In PieFed you can react to a post/comment with an emoji, which is shown with your name.

The honeypot is done!

Please add PieFed to the allowlist.

Seems like OP just copy and pasted some perplexity.ai output.

Very interesting, thanks.

Good idea, I’ll add something similar to PieFed.

I’m surprised this is not more popular.

It’s not live on piefed.ca yet :)

The only part of the url that actually does anything is p/1385905 which functions the same way piefed.social/post/1385905 does. So that /c/politics bit has no effect on which post is displayed and it could be any string of gibberish. There are communities called ‘politics’ on many instances and this url scheme doesn’t differentiate between them, but I’m ok with that.

I have removed the @ now, perhaps that’ll make it easier for you.

Ok we’re now generating links like this instead https://piefed.social/c/politics/p/1385905/will-the-supreme-court-hand-government-contractors-blanket-immunity

Oh, interesting. I think having a ‘@’ in the url is going to be a problem for a lot of different software. I’ll remove that part.

Can you see this? https://piefed.social/c/lemmy@lemmy.ml/p/1384152/piefed-finally-fixes-lemmys-ugly-post-urls

I’ll try returning a 301. Thanks!

Lemmy will fulfill the search requests on behalf of other servers

Yep so does PieFed but Lemmy doesn’t accept it for some reason.

IMO framing this as a way to protect the feelings of the poster sets us up to debate how people should react to downvotes. That was my initial reaction, anyway. It’s not a productive discussion, too much judgement.

But there are heaps of other good reasons why you might want to just show a single number (upvotes minus downvotes), for everyone, not just when viewing one’s own content.

• cleaner, less cluttered UI
• simpler code?
• people don’t need to know how many downvotes a comment got (their own comments OR other people’s), all that really matters is the aggregate score

Reddit and PieFed both just show one number - the score - and it works fine. On PieFed you can hover your mouse over the score to get a tooltip that breaks it down into up and down but afaik no one cares.

If other people can see that I got downvoted a lot but I can’t then every little snarky comment about how many downvotes I’m getting is going to trigger extreme FOMO and the urge to turn the downvote hiding feature off. An unknown amount of downvotes is worse than knowing how many downvotes there are.

You want to be more welcoming to the people who freak out about downvotes? The people for whom the slightest criticism is a huge problem?

Try !lemmy_support@lemmy.ml and the matrix channel mentioned there.

There are not as many sysadmin job these days because so many on-prem deployments have moved to the cloud. Consider becoming a cloud version of a sysadmin (whatever they’re calling it now…). Every platform offers lots of free learning resources and has a certification process.

While both Lemmy and Mastodon use ActivityPub, the way they send ActivityPub messages to each other differs quite a bit. There is not a simple or quick solution to this. However recently I read about Lemmy having improved integration with https://a.gup.pe/, a service that adds Groups support to Mastodon so that might be something you want to try out.

Mastodon having so many users makes it a tempting target for integration but federation with software that uses Groups properly (e.g. PeerTube, Friendica) is likely to be easier to achieve.
