quokka.au changed from Lemmy to PieFed and it was ok once the remote servers refreshed their public key caches, about a day.

Mastodon to GTS could turn out different but yeah.

PieFed does that. See https://piefed.social/feeds which are basically collections of Lemmy communities that you can join or leave with 1 click.

Yep

It is a design choice to offer a news feed that combines verified news sources with tankie memes — interspersed with photos generated by AI

I’ve really tried to provide tools to tame the meme flood and put them into effect on https://piefed.social/ - compare that with the front-page (or All feed) of any Lemmy instance (or most PieFed instances, to be fair).

Gen AI filter is coming.

I love how interlinked the tech tree was. In later versions it became a much simpler tree-based hierarchy which is easier to mentally navigate but way less realistic.

Although, replacing the battery on the Fairphone is so much easier that 1000 cycles is acceptable.

#fedihire hashtag on Mastodon is as close as it gets.

But usage is not going downwards. Check these stats out: https://fediverse.observer/stats

MAU has been steady at 1.1 million since this time last year.

Within the fediverse there are some platforms that are losing ground and some that are growing.

Unrelated but sorta: there’s also these errors in the console, because Cloudflare is trying to inject a bunch of analytics and tracking which PieFed’s CSP is blocking:

Jerry your Cloudflare is getting in the way. When I go to feddit.online and run this JS in my browser dev tools I get a 403 and a bunch of gibberish from Cloudflare in my console:

fetch('/api/alpha/user/login', {
  method: 'POST',
  headers: {
    'Content-Type': 'application/json'
  },
  body: JSON.stringify({
    username: 'testuser',
    password: 'secretpassword'
  })
})
  .then(response => response.text())
  .then(text => {
    console.log('Raw response:', text);
    try {
      const json = JSON.parse(text);
      console.log('Parsed JSON:', json);
    } catch (err) {
      console.error('Failed to parse JSON:', err);
    }
  })
  .catch(error => console.error('Fetch error:', error));

1600 users, 948 monthly active. https://piefed.social/about

Across all instances, about 1500 mau and rising.

Lol yes

Any scanner recommendations?

Yesterday I merged in a PR that lets the instance admin set the sizes for thumbnails.

But the real issue is that the thumbnails have a variety of uses - in the PieFed web UI thumbnails are shown quite small so 170px is fine. But some mobile apps might show the thumbnail in a manner that spans the whole screen which is going to need to be at least 350px wide.

I’ll make PieFed generate a 500px version of the thumbnail and include that in the API response (as well as the smaller one).

Per IP address.

That seems low. I’ve increased it to 20 per hour.

Great news, congratulations!

I hope they do this, it’d make the APIopolypse look like a practice run.

lol, wow

I looked at the code recently. It’s really good, way better than the UI made me expect.
