I've noticed that, on feddit.online, some communities have posts pinned that are not pinned on the original server. I'm assuming that the "unpin" notification didn't make it to this server.

What would be a good way of handling that? Should we just post here asking for those to be unpinned? Can we become a moderator with very limited abilities, only having the ability to remove a pin? It only seems to happen once every few months, so it's not that big of a problem.

Ones that I just noticed today in https://feddit.online/c/comicbooks@lemmy.world:

• There is one pin from today, which should be there
• Another pin from five months ago (https://feddit.online/post/357305) should be removed
• The third one from nine months ago (https://feddit.online/post/29130) should also be removed

When creating this post, I have a bunch of markdown options, but when I reply to someone, or comment on a post, I only have a text box available.

Should I be able to put images in there somehow? Or is that functionality not available in Piefed?

Let me know if there is a better spot for me to ask this! I tried searching, but couldn't find anything already addressing it

Proofpoint finally removed our email server IP address from their blacklist, so those with icloud.com email addresses, for one, should be able to receive emails from this server now.

Since turning on this instance, email going out under the feddit.online domain has been a nightmare experience.

• iCloud won't accept the email what-so-ever. Just refuses to talk to the email server.
• Gmail gives it a 0 spam score (perfectly ok)
• ProtonMail says it's OK
• Runbox.com sends it to the spam folder
• Hover.com says it is mildly spam likely
• An email provider in NZ gave it a super high spam score

This means that every email provider pulls the rules out of their butts, clearly not using any data, or else there would be a much closer consensus.

A common claim from those that called it spam, or likely spam, is that the .online TLD is likely spam. This is crazy. Most of my spam comes from .com domains, which they say are fine.

iCloud was the dealbreaker.

Going forward, all email will come from feddit-online-email.com. I don't know how icloud will handle it, but since it is being accepted more by the other email providers I've tried, I'm hopeful. I'm still using my own email server, hoping this isn't a problem for iCloud.

If you have an icloud email address , can you try opening a private browser window and running this URL and telling me if you get the email? https://feddit.online/test_email?email= [enter your email address here>]

Thanks!

I like the new icon (to be honest, I can’t really see it, but from what I can see it looks nice). Who drew it?

Forgive me if this has been covered elsewhere, but I couldn't find info on new user restrictions or time limits, so I thought I'd ask here.

I noticed my comments always show 1-upvote, even after some time passes. Is this a new-user restriction, or are votes being cast but not displayed? Personally, I don't care about points, but I use votes as feedback to gauge whether my contributions are relevant. I also noticed fewer replies to my comments than I'd expect, given my experience on the previous instance. Is this a visibility thing for new accounts, or just coincidence? I'm here to chat, so I'd love to hear from others!

Thanks for running this instance. I know it's not easy to run or mod. I hope this can help other newcomers, as well!

I made this post on piefed.social and was told one of the things I'm looking for could be here, so would there be any problem if I create a community here where only content in spanish is allowed?

I know this can't be definitively answered with certainty (heck, maybe the IT dept just doesn't like feddit lol), I was moreso just curious to know if a bored wizard had any clarifying explanation on the matter.

If context/details are helpful (not doxxing myself obvs) I work for a fortune 100 corpo logistics company based in Pittsburg that is def not UPS or DHL lol

I'm so puzzled by what is and isn't blocked at my work. Youtube = fine ; chess.com = risk and blocked b/c game
piefed = fine ; feddit.online = risk and blocked because PUP potential ; reddit = fine

Is our IT terrible or is this the case for most corpos that cheap out on such things?

Seems as if the greentext community was mistakenly placed into the Environment topic due to the term "green" being in the community name.

"Green text" refers to the colour of text in 4chan posts that's used when users are telling stories that supposedly happened to them, often being comedic in nature. It would most likely instead fall under the Humour and Comics topic.
