New piefed feature , anyone can subscribe to any post or comment (piefed is a reddit and lemmy alternative)

submitted by

codeberg.org/rimu/pyfedi/issues/20

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.ml/post/15109471

This is a feature that as far as i know lemmy does not have, so it might be worth it to checkout and support piefed, it will probably be useful if there are certain topics that are really relevant to you and you want to develop in depth knowledge of.

lemmy alternative

As long as it federates, hey?

It does. This reply is from PieFed, and the vast majority of the content here has come from Lemmy via ActivityPub.

It's possible to use Lemmy clients with piefed? Tried boost and can't login.

Not yet, no. There's no API for clients like Boost to interact with. There's some discussion about one here

Love to see unique features for piefed. So many different ways to tackle "threadiverse" as a project and I think we're all better off with some experimentation

A valid alternative to lemmy is... any other part of the fediverse.

well, not if you want a UI that's designed around threads like Lemmy or Kbin does 🤔

Yea that’d be a handy feature to help keep conversations going. It’s too easy to forget about conversations you’re interested in if they’re not in your feed.

This is a great feature. Lemmy should implement this as well.

Is this using ActivityPub? I notice that the lead dev shares a username with a lemmy.world admin.

EDIT: yes it is I missed that it is already federated with Lemmy instances

The lead dev is Rimu - which isn't on LW's admin list.

No thanks, I don't like Piefken

@nutomic@lemmy.ml, do you know if this feature is possible for Lemmy, or perhaps already in the works? I had a quick look on the GitHub but couldn't find anything.

If you can't find anything on github about it, creating an Issue/Feature request (I think that's a label there) would probably a good idea

Here is the relevant issue, but no one is working on it currently.

Maybe it’s doable with the new plug-ins system? I’ve asked in the issue.

Thanks for the link to the GitHub issue! Might there be any chance of prioritizing it for an upcoming release?

It seems like a feature which many users would find significant utility in. Since this post, there has already been another post inquiring about this feature.

True there are a lot of issues related to notifications. I will see what I can do.

Any updates on this? From the GitHub page, it looks like work on notifications is contingent on fixing an SQL paging problem. How is that issue going?

I should note that there's also the option to simply save a post or comment (the star in the web interface). It can then be found under "Saved" on your user page.

True, but that doesn't send notifications for comments and replies. You'd still have to remember to check it manually.
