Hello everyone. New to piefed but not to the fediverse. Wanted to try this one after being on lemmy for over a year.
I noticed a funny thing: while boost lets me log in and see the posts, it only shows a part of the comments of this post.
Then I logged with blorp and instantly saw them all.
The subscribed to billions of communities I'm not interested in thing is part of why I haven't used this account since making it 9 months ago lol. I was expecting it to just subscribe me to like the generic movies/science/news comms or like just the top five mau of each category. Was the button always there and I was just blind?
No, it wasn't.
I pressured for one lol because of this
Why am I getting posts in my feed that, when I open them, I can see I'm not subscribed to the.... whatever the equivalent of "subreddit" is here?
And how can I stop them showing up apart from blocking that channel?
You are subscribed to a lot of communities via the topic chooser (you must have clicked all or most of the topics). Go to your settings: https://piefed.social/user/settings, click "Profile" and scroll down to "Unsubscribe from Everything".
But I don't want to unsubscribe from everything. Just to stop seeing them that I'm not subscribed to.
Okay I am confused here. What feed are you looking at on the frontpage: "Subscribed", "Local," "Popular" or "All"?
Ah! Thank you! Bloody "all" was chosen.
Seriously confusing why I had German communities showing up.
You can change the default feed in settings btw.
Greetings from Lemmy.
Yay! I'm on social media, being social! 😃
Hi! I'm pineapple_pizza, and I'm new in town
Hello! Me too!
And I'll try to keep my trap shut.
Your deliciousness is welcome though 😋🍕
Thank you for this information. Much appreciated! Notice it is a lively community here, which is great to contribute to. Onwards and upwards. Let's goooo
Don’t click the red bar!
Famous last words
You can have a little click the red bar, as a treat.
Welcome new Users!!
PS. If you're looking for a good mobile app, Voyager works the best for me: https://getvoyager.app/
https://blorpblorp.xyz/ is also great.
This is what I use👍🏼
Im going to toss in Summit as well. Really excellent, immensly customizable, steady updates.
As a user of Relay for Reddit, this is excellent. So many of the same features and customisations that I feel right at home already.
Many people prefer smaller images on the home page - go to https://piefed.social/user/settings and try the "More compact" option in the "Compact UI" field.
The other option - "Most compact" - is similar to old.reddit which is nice but not to everyone's taste.
Also try another theme! Amethyst is a popular one and the HPT themes are nice. Also Card Shadow. The rest are kinda experimental.
Welcome to all those new to piefed. Hope everyone enjoys their stay.
The sign up page needs to be redesigned. I literally could not sign up a few days back. I think now what it was is the catcha has a white box underneath to enter the field, which can be missed.
Good point, thanks!
Neat ! What’s the reason for the influx of new users?
Successful posts on r/buyfromeu mostly. I think some others too.
Ah, should have guessed it was a Reddit thing 🙂
Over the last week a hand full of posts have hit over ~450,000 views together.
See !fedibridge@lemmy.dbzer0.com for more info
Wow, I didn't know there is a South Africa instance!
It didn't exist until last week.
I'll move the South African sub to it eventually
is there any thread that share Bandcamp redeem code? I am new here to btw :-)
Why are there more comments when I see this post on Lemmy.World than when I see it here?
Because there's a UI bug. We're aware of it.
The stickying of posts instance-wide has only just been rolled out.
Welcome! mmmm new meat.

OR AM I??
i am.
OR AM I THOUGH
They're all full of micro-plastics personally I'd stay away
They're made out of meat

I assume this was posted because there's an expected influx of new users? First, welcome! Second, I'm OOL. What'd Reddit do this time?
Nothing. Just some very successful promotions on r/buyfromeu and a canadian subreddit.
Ah right! My reflex is to assume they've done something unspeakable!
In your defense, I bet if we dig for a few moments we'll find something horrible that they've done that has somehow caused this. Reddit simply cannot leave well enough alone:-).
