Finding communities to join can be hard because each fediverse server only knows about a community after someone has joined it before. It’s a chicken and egg problem. To solve this, PieFed comes with eggs included!
Techy details: a local copy of https://data.lemmyverse.net/data/community.full.json is regularly updated, inactive and nsfw communities removed and then the resulting shortlist is used to suggest search results to people when adding a remote community.
Check out the video for a quick demo.
Massive props to @[email protected] for their work on this feature!
That’s such a missing feature of Lemmy right now!
Yeah, with feed Piefed progress steadly. I really hope we will open a Piefed instance for jlai.lu very soon.
Btw, i guess you already read it, i created some francophone feeds (peertube+news). You may want to improve them. Or even write some part in Python… :)
I think I missed that (I am trying to go on a light social network diet these days). Do you have a link?
Noted, that’s a good ideas to do a social network diet. I should do the same, but not right now. 😔
Feeds are multi-communities. We can group several communities from almost any fediverse instances into one place (peertube, mbin, lemmy).
You can create private one for yourself or share them publicy. You can copy them. Later invite new people.
I think you can join Piefed dev team or suggest some ideas. Maybe you are busy and it is not the right time. But you are welcome. :)
Let’s go back to Feed. I can’t find the post about it.
But you can check them yourself, there are several one, i prepared them for jlai.lu 😊
Ah yes, those I remember! That’s what made me look into piefed again recently actually!
CErtainly not before June :-( I am in too many projects and they start all showing cracks because I lack discipline. You won’t make me fall for a new one! ;-) (yet)
Then takes it slow, and focus on what you have to do. :)
