I've deployed piefed.social on a Raspberry Pi and made it public using a Cloudflare Tunnel. Now I'd like to add a Zulip chat instance and, if possible, share login credentials between the two services like the main instance does.

So, I used to vote on posts constantly—not really to give karma, but as a quick way to mark them as read to get them out of my feed. It was perfect: a single click, much faster than actually opening the post. But now with the new voting quota in place, I can't do that anymore without hitting the limit. According to discussions on the instance, the quota was implemented to limit voting activity, and it's already affecting users who vote frequently.

The "Hide posts I've interacted with" setting is still there, but it relies on that interaction happening . What am I supposed to do now? Opening each post to mark it as read is significantly slower. Is there another way to mark posts as read in bulk that I'm missing, or is this just how it's going to be now?

I was thinking about moderation in PieFed after reading @rimu@piefed.social mention he doesn’t want NSFW content because it creates more work to moderate. But if done right, moderation shouldn’t fall heavily on admins at all.

One of the biggest flaws of Reddit is the imbalance between users and moderators—it leads to endless reliance on automods, AI filters, and the usual complaints about power-mods. Most federated platforms just copy that model instead of proven alternatives like Discourse’s trust level system.

On Discourse, moderation power gets distributed across active, trusted users. You don’t see the same tension between "users vs. mods," and it scales much better without requiring admins to constantly police content. That sort of system feels like a much healthier direction for PieFed.

Implementing this system could involve establishing trust levels based on user engagement within each community. Users could earn these trust levels by spending time reading discussions. This could either be community-specific—allowing users to build trust in different communities—or instance-wide, giving a broader trust recognition based on overall activity across the instance. However, if not executed carefully, this could lead to issues such as overmoderation similar to Stack Overflow, where genuine contributions may be stifled, or it might encourage karma farming akin to Reddit, where users attempt to game the system using bots to repost popular content repeatedly.

Please answer with a single option per comment without duplicating and upvote the topics you've seen active.

I've discovered the keyword filter and I want to know what's out there. Although I doubt the filter will work in topics I at least can try and figure out some keywords usually used in those communities.

The polls don't allow users to add their own options so I had to do it this way.

I'm super impressed by the features I'm discovering using Piefed! I'm going to be experimenting a lot with the keyword filter particularly. Here are some ideas we might add to make Piefed even better. Share you own in the replies.

Some of these options where too long to make it a poll.
