I don't normally care about my cakeday, but I was confused.

I recently created this Piefed.World account (within this year), but it's telling me that my CakeDay is January 27, 2026, 348 days from now.


I posted it on the Piefed Support Community , and was told that it was a glitch in the app.

Yeah, it's definitely better.

Thanks very much

 

On Reddit, moderators can comment as regular users by default, and only display the green MOD badge when they intentionally “distinguish” a comment as an official moderation response.

It made me think about how this works across the Fediverse — particularly with PieFed.


PieFed supports opt-in mod distinction, allowing moderators to choose when they’re speaking officially versus when they’re just participating in a discussion as a regular community member.

That distinction can meaningfully affect tone, power dynamics, and how comfortable users feel engaging in open conversation.

By contrast, Lemmy (at least currently) does not support this feature at the protocol level, so this suggestion is not for Lemmy users.


Feature Suggestion (PieFed Users Only)

Would it be possible for Summit to support PieFed’s opt-in moderator distinction system?

Specifically:

Allow PieFed moderators to comment as regular users by default

Provide a clear, intentional toggle to mark a comment as “mod voice” when speaking officially


This would:

Help preserve conversational tone when Piefed mods are participating casually

Reduce unintentional authority signaling

Maintain transparency when acting in an official capacity

To be clear, this request applies only to PieFed users, since Lemmy does not (at least not currently) support this capability.


EDIT: Apparently Lemmy now supports the feature?

Or at least Lemmy.world does?

Thx for the information.

The instance (piefed.world) also feels somewhat slower.

Like it takes a bit for stuff to load.

Although, I'm not sure if it's actually the instance, or if I've just chosen a bad time to join, and they're having issues.

EDIT: @MrKaplan@lemmy.world I also made an official issue , in Codeberg.

 

I recently decided to try out Piefed.World, after using Lemmy.World for so long.

I'm a community mod, and, previously, when using my Lemmy account, the community information showed me this:

But when I access it via Piefed, it shows me this:

Is there an issue with federation, or......?
