Welcome!

Can you imagine, years ago how the internet was before? We know Facebook, Twitter, Tiktok, Youtube. We knew blogger, Tumblr, Skyrock... and long before, it was the forum era as phpBB..and mail-lists.

And now with ActivityPub, we are reshaping the web, and achieving much more with lots of freedom. So thank you all, and welcome ๐ŸคŸ๐Ÿ˜

PieFed has a dizzying array of settings and options that instance admins can tweak. Most of them have obvious and sensible default values but some of those have been a bit controversial, especially to do with what gets blocked by default. In this post I explain what those are and how they can be configured.

Before we created the bulk community import feature, all communities were manually imported.

Back then it happened by people importing their profile settings from Lemmy, which includes their community subscriptions. As soon as a dozen people joined piefed.social and imported their settings, 80% of the popular communities were added, including ones with 'shit' in their name.

So this anti-shock filter on the bulk import isn't a big hurdle, at all. Shitposts abound, regardless.
