Pretty cool update, the emoji reacts are fun and I can see how marking as answer would be useful!

Impressive list, thank you to everyone involved!

Hide an individual post from yourself, without blocking the author.

Wooowwwww. Sweet! Thank you

Vastly improve docs for new developers

If there are any curious folks out there that have a familiarity with python, I am the one that authored the new docs for developers interested in contributing to PieFed. Additionally, one of the guides I wrote is about theming PieFed in case any of you css wizards out there want to tweak the styling at all.

Feel free to reach out if anything doesn't make sense!

as a bullet list

What's new

• Posts & communities can be labelled as AI-generated and people can choose to hide all posts tagged that way. Very similar to how NSFW works.

• React to posts and comments with an emoji.
• Hide an individual post from yourself, without blocking the author.

• Honeypot to automatically IP ban badly-behaved crawlers.
• https://lemmy-federate.com/ integration, making PieFed communities get more exposure.

PieFed v1.4.0 is free and open source. Nice, my instance is already up to date.

Thank you so much!

Lots of cool features and improvements!

I will need to add a monthly donation thing from next month. I have several organizations that I support on Patreon, but I am curious about LibrePay (really hoping they are not based in the US).

Amazing work! Thank you for all of the effort that was put into this!

ohh I need to update my yunohost!

Woah, that's a huge update! Thanks for all of hard work you all have put into piefed :)

Hopefully the emoji reactions will help with upvote/down vote regulation so we can use emojis for disagreement and up/down vote for good/bad post.

Awesome work, much appreciated!

@rimu@piefed.social how are the emoji reactions federated? Just as a Like with a summary property or something like that, where the emoji is saved? (I think misskey does it that way)

Amazing work thanks.

The ability to crosspost text posts in 1.5? 🥺👉👈 https://codeberg.org/rimu/pyfedi/issues/996

Is it possible to turn off the lemmy-federate integration? Or better keep it disabled by default?

This tool has a lot of unintended bad side effects, both culturally and technically in regards to horizontal scaleability of the federation that I think it does more harm than good.
