-powered instances run noticeably faster now.
Voting, lol. Kinda important.
Dropdown menus. They’re not really needed but life sucks without them.
Can’t manually switch between dark and light mode (only automatically based on browser settings).
There’s probably more but I haven’t seriously tried to use PieFed for long without JS. Fundamentally it’s built HTML and CSS first, with sprinkles of JS added on for funsies rather than the modern way of being all about JS.
Yes.
PieFed uses very minimal javascript (it 95% works with JS entirely disabled) and you can access all the same communities and posts.
Try it at https://piefed.social/ or any of these other instances - https://join.piefed.social/try
If we made a browser extension then it’d be able to call an API endpoint to find out if the current page has already been shared (by others) and change the sharing icon color…
As well as flair on posts, people can use flair on themselves in the comments, to indicate what their expertise or experience is, etc.
Check out Big Blue Button - https://demo.bigbluebutton.org/
Their website talks all about using it for teaching students but it’s really just like Jitsi with more features.
It’s an alternative and will remain one for a long time. Browser & OS support needs to mature before we could even think about making it a hard requirement.
At present I expect only instance admins would be interested in passkeys.
Over time if adoption and viability increases we might want to make passkeys more prominent, include the creation of the passkey as a step in the onboarding process, make email-based 2FA compulsory for every login when people use the old username+password method and various UI nudges to get people moving in the ‘right’ direction. But all that feels like a long way off at the moment.
Ok take a look now :)
