I am also ‘Andrew’, the admin of this server. I’ll try to remember to only use this account for posting stuff.
I go there for the post-episode TV discussions (though I don’t log in). It can interesting to read people’s theories for something like Severance, although the whole experience can end up being depressing (because of mod shenanigans, the over-use of spoiler syntax, and the dissonance / over-reaction created when some show that the hive-mind has already determined is the best thing ever has a duff episode)
Wordpress if that is counted as federated
It’s an option for the blog owners to select, but it’s more federated than Loops (which currently isn’t federated at all). As a random example, here is a Wordpress blog post that was federated out to Mastodon, and then federated out to PieFed.
Do all filters have that 3 level system?
Yes - that Trump/Musk form is just a shortcut to setting up your own filter - the options on that form equate to ‘hide completely’, ‘make semi-transparent’ (so you can see the post, but it’s faded out), or “don’t set up a filter”
Also, do you know of an alternative front-end for Piefed?
There’s the one I made (the one linked to by OpenStars), but I think the more promising development is that the Interstellar dev has made some progress supporting PieFed too (Interstellar is already the only app that supports both MBIN and Lemmy, and I like the idea of one app for 3 different platforms).
As a term, ‘instance’ is already baked into code, databases, and APIs.
If I wanted to use an API to block ‘lemmy.world’, for example, I’d call ‘site/block’ with the relevant ‘instance_id’. That’s already 2 different terms for the same thing (‘site’ and ‘instance’), which isn’t great, but adding ‘provider’ into the mix means you’re now saying “if you want to block a ‘provider’, use the ‘site’ endpoint with the ID for the ‘instance’”, which is arguably worse.
Ah, no. Sadly not. It installed okay, but just presents a big white window when I ran it. The OS version is BigSur (the highest that machine will run).
I doubt it’s an Issue you’ll need to prioritise, 'cos others in my position have likely just installed Linux instead.
Looks great! Is there any info about what architecture / OS versions are supported for Mac? The only Apple hardware I have is a 12 year old MacBook Air (I realise I could just download it and find out, but that would involve me getting up off the sofa). Thanks.
For stuff about films, I like ‘Thomas Flight’ and ‘Like Stories Of Old’. LSOO has just released a video about Gladiator II that I’m going to watch in a bit (I’m hoping he hated it as much as I did!)
No. The app was forked from a Lemmy app (Thunder), so there’s not much PieFed-specific in it (e.g. there’s also no support for Polls). The exception is that it supports post / comment subscribing (I was notified of your comment, even though I’m not the OP of this post).
I created a new instance for testing the app, and I didn’t create any Topics (partly laziness, partly because the whole area is being re-evaluated for user-created Topics, aka Feeds).
The app will lag behind the site in features, 'cos adding stuff for direct HTML rendering will always be easier than adding stuff that’s got to come through an API.
There’s a Lemmy community at [email protected] (although I’ve found that chatting about TV is harder than it looks).
