I recently asked for some PeerTube recommendation and it made me realize how disjointed the URL system can seem to the median, not technically-inclined, not-motivated, user.

Hi guys! How would you sync bookmarks across multiple devices? I have a secondary old phone for the only purpose of motorcycle navigation. Usually I'd make my edits on the normal daily driver and i just grab the one for navigation on the last minute. Any idea how to get the other phone to quickly sync all updated bookmarks etc?

Given the US recently made a bid to fast-track multiple censorship bills, KOSA included, and is also trying to kill Section 230 now, which will pose an existential threat to Fediverse instances hosted over the clearnet, how feasible would it be to host said instances over Tor/I2P?

In the monthly server updates for lemmy.zip/piefed.zip there's a mantra that's repeated every month. I think it's wonderful and can be applied to the Fediverse as a whole.

I am scheduling posts that include an image from my phone. Some are scheduled for a week or more away. Do I have to keep the image on my phone until after it goes live, or are the images immediately uploaded to the server when I schedule it? Basically, if I delete the image from my phone before the scheduled time, will the image be there or will it be the error box?

I just tested the newest install of piefed on a small family server. Its a bit heavy on the CPU side, but its working!

I have seen some critical views on Nostr as a part of decentralized network discussions, but most seem to be focused on culture not function.

Do they have any rule that says you need a minimum number of users on a site to fall under the law?

This weekend, meeting a lot of people, I noticed how hard it is for us to communicate and organize stuff. Some have Instagram, some have X, both are shitty places not designed for group conversation. Some have Discord, some have WhatsApp, some don't use the phone, some have no social media, and everything requires you to either provide an email or phone number, create an account, etc, so I thought maybe it would be easier to have something like an IRC room, but it's been more than 20 years since I last touched IRC and I'm sure there must be newer alternatives around.

Is there an Android keyboard where you control the sursor with the spacebar like on iOS?

Hello, I am a person who has only used thread based "social media" their whole life. I never liked platforms such as twitter and instagram and preferred aggregators like reddit, and nowadays, lemmy.

So, does anyone know of any good foss calendar that has better notifications than the stock google one?

Wafrn, a tumblr inspired federated social media that connects with fedi, lemmy and bluesky (optional)

I noticed Bonfire is getting a lot of positive attention lately, and I wanted to try it out. They don't have a directory of instances yet. Do you have any instances that you recommend.

Heyho, I would like to track how much I walk per day. Ideally via a FOSS app as I don't have any other device on me all the time. Is there anything good available?

Are there still federation issues with Lemmy.world? There's communities where I don't see posts from yesterday still.

If there's another place to find answers, do let me know. I went over the piefed feature page and did a couple searches already.

right now mbin microblogs still have to be under a magazine (/community) and I had to make a separate community to have all my personal microblogs in one spot like I would have had with mastodon posts to my own mastodon account. I'd like to be able to microblog just as a tab in my user profile that aren't directly associated to any magazine / community and are only associated to my account. If this was a feature I would definitely switch to piefed since mbin did not implement the stated function (at least imo).

First of all, thank you for the great service.

i just woke up, and this is a little test - i just got banned from !slop@hexbear.net, and i'm NOT even sure if this is the right community to post this on. does anyone know?

I tried updating, checking spam, resending, nothing ever sends me the email (using keemail.me (tutanota)).

It would be a nice option to be able to block a single post. Like the TIL bot just posted about a poor kid that was killed by a stupid nurse. I'd rather not see that. Things stupid people do kinda haunt me. I was physically disabled by an even more stupid person. It would be nice if I could avoid thinking about stuff like that. I'll probably browse past that post 3-4 times this evening.

I’ve just added a score parameter to the community RSS feeds so you can get a RSS feed of posts at or above that score. e.g. https://piefed.social/community/fediverse/feed?score=20

I asked something here earlier and it was removed without explanation

I recently made one of my best memes yet, but people on piefed/lemmy have hated it so far across multiple communities.

Cross posting from chesspuzzle community https://lemmy.ml/post/39878132

Will the multi-communities be able to handle communities from multiple instances?

I'm considering a smart watch for exercise with streaming music and heart monitor without my phone, but have no idea how they work. Do smart watches have their own app store? Is there an f-droid for them?

I noticed something about crossposts and I'm curious if anything should happen differently with a very minor aspect of it.

I think one of the issues with federated forums like Lemmy is that multiple communities of the same name can exist on different instances. I do think that overall that's a good thing, as it encourages the decentralized governance of communities, depending on the instance, but it also leads to a general fracturing, since you may only be subscribed to one of the many instances of a particular community, and need to subscribe to all of the ever growing list of communities with that name if you want to see all posts across the fediverse.

I became aware that YouTube is creating inaccurate AI descriptions on seemingly random videos after watching a recent video from Gamers Nexus. Do these descriptions appear if I use NewPipe or even FreeTube?

I’ve shared a few chess puzzle posts here recently, but I don’t want to clutter the community or derail chess-related discussions. If you enjoy solving chess puzzles, feel free to join the dedicated community: https://lemmy.ml/c/ChessPuzzles

Threads have been gaining traction recently and I’m actually enjoying the atmosphere there. However it’s clearly on a growth phase where they don’t show any ads or paid content. This obviously won’t last, so I’m wondering if there’s a platform which I could recommend?

On PieFed World v1.1.7-13-ge3e624cc, currently only Passkeys and OAuth authentication is supported in the settings. I'm not sure if Piefed Social latest v1.3.6 version supports TOPT 2FA or if this issue is only pertaining to Piefed World instance.

So I just read Bill Gates' 1976 Open Letter To Hobbyists, in which he whines about not making more money from his software. You know, instead of being proud of making software that people wanted to use. And then the bastard went on and made proprietary licences for software the industry standard, holding back innovation and freedom for decades. What a douche canoe.
