PieFed help

EDIT:

Hello. I thought I could use my Lemmy login details to log into PieFed, but it isn’t working and had to create a separate account. Can you please clarify?

Hey there,

Piefed v1.6.17 Debian Linux 13 Trixie Docker kopitalk.net

Hello! I’ve got a very peculiar person who is currently accusing Me of lying about My pronouns, and saying I changed them within the last two hours to try and trick them. It’s very strange.

I wonder if it’s the cronjob again?

Piefed v1.6.17 Debian Linux 13 Trixie Docker kopitalk.net

Can no longer delete posts from Voyager. I tried it over web UI and was asked for the reason - did this change break this or was it always there?

When I click my profile and view comments, nothing shows up. I’m assuming this was because my most recent comment was over a year ago. Going to test it by commenting on this post. But seems like a bug, the profile tab should show all comments and posts, not just from the past year.

I created this community yesterday. A few folks joined, and now the count sits at 46 subscribers with <46 local subscribers on any Lemmy instance I visit (here or here for instance). But on Piefed, it’s 16 subscribers and 17 local 🙂

I just checked Blorp, Summit, Interstellar, and Voyager and none have this feature.

Piefed v1.6.10 Debian Linux 13 Trixie Docker kopitalk.net

This post isn’t federating, it seems:

I don’t really know how to word this question. But, basically, when users reply to my comments, I don’t always see these replies, and not all my comments are visible in other instances. I would have assumed this was an issue with comments not federating, but it seems arbitrary: it doesn’t seem to be tied to any particular instance, it happens with instances where there shouldn’t be any issues communicating with, and it seems to happen inconsistently.

I made the following post: https://piefed.social/c/gothindustrial/p/1810616/cultural-death-by-verin around 11am EST. However, 4 hours later it still hasn’t shown up on other instances, ex: https://lemmy.world/c/gothindustrial According to the Federation Health overview everything’s caught up.

when making this post I tried to mention the OP but it was not possible. text would get inverted in direction and placed after the “m_”

Sorry if this is a dumb question. How do I go back to where I was in my feed after clicking on a story? I see there are options at the top like, Home, Community, etc, but how do I get back to where I was?

i honestly am very confused, i tried to make a post in a community and i got this 503 error page and then when i went to the main piefed.social page i was logged out and when i tried to log back in i got the 503 error page and now no matter what i just get the error page u less i turn on a vpn? its only on my other phone though? the phone im using now works fine with no vpn but the other one only works with a vpn. i even tried clearing the cache and all the site data but its still the 503 error without the vpn on. does anyone know how i can fix this?

I imported my Lemmy account but noticed some blocked people weren’t transferred over. Most of the ones that didn’t cross over seem to be from specific instances, such as kbin.social, leminal.space, etc. But one was from lemmy.ml; others were imported fine but one user was not for some reason. There’s around four dozen blocked accounts and I didn’t check them all but it seems like most made it over.

I tried out so far voyager and interstellar. It seems that both don’t support hashtags. I can see them but I cannot click on them like the web version.

I’d like to post links with a tilde (~) but the tilde gets removed. Is there a way to put it ?

I tested on two browsers, the latter without any “protection” or addons, and I tried the same post on a Lemmy instance, where it’s fine. It’s clearly not happening on my side, and OP didn’t do anything wrong either.

This is a new issue which only started within the past few days. I’m completely unable to login to piefed.social via qutebrowser with the only error in the console showing something related to cloudflare with “access denied”

If you go here: https://piefed.social/home/active/all

When I want to save the changes, I get that warning. I couldn’t change the joining access, either. I’d be grateful for advice here.

I have a community on the piefed.zip server, and I schedule posts to go out at a future time. When I look at the list of scheduled posts, they’re in a seemingly random order. Am I missing a way to organize the list, preferably in chronological order?

As far as I’m aware, a person can crosspost on Lemmy very easily. There’s a copy button that lets them copy the entirety of the post content. Puts the body in quotes, preserves the alt text and title and links and the like, and all they have to do is change community and now it’s in another community.

With the help of other users here I have finally been able to get a PieFed instance up and running! I am running 1.5.3 (Docker install) and I’ve run into one small problem…trying to manually purge deleted posts always redirects to a page indicating that an error has occurred, the post is not purged. I am not sure how I would go about debugging this, but I will certainly provide any additional information that one might need. I appreciate all the help, the best part about the fediverse for me has to be the community! 👍

Hey,

I’ve successfully gotten PieFed up and running in its docker iteration and with help from folks here, I’m now backing things up as they should be! I noticed that cron is reporting an error in one of the scripts that is being called though, here is an example of the e-mail that I am receiving:

As the topic would suggest I’ve run into another problem with PieFed…I have Mailgun set up as my SMTP host for password resets and the like, the password to my knowledge is correct as I’ve tested the configuration out in a separate Python script and it logged into smtp.mailgun.org successfully on port 587.

Like combining Flair-or-tag-Text with some formatting? (I thought I saw that once, maybe it was in an app?)

Keep hitting nginx error 413 Request Entity Too Large when attempting to upload an image with alt text to !NiceMemes@sopuli.xyz as a piefed.zip user. Wondering if this is a piefed.zip or piefed in general limit, since if I run to my original account at @emotional_series7814@kbin.melroy.org the post goes through.

I’m the moderator of a community I created on Lemmy (/c/Delorean) and I’d like to add my piefed account as a moderator. Is this possible at all? I tried posting from this account to that community but I don’t see an option to add myself as moderator even though I’m logged in as my Lemmy account. Is this possible at all??

I’d like to switch MULTIVERSE to require registration approval, at least temporarily during periods of lower staff availability, but I don’t think anyone on our instance is receiving emails at the moment, and notifying users that their application has been approved is something I want to get working before requiring applications. I haven’t received My verification email.

I’ve tried two files, the larger is under 130 kB and 900x750 pixels.

The spaces between hashtags and urls are dropped, as well as parts of the url.

I frequently fat-finger both selecting the emoji icon and the X to close it, which results in accidentally hitting whatever emoji is closest to the X on random posts/comments. Is there a way to remove this reaction once I’ve done it? I know I can change the reaction to a different one, but if there’s a way to completely remove it I’m missing it.

I created a feed, but I’m no longer interested in the content of it and would like to delete it, but I can’t figure out how to. Does anyone know?

Have some instances and specific users blocked which seems to work fine in web version but not in apps. This seems to affect comments only as posts from those users and their profiles are hidden properly.

I plan on using docker compose. Are there any security risks (other than the obvious of using a VLAN and reverse proxy) that I should know about? If I use a reverse proxy (say, either hosted in a colo hosting provider or Cloudflare), does federation still work properly?

Hi.

Hi,

I’ve been using Voyager, but since I switched to Piefed, I am unable to hide NSFW posts. I have it all set up correctly, it just doesn’t work.

PieFed v1.4.4 Docker

The following post was made on !bmoviebonanza@lemmy.world :

I made my first two PieFed “Event” posts, but I don’t understand the times being shown.

Hi all - as always, love Piefed, hate to complain - but I noticed this week that I used to have 3 Scheduled Posts, all going to the DailyGames community, and now I just have 1:

I’ve set up a PieFed instance, but I’m not seeing any votes. Sorting by Top - All Time only shows posts with 1 vote. How do I solve this?

I want to increase the default quota of 50MB. Since I’m selfhosting a single user PieFed instance, I want to be able to use more space on my server for uploads.

As the title says, can I follow hashtags or searches on PieFed?

I feel like I’ve clicked everything looking for the ability. Clicked on the username, clicked on the little hamburger menu, checked every icon above and below the comment. What am I missing?

On Lemmy you have a tab to view your uploaded files, I cannot find any such tab or option for piefed.

I see a lot of communities that had no interaction in years. Also some community creators/moderators are inactive in the Threadiverse since the creation of the community.

I’m using the latest versions of Voyager and Interstellar from the App Store on iOS 26.2. If I go to my account and try to view my previous posts, only one is displayed, and oddly it’s not even the most recent one. It’s the same single post on both apps

Hello! I’ve recently started self-hosting piefed and federation seems to be working well! I can find communities, post to communities and the data is synced between instances. However, when I select the local filter on my personal instance, nothing shows up. I can’t seem to find a way to mirror the post locally without setting up a community and reposting it there. But wouldn’t that duplicate data as the original image is already stored locally?

Hey all, it seems I’ve not kept up on the instance updates and ran into a problem when looking to move several versions today. I’m currently sitting on 1.1.7, went through trying both the script and the manual steps (which look to be the same functionally) and get a consistent error every time at step 4/10

Hi,

Currently getting familiar with PieFed as my new main platform after using Lemmy for more than 2 years.

Edit2: Solved per wjs018’s comment

Is signing up with email forced by devs? I would like to sign up for piedfed but I don’t like to include my email for, well, anything psuedo-anonymouse like social networking. I haven’t been able to find any instances that don’t require email (my preferred is piefed.ca)

Essentially, on phone and desktop Firefox browser, logged in numerous times only to have page refresh with new blank entries, not actually logging in.

Hi, can a piefed server be run only locally? Not to get any content from other servers? Local content, local users. What are the minimum hardware requirements? Like cpu, ram? I understand it can eat more resources based on how much activity it has. But, can i get some examples on how much should or can a intel dedicated machine like 14900k with 64gb ram can handle? Is this software more cpu hungry or more ram needed?

Why is the piefed.social icon LGTB themed? Can we change this? o.o

I noticed a couple posts from lemmy.world didn’t federate here. I looked at a “federation health” interface and it looks like piefed.social is like 8 hours behind lemmy.world:

Follow up to earlier post - New Community Not Appearing On Front Page? https://piefed.social/post/1476317#comment_8859947

Hi,

Hi y’all! I’m subscribed to the “Garfield” community out of lemmy.world. However, I recently noticed that it hasn’t been federating to piefed. i.e. if I look at the following on a private tab on a web browser, the piefed version is missing the last month’s worth of posts:

So if I’ve selected two languages in my settings, if I see language outside those selections can I assume that is because their language settings aren’t set properly or have I stuffed up a setting?

I want to start with I’m very impressed by the new 1.3.0 update, and congratulations to everyone who put in the work to make that happen.

I’ve been experiencing an issue when I am browsing the site on my phone (android) when viewing comments on a post the navigation bar at the bottom will detach and float up a bit. When I am browsing posts this doesn’t happen. Its a bit cumbersome as thats where I scroll up and down. Can the navigation bar stay at the bottom of the screen? This is a recent issue and hasn’t always been like this for me. Screenshot below:

My home instance is down so I figured I’d make a piefed account since I recall them defederating from the tankie triad. This doesn’t seem to be the case any more? Any suggestions for such instances?

I think I understand how to post from mastodon but pixelfed just brought in all the text as one huge, run-on title, including hashtags, etc.

Edit: I created an issue for this if anyone is curious

Hello!

The ones I set up a few days ago have worked but I’ve tried today and they don’t. Any ideas? I’ve tried rebooting

the search communities page, with local/other as 1 filter, & subscribed/not-subscribed as the other filter ( other options, don’t remember ‘em )..

The change does make perfect sense to me for mobile users, but I find it cumbersome and annoying when viewing via desktop. I.e., thumbnails are a thing for good reasons.

I want to mark some of my posts in !banpitbulls@lemmy.ca as “video”. Should I use tags and should I use flairs?

Any specific function?

Came to PieFed.social from Lemm.ee about a month ago. Currently only using PieFed on my desktop because my brief Android client search gave me a non-working app.

Hi y’all, I use the default web UI (desktop and in Android on my phone) when accessing piefed.social and when I create posts, 99% are the Link type. I would love to find a way to make that my default type of post if there’s any way.

I would assume that when I choose “Active” as my front page sorting, I would not see so many posts with no comments. What am I not understanding correctly?

Hi,

Hi folks,
