I took it for a spin the other day. I was disappointed to find that despite it being very lightweight in terms of client requirements (great!) it is extremely slow. I surmise that every page load is making requests to the Mastodon API on your mastodon instance (like a client app would, except this one is running on a server…) rather than caching anything locally. This kinda nullifies the benefits of being a ‘lightweight client’ in the first place - the UX is getting nerfed for no gain in speed.

Still I appreciate the no-JS ideal and the extreme compatibility and am looking forward to seeing where this project goes.

This is good because now they can breed them with even flatter faces than before.

Federation is pretty weird stuff at first, it’ll take a few days for it to click.

I’ve fixed the email system now. It was broken after a server move recently.

Sorry for my dismissive response earlier.

Yes so you want me to do things for you, for free. That’s fine, I enjoy this stuff. But set your expectations and demands accordingly.

Pay me

When an application is denied, we don’t tell you.

Don’t use a VPN and don’t use a throwaway email to increase your chances of acceptance.

Never deleting anything is how you end up like lemmy.sdf.org which effectively deletes everything.

Use services with sensible storage management functionality of you want to avoid your stuff being deleted.

In tropical countries I carry an umbrella everywhere. It’s much better than a hat because it has more airflow and provides more shade.

You helped by finding a completely different bug :)

Try now :)

Fixed, thank you :)

PieFed only stores 90 days of read post history.

Now that we have had that feature running for a long time I can see how much space is used by this (430 MB) and I think it’s fine to increase this to 180 days.

I’ve also added an admin option at /admin/misc which will let you increase it to any value. If you want to keep read history ‘forever’ than just put a really big value in there. On a single user instance the amount of data used by this table will probably be much smaller than it is on piefed.social.

I expect that was a transient network issue that won’t happen next time you comment.

There may be deleted posts that were downvoted heavily.

Also post upvotes in some communities don’t increase reputation while downvotes in those communities still decrease it (reply upvotes work normally).

They’re too long. The maximum is 22 characters and yours are 25.

I can’t remember why that limit was chosen but I expect it was to avoid things stretching and overlapping in the UI, especially on small screens.

I’ve rolled back some changes from today that I suspect are related.

This was fixed earlier today, please ask your admin to upgrade.

Fixed!
