Maybe that filter is the one missing, if that’s the case, that will be changed soon, as it always has been for every time a similar issue was raised
the thorn character filter
196 and other memes communities not being federated by default
the “this filter” being configurable
My personal stance is that Piefed has several features that Lemmy has been lacking for more than a year, and that prevent the Threadiverse from growing
multicommunities
onboarding process asking new joiners what they are into
crossposts comments consolidation
communities moderation features
posts and user flairs
keyword filters
None of the Piefed users ever said Piefed was perfect, that the code was elegant, or that there were no issues with filters such as the the three examples I listed above.
What we see from time to time is people spreading literal misinformation about Piefed, saying that those filters can’t be disabled by an admin (they can), and/or that a fork is needed to do so (it’s not) .
That’s why I created that post, because for whatever reason Piefed seems to now have haters, which seems counterproductive as it has the unique features listed above.
I personally would prefer people to say “Lemmy is fine, PieFed is fine too, both can operate with each other, my personal preference is X” rather insulting Piefed or Lemmy devs.
Seems like piefed should fix a lot of that. For some of it, at least make it configurable and not hard coded. But that blocked user stuff seems like a real problem.
Yeah I’m reading that in other replies. Still you would put this in configs, for which you could have templates that come with certain defaults populated, rather than hard coding like this.
I’m doing this because I love doing it. Often that means the boring bits like documentation or config or general finesse get left out. I’m trying to paint with broad strokes in the hope that when others see what I’m trying to do they’ll join in and fill in the details.
Yeah no worries. I’m happy with any effort that brings more people to the fediverse. My comments were honest and constructive criticism. Wasn’t meant to offend. Keep up the good work.
Where both calls anyone but them looking at the code amateurs and can’t understand people wouldn’t provide feedback if thought bad things in code were purposely done as so many projects will do that
There’s no need to listen to rumors and amateur speculation when we’re right here and happy to help. Come on in, the water’s fine!
This comment was a month ago, and he was aware of people heavily slamming his project and showing no interest at all in actually sharing it to him.
He isn’t specifically “calling out” anyone directly. All he says here is that the stuff people are complaining about here have been on piefed and not hidden since day zero.
Notice the quote from them specifically saying everyone but us are amateurs.

Again he’s linking to the thread calling out others for looking at the code.
And again most are pointing out how terrible the code is and how odd it is for some of the features to exist.

As i asked there, which is the 4chan image blocking as the checks there simply say images from 4chan cause reputation loss.
I know you are amazing at promoting the fediverse but feels odd to see you ignore all the issues people bring up about piefed
Edit : asked Rimu, here’s the answer:

That was an interesting read.

Most of it is configurable and off by default. But the haters don’t mention that.

Everyone knows this. This is also just piefed.social.
Linking so people see it.
Isn’t that something possible in any piefed spot not just the instance of the dev?
Yes. So? Piefed.ca is receiving the bump here. Other instances have turned it off.
You know Rimu made a thread in !piefed_meta@piefed.social so you can ask questions or express concerns.
Because it’s a piefed feature set.
Based on rimus responses here and elsewhere they do not seem interested in feedback.
Even in their comment linking to a thread saying they welcome it, they were attacking someone providing it
Where do you see that in the thread?
Here = comm
And https://lemmy.world/comment/21861362 which leads to
