PieFed help@piefed.social•How to make sure I don't miss posts from low volume communities?
2·2 years agoIt would be great to group notifications with different priorities as well. A mod report has a different weight than does a reply than does a notification that someone posted in a group. Perhaps something for a future roadmap?
Nice, yeah that works. I sometimes add more flower and moisture and then bake when there is a second rise.

PieFed Meta@piefed.social•Server boosts: a sustainability model for pyfedi?
1·2 years agoWhy wouldn’t we? They invest hundreds of thousands in good UX and novel business models and are one of the most popular online platforms at the moment. Better borrow liberally from what they and other companies like it come up with to make f/loss better and more financially sustainable. The joke is that because Discord took VC, their server boosts will actually not be profitable enough for them. But it might be for fediverse platforms.

1·2 years agoI am also not promoting “one model”. There can be many, this is about allowing customization and having communities and instances reflect contributions by members. It is fairly successful in the proprietary space no reason not to similar modes of sponsorship and reward in open source.

PieFed Meta@piefed.social•PieFed privacy: control your search visibility
1·2 years agoThese are good features but I would be very careful calling any of this privacy. You can call it “limiting discoverability” and emphasize that it relies on parties (whether google or kbin) to play ball. In essence the posts are still public, can still be found, can still be linked to but are just not as discoverable as other posts.
Thank you! That is good to know! Again, I only created the community to understand the state of the project and help with some user testing. I’ll create some issues based on this!




I think this makes more sense than upvotes to be honest. Both mechanisms are “gameable” but in slightly different ways. Basing it on upvotes allows those that are popular posters / commenters to surface. Basing it on accepted reports allows those with whom the mod team agrees to surface. Both are quite tricky and might need some caution mechanisms built in. One such cautioning mechanism is to only do this at the Community/Sub-Reddit level. Then a more nuanced approach is to surface people based on upvotes per community and then suggest those accounts to community / mods admins for promotion. I.e. no automatic promotion.
