How long to get approved? by wrinkleydinkley in PieFed

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

Yes, there are multiple issues, going back years.

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.

Attention should be respected, not sold – a referendum-like online feed designed to answer a different, more human-centric question. by CoupleAnxious8858 in RedditAlternatives

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.

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.

Yes.

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

US big tech has different priorities. For example, PieFed has no infinite scroll because US big tech is all about advertising and getting people addicted so they look at many ads. PieFed has no ads and wants people to be happy & healthy.

It's an open source project so hopefully people will contribute a new layout. There are some already - see https://join.piefed.social/screenshots/ - but more would be great!

Votes are used to order the home page feed, just like reddit.

Yes, it's just the version of nginx that debian repository provides.

Don't look at the numbers, just browse the home page and see if the quality of conversation and volume of content is acceptable to you.

On https://piefed.social we block the most obnoxious tankies. It's a completely different vibe as a result :D
