Do you mean can feeds combine communities from different instances? My assumption would be yes.

My work?

I am just noting that Piefed is developing much faster right now than Lemmy.

Piefed communities are less active, and less likely to trend generally.

Upvotes are a means to an end for site visibility though, which is required to attain conversation in most cases.

It is possible. Piefed and Lemmy federate together.

As far as I know, if someone from lemmy.world is banned on lemmy.zip (an example) - they are only directly banned from lemmy.zip communities they have commented on. This is why the modlog shows users simultaneously banned from like a dozen comms at once from time-to-time - they’ve just been banned from an instance

But any communities on lemmy.zip that the user banned from lemmy.zip hasn’t commented on, they can still post there. It just doesn’t federate out.

That means a user from lemmy.world could be a nuisance on a lemmy.zip community without the local lemmy.zip mods noticing. This absolutely happens on piefed bans of lemmy users now, and I assume the same in reverse. I saw a user banned from piefed.social still posting on my [email protected] community from lemmy.world, but it just doesn’t federate out.

Public downvoting already negates the amount of downvotes here relative to reddit. I see no reason why the modlog doesn’t also serve the same function, dissuading mods from blatant abuse that would tank their reputation and potentially get them removed as community owners.

I haven’t noticed posts derailing off-topic anymore than I have on reddit.

What automated things did Reddit do here exactly in relation to the mod log?

I mean the presence itself likely keeps moderators more honest that they might be on reddit. That isn’t to say the modlog is designed perfectly (it isn’t). But it’s far better than what Reddit has (nothing).

No, it’s different software.

How so?

It’s a lot less likely. Instance owners are closer to the management of the communities than Reddit admins are. Many would not accept it and remove moderators like that from their communities.

Well I’m talking specifically about communities on the fediverse here as they move between instances, not piefeds local activity.

Piefed.social, no, but other piefed instances might.

Yes.

Tbf I don’t think you have to have it on.

https://piefed.social/topics

Check here and see if you’re subscribed to the topics here. Unsubscribe from them.

https://piefed.social/topics

I think you can unsubscribe from whatever topics you subscribed to here, and it should auto-unsubscribe you from those communities.

Not if you want to make use of some of Piefeds tools.

Okay, so you’re the second user who has mentioned this today. You’re right in my opinion.

I’ve specifically directly bought this up in conversations about this. Don’t worry. I don’t think the auto-subscribing to all the communities in a topic is a good idea.

A new piefed.social user is presented with topics that they select an interest in. Each topic is a feed made by site admins, with specific communities in them. Some feeds can be quite large. It currently auto-subscribes you to each community in a feed. So if you pick multiple interests, you can get a very large subscription list. I will forward this on to emphasise my point.

That’s because google is scraping comment threads, not user profiles.

But in any case? Good. Reddit allowing people to hide public profiles is bad. It has made it easier to troll, to astrotrurf and abuse people on there.
