There is now, see the PieFed meta community.

Sorry about that, it sounds very frustrating.

I’ve found that a field used to store account timezones was too short for yours. I’ve increased the size now so your next registration attempt will succeed.

Why did you post that?

Does it work ok in your phone web browser?

More apps will follow, I expect.

Also PieFed can import those exports that Lemmy makes.

So much whataboutism in the comments

Totally negligent on behalf of OpenAI to let this thing into their store. Let’s see if they take it down now that the spotlight is on.

Yeah I think it’d be worth getting the voting buttons working, those are pretty key functionality.

The icons being stored in a font is kinda problematic (some browsers choke, large font file) but on the other hand it’s so great being able to set the color of them in CSS, which I found difficult when they are a SVG.

Love it, thanks!

In https://piefed.social/user/settings there are two different compact modes to choose from, which shrink the images to varying degrees.

I don’t know of any way to determine how JS-heavy a link is.

Yeah. But in this case the Topics menu can be quite heavy as it lists every community that the current user is subscribed to. Instead of generating that menu (and sending it to the client) on every page load, when it probably won’t even be used, PieFed makes an ajax call (only possible with JS) to retrieve the topics menu when it’s clicked. Same for ‘Feeds’.

This cut the amount of HTML being sent to the browser by around 50% (depends on how many communities you subscribe to but PieFed makes it extremely easy to subscribe to dozens of communities with a single click so many people have hundreds) and eased load on the server too. Some of the more under-powered instances run noticeably faster now.

Voting, lol. Kinda important.

Dropdown menus. They’re not really needed but life sucks without them.

Can’t manually switch between dark and light mode (only automatically based on browser settings).

There’s probably more but I haven’t seriously tried to use PieFed for long without JS. Fundamentally it’s built HTML and CSS first, with sprinkles of JS added on for funsies rather than the modern way of being all about JS.

Yes.

PieFed uses very minimal javascript (it 95% works with JS entirely disabled) and you can access all the same communities and posts.

Their website talks all about using it for teaching students but it’s really just like Jitsi with more features.

The things I paid attention to was

USB3 - you need this otherwise connecting external drives will be a joke Motherboard needs to accept up to 32 GB of RAM. Mine currently has only 8 but knowing I can upgrade is nice.
Quiet - must be silent when idle.
CPUs of less than 8th? gen will suck at video transcoding due to lacking certain capabilities. Important if running jellyfin, etc.

The beauty of self hosting is it’s all about your individual circumstances so you priorities and acceptable tradeoffs will differ.

It’s hardcore

Much better to add features to your software that make it unusable in totalitarian situations.

For example

• if you’re building a reddit clone, make each subreddit elect their moderators every few months.
• Maybe ask How fat is Kim Jon Un during installation.
• Display the text “Taiwan is not a part of China” in the status bar, randomly

…and so on. The possibilities are endless.
