I've been considering making the move to Piefed for a while, but I suppose there are a few things that I haven't been able to find that I was wondering about.

Is there a good latex ocr model that I can run with Ollama?

Sometimes I write a comment on a post that is relatively new. Often, in such cases, I am interested in what others comment. Having a checkbox to get notified of other comments (effectively clicking the bell button via the action of commenting) would be handy

#Endof10 - Joseph / #LinuxHelden

I mean, we got Kbin, Lemmy, PieFed, NodeBB, stuff like that. What else do they have on the fediverse that's like that?

why is unzipping on android so slow compared to Windows? I've tried ZipXtract, MaterialFile... All took 10+minutes to unizip a zip file that only took 30 seconds to unzip on Windows.

How can I Exclude domain and 192.168.... from bitmask vpn? Thanks a lot!

I'm trying to connect to smb on synology nas using material files - add storage > SMB server > add manually > - Hostname: wwddiyt.synology.me - Port: 445 - Path: blank - Username: Username - Password: Password - Domain: blank

Inspired by this post by Ed Zitron on Bluesky, I wondered if Oracle would file for bankruptcy in the future, whether due to poor decisions, millions in losses in sectors that failed to meet their targets, the loss of lawsuits filed by users and/or customers, or other reasons.

If one day I want to work in place that share my distrust to cetralized tech monopolies, where should I be? How to build my connections?

I’m not totally sure if this is a Piefed issue or a Blahaj server issue, so sorry if it’s the wrong spot for this.

Problem

Tl;dr: I think we have too much "empty" content and noise here and it drags down the place for 2 years now. Does PieFed include an approach to change the situation?

The Problem with the FediverseI have no issues with the way it is implemented, I have no issues with it at all. For context, I left Twitter to join the Fedi, and it has been great so far! I use Misskey for microblogging, PeerTube for uploading videos, and Lemmy for Reddit-style discussions. The Fediverse is amazing!Except, idk, for the fact that it is too fragmented? I hope I am using the right words. Like, the current instance I am on does not have support for communities, so i have to do it the hard way and mention @fediverse@lemmy.world so that I can post here. It's a good workaround, considering it doesn't have built-in support for communities. But my point still stands. It's not a Lemmy/PieFed problem. It's mostly a fediverse problem. Implementing communities for every platform would help the Fediverse. Not only does it solve discoverability/algorithm issues of the Fediverse (since now when you follow a community, you get all posts from that community), but also it would interconnect every platform (Misskey, PeerTube, Mastodon, etc.) Imagine you don't have to use your Lemmy account to check everything on Lemmy. Instead of creating channels in PeerTube, just post to an existing channel/community, and people subscribed to that channel/community can find you easily. I see this as an absolute win for everyone.I understand this would require collaboration between all developers of all software. But hopefully, this is possible?Or am I asking for too much?If I am wrong, then is there any way in which we can solve this issue?#fediverse #problems #fediverseproblems

Since https://piefed.social/f/rpggames seems to be mostly about computer games, I created a bunch of feeds for TTRPG

Greetings to you all!

I'm having trouble understanding the options under settings > DATA should I change reddit source to Teddit? Or should I configure redirect manually in Privacy enhancer?

I thought Activity Pub enables you to connect to all Federated servers. Why am I having difficulty subscribing to Mastodon feeds?

Hi all.

Let's say: - I am on instance A. - I browse on a community that is on instance B - a user from instance C post something on that community B.

I'm genuinely interested in people thoughts about the Fediverse because here in the UK it has massively stalled in 2025, like a lot of things. I am seeing way less posts from UK people and way less interaction and general use in fact. Most seem to have stopped social media use to be fair, and I know a lot of that is to do with my age (old fart here, 56 laps round sun and counting) but the numbers game look poor from my point of view. Do we think the Fediverse has a future now after useage appears to be going downwards? Is it a UK thing? (well I know the UK is weird but hey)

can I send a PM to someone on mastodon, public or private?

Call it something like greentext or confessions or something. Anyone posting is automatically set to Anonymous with no link whatsoever to the original account for admin or users to track or in the logs/activity pub etc. Like the person will not get replies, notifications on their account for the post, or the ability to reply as Anon. Simply streamline creation of a throw away account using the existing credentials of an existing account for post access and to give automod a chance to act. Maybe bar new accounts or below a certain threshold of engagement.

The Fediverse Passport would be the central account for all users on the Fediverse.

In a recent discussion it was mentioned that the search function in Lemmy is awkward to use and could be improved. As a result I already made two small changes: - Change community selector to use !community@example.com format (#3218) - Search field in community sidebar (#3217)

Title. Can't figure out how to crosspost anything in Piefed.

I started to notice that my posts get no interactions at all and that a lot of communities seem to be empty. At first I thought that it's just the effect of Lemme. ee shutting down, but after checking some of the communities from my current alt account I started to notice that .Dev does not pull the latest posts and does not federate my posts.

You can still see lemm.ee for example on search results since the metadata was saved by it, you can see a snippet and the topic title but of course upon clicking you will hit a dead end since its been shutdown.

Hi, is there any way to have a whatsapp work on a rooted phone (Pixel 7a) with something like frost is to Facebook?

i'm currently using tesseract to view and post things, i've also heard of photon. are there any else?

Summit developer is polling if the post below under their community if it gets to 200 upvotes before next major release

website is up, you can see a handful of posts but you cannot login and mostly just errors out.

Example, Lemmy.ml and Lemmy.world have duplicate communities aren't connected at all. So we are artificially isolating groups more and making it confusing for would be converts.

Should I enable WIFI scanning / Bluetooth scanning / Network Location under setting->location->location services?

I'm not at all an expert with open source licensing, but does the following conflict with open source licensing ?

What is the difference between lawnchair Layout Default vs Dock (Beta)?

Votes are no longer using an alt profile so instead you now have the choice of federating your votes or not. Please go to https://piefed.social/user/settings and see the 'Federate votes' checkbox. It should be showing the opposite of what you had for the 'Vote privately' checkbox that was there before, however the behavior and tradeoffs are really quite different so you might want to revisit that decision.

Hello people of fedi,

A way for people to screen out AI generated content, similar how people can screen out nsfw content already.

Hi y'all,

I am posting images daily to some communities. With the months I'm loosing track of what was already posted by me and others. So does someone know a service (preferably a website) where I can input a image or link and see in which communities and when it was posted?

I want to build an app, in which you can subscribe or follow profiles or feeds from multiple platforms, including various fediverse platforms (lemmy, Mastodon, Friendica, etc), blogs, and others (no idea what else yet).

Edit: Wow! Literally few days after posting, there are already several open PR and quite a few great suggestions. Huge thanks to all of you, the FOSS community really rocks!

I'm trying to download apps from fdroid, and it's saying that f droid is failing to connect. Any clue what could be the issue ?

This license has the peculiarity that any software implementation requires you to offer the source code, even if you only plan to use it privately. This makes it a stronger license than the AGPL in terms of copyleft. If the AGPL already scares away almost all companies, the SOWPL scares away almost everyone.

Hi guys!
