Famous last words

Welcome to all those new to piefed. Hope everyone enjoys their stay.
Thank you for this information. Much appreciated! Notice it is a lively community here, which is great to contribute to. Onwards and upwards. Let’s goooo

Hello,

I noticed your posts on [email protected] , thank you for those!

Neat ! What’s the reason for the influx of new users?
Over the last week a hand full of posts have hit over ~450,000 views together.
Wow, I didn’t know there is a South Africa instance!

It didn’t exist until last week.

I’ll move the South African sub to it once eventually

Welcome new Users!!

PS. If you’re looking for a good mobile app, Voyager works the best for me: https://getvoyager.app

They’re all full of micro-plastics personally I’d stay away
I assume this was posted because there’s an expected influx of new users? First, welcome! Second, I’m OOL. What’d Reddit do this time?
Nothing. Just some very successful promotions on r/buyfromeu and a canadian subreddit.

Ah right! My reflex is to assume they’ve done something unspeakable!

In your defense, I bet if we dig for a few moments we’ll find something horrible that they’ve done that has somehow caused this. Reddit simply cannot leave well enough alone:-).
Reddit has turned into a cesspool of censorship and corporate/government astroturfing and sock-puppetry, I blocked the entire domain in my hosts file years ago.

Unfortunately it’s where people post things, and I’ve already cut out Facebook, Threads, Xhitter, Insta, whatever, so if I need to find information about something happening, that’s pretty much the only place left for me to look (nowadays when there’s only like 7 websites in the entire world).

Whether I go once per month or per day during high activity timeframes, it’s where some content is. And sometimes not even then: irl, the entirety of Reddit is considered a niche habitat for nerds. So if you want to know a specific thing - like a schedule for a local park, you pretty much have to use whatever they chose to post their content to, or else go without.

Rather go without than consume corporate fascist (but I repeat myself) crap.
Apparently there’s been some bans over Epstein files shit too.
is there any thread that share Bandcamp redeem code? I am new here to btw :-)
Is there a RES equivalent for this? I’d like non-ending scroll and to disable user hover popup 😬

If you are using the web UI, then you can disable the user popups by popping this bit of css in the Additional CSS field of your user settings:

.user_preview { display: none; }

As for infinite scroll, that isn’t a feature of the native web UI. There are some alternative UIs that support PieFed, and I don’t know all the features they have, so you might find that in those. Two that I know of:

Login

Federated, open‑source, ad‑free, and fully under your control. Build or join a community that reflects your values with no corporate overlords. This instance is run by the founder of PieFed. [Mobile apps for PieFed](https://piefed.social/post/1258559)

Blorp dev here. Trying to support all PieFed features but I’m a little behind:

Currently working on:

  • PieFed feeds (basically the same as Lemmy v1 multi community support)

Up next:

  • Emoji reactions
  • Create poll posts
  • Create event posts

The PieFed devs are very fast and a little hard to keep up with 😅. But tbh, we already support more than enough of the PieFed api for you to have a great time imo. Please reach out to me if a specific one of those missing features is preventing you from joining.

Greetings from Lemmy.
