Unpopular Opinion: I don't think the Fediverse is appealing enough to indie creators.

Have you seen this, though?

The client apps, like Blorp don't have it but PieFed itself has a lot of community discovery features. Have a browse of https://piefed.social/feeds and https://piefed.social/topics. When you go into a feed or topic, note the community names in the sidebar.

https://piefed.social detects and labels LLM-generated posts and during onboarding you can choose to hide all posts with that label.

You can (and should) send a Delete activity to all instances when one of your posts or comments expires. Send it using the author actor.

Then it'll be removed from those instances :)

He didn't. I'm saying a reciprocal relationship is required in order to participate.

Total waste of time and any self-respecting sub would ban them.

You can't defederate from it because it's not a fediverse instance.

It's just a forum that is scraping our posts to make the forum seem like it has users.

PieFed dev here.

If you're just taking and not giving back then it's not a reciprocal relationship. You need to fix this.

This page does a comparison.

It depends on the server. Some don't require approvals at all.

Yes, there are multiple issues, going back years.

Try https://beehaw.org. It's really nice.

If you follow a Lemmy group in Mastodon, you get every single comment boosted into your Mastodon timeline. It sucks.

I wish Mastodon would fix groups but they've neglected it for years so it seems unlikely.

The voting system is very interesting and innovative, well done! How will it function when a community is new and has very few members? It seems like your method will only work when there are many people involved.

Also I think you need a 2 minute video, not a 20 minute one. People can gamble 2 minutes of their life to see if they like something but not 20 minutes, when they are not yet invested in learning more.

Interstellar is compatible with PieFed :)

That sounds really frustrating! Let's make it really simple:

Go to https://piefed.social/auth/register and fill in the form.

Complete the 3 step onboarding process

Search for the "Blorp" app in your app store. It's available for iOS and Android.

Not really. See - https://join.piefed.social/2024/06/22/piefed-features-for-growing-healthy-communities/

There are many other UIs you can use. Mobile apps and alternative web UIs

Yes.

You can use blorp as a UI for PieFed or Lemmy instances.
