I'm super impressed by the features I'm discovering using Piefed! I'm going to be experimenting a lot with the keyword filter particularly. Here are some ideas we might add to make Piefed even better. Share you own in the replies.

Some of these options where too long to make it a poll.

My ideal default would be, users have to subscribe to vote, because drive-by downvotes are very common, and keep niche communities from getting anywhere in the All feed.

Another reason is to avoid the Reddit problem of people upvoting of off-topic posts by people who don't pay attention to what community it's posted in. I don't think Piefed/Lemmy/etc. has those kind of users (yet) but it's good future-proofing.

Currently the most popular suggestion is to have a "upvote this post and all it's cross posts” function, which would make that problem worse...

Yeah, I'm not sure why people want that. In all honestly I wouldn't implement it if it were me, but if you do I suggest restricting it to communities with the same topic, or maybe even restricting it to communities with the exact same name.
