hello from piefed!

PieFed represent! Highly recommended, the 'Topics' feature that aggregates multiple community is super valuable to me

So confused that skybridge is now getting all the media attention lol. Its been around for over a year and hasnt been updated for 3 months. It works fine, its just that nobody actually bothered to use it. Not really clear how 800 dollars is going to make a difference here.

They couldve just checked the repo lol.

Check out Phanpy.social for the Catch-up algorithm, which allows you to fully customise and sort your feed.

For a real 'For You' algorithm that suggests posts by people you dont follow, check out SoraSNS on iOS. That has a fully customisable algorithm where you can completely customise the topics the algo recommends, as well as how likely each topic is to be recommend.

Piefed has this, and it's great!

It is worth noting that what they posted in their business plan in July 23 (1) differs quite a bit from what Jay Graber mentioned as their business plan in an interview with The Verge in Feb 24 (2), which again differs on quite a few points from what Jay Graber mentioned in a podcast with The Verge in March 24 (3).

Definitely both, but I'd probably separate the options? Think they can serve different purposes.

Example use case: blocking a NSFW instance to prevent seeing NSFW content, but if an account thats hosted on that instance would want to participate in SFW conversations on other instances that would be fine to see

Oh cool!

Sweet!

Very quickly becoming my favorite threadiverse platform

piefed has quickly become my main threadiverse driver. its really nice

Threads has implemented both ActivityPub implementations of quote posting: it uses the Misskey quote posting system, and also implemented fep-e232 (which is a better version of quote posting, but not implemented by any major platform), so that they are already immediately compatible with platforms that use the FEP version.

Mastodon ignores the current implementations of quote posting, and wants to do their own new implementation so that they can add granular control.

hey this is awesome, the grouping into topics works well!
