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.

I don't know if these already exist, but thinking long-term of how to prevent Reddit-like problems:

  • An option to move a post to a different community (with the agreement of the other community's moderators) if the post is in the wrong community, but otherwise seems valid/good-faith/high-effort/etc.

  • And for the opposite situation where the post is just garbage, but highly upvoted by bots/brigading, there could be a "nuke it from orbit" option that not only deletes it and bans the poster, but also bans everyone that upvoted it.

Moving a post would be great, yep.

Not all votes are intentional, I think there needs to be manual review in there. Will look for opportunities to add some kinda feature called 'nuke from orbit' though...

UI: instead of Lemmy-like main view, offer a list of selected feeds as tabs in the main view

I thought of another one. In this age of decreasing digital freedom, PieFed (and every other website) should allow people to register multiple email addresses, in case a user suddenly loses access to one.

A user setting to customize vote display: users could choose to see only upvotes for their own content, while viewing others' content by upvote percentage, or only upvotes, or see both upvotes and downvotes, instead of only total votes.

Add ability to use keyword filter on community names and instance names. For example I want to filter out all meme communities.

What do you think about a "Share" button on posts? Might also go in the three-dot menu if there's not enough space. Right now you'd have to "manually" share/copy the link to a post, which isn't a huge deal, but I think a button would be a nice QOL improvement. :) On mobile, it might even integrate with native OS-specific share menus.

A real 'block' option would be nice on the threadiverse. Right now all we have is a glorified 'mute' button. A block, to me at least, implies that the blocked person can't see or interact with my posts or comments (and not simply that I can't see their posts/comments).

It might complicate things if people who block each other post the same link to a community though. And I assume that federation likely makes implementing this more difficult as well ... but still, it would be nice!

On the same Piefed instance, the block is two ways

Last time I tried, it didn't properly federate yet, but it's a start

Ah - thanks, it's great to hear this is being worked on!
