I am an admin, so I can still see the account, but it is flagged as having been deleted. Also, if you try to load up the OP's profile on their home instance, it 404's.
I am coming in late, but that post and the user that made the post were deleted. That is why you aren't able to access it any longer.
There's also a Techcrunch article that had this bit of insight:
It also shows that consumer-facing AI products are really hard to scale and monetize. Character.AI was one of the top apps in terms of time spent, according to analytics firm Sensor Tower. But high engagement can be a double-edged sword; AI costs rise the more people use the app, which consequently also increases the pressure to monetize users.
I don't think the people in this thread or others like it are correct in blaming this on PieFed. I just tried to replicate this issue on several different PieFed instances and everything worked as expected. Plus, the other two posts I see about this issue both were made by users from Lemmy instances (slrpnk and db0).
Here is what I tested and everything worked fine:
- Voyager version: 2.49.1
- Android version: 17
Instances tried
| Instance | PieFed Version | Status |
|---|---|---|
| piefed.social | 1.7.17 | ✅ Works |
| piefed.ca | 1.7.13 | ✅ Works |
| crust.piefed.social | 1.8.0-dev | ✅ Works |
| quokk.au | PyLova 0.3.3 (PieFed fork) | ✅ Works |
Yeah, looks like this was an oversight on the API side of the code. I just submitted a PR to fix it.
Just made a PR for it here.
That might be correct actually. Looks like the posts are filtered for language in the web UI here, but I can't find where the corresponding filtering happens for the /post/list endpoint.
Hey, I wrote that guide! I'll try to help simplify it a bit.
tl;dr of creating a basic theme is that all your css changes live in a styles.css file inside your theme's folder.
Here is what you actually need to do to create a theme:
First, you will need some way to experiment with css yourself to create your theme. That can either be running a development instance where you do your work (relevant guide), or it can be something like running a browser extension that lets you define a custom css to a web page (like stylus that was mentioned in the theming guide).
The actual process of defining what your css should be is kind of tedious. If there is an element on the web page you want to apply styling to, you can right click -> inspect on that element to see the page source for it. That can help inform you about any css classes or an id that might be present on that element to help you write your css selectors. If there is an element where a custom css class would be really helpful, you can either add it yourself if you are going the full local development route by editing the relevant jinja template, or you can ask in the PieFed matrix room for it to get added to the source by somebody else to make your life easier.
I am not really a css expert by any means, but you can reference the css changes that other themes make by browsing the different themes and looking at their styles.css files (link to themes folder).
Once you have a file with all the css changes you want for your theme, the next step would be to get your theme added to the source code. That is where you would reach out to rimu and pass your css to him. He would likely do a QC pass on it before adding it to the main project.
Then, when the next version of PieFed is released and is live, your theme is now part of the project and should be select-able as a community theme! Well done!
I use httpie to do local API testing. I find it super easy, I don't need to make any kind of account (like postman really, really wants you to), and it doesn't have any issues with using a local http endpoint.
Ask and ye shall receive. Done.
You are using piefed, so in the web ui you can click the three dot menu and select the remind me option. This isn't in the api though, so it wouldn't be in a third-party app unless they implemented it separately.
Nothing to do with federation. piefed.zip decided not to make their modlog public. It's an admin setting within piefed. IIRC, it isn't an option in lemmy.
1Hi !animation@piefed.social! I mostly lurk this community, but I am the moderator of !anime@ani.social and thought that the ongoing yearly anime awards I run might be of interest to this community as well (feel free to remove if not). Voting will close in about 48 hours or so. It's really easy to vote:
- Send a message to @kurisu@ani.social with the contents
!ballot - Kurisu will send you a ballot via private message (she checks every 5 minutes). Simply follow the directions in the message she sends back to you to fill it out.
- Submit your ballot back to her to have your vote counted! She will send you a confirmation message that she received your votes.
For more information and an FAQ, see the original thread that is stickied in !anime@ani.social.

(media.piefed.social)
Here is the full series available to read on Mangadex (under a CC license), and direct link to Chapter 1 (of 16).
If you had never heard of this series before, Ubunchu! was published in the Official Ubuntu Magazine Japan periodically between the years of 2008-2013 (with some digital extras afterwards found in chapter 16 on mangadex). The series was released using a CC license and subsequent translations are also CC (plus the translators have directly communicated with the original author).
Chapters 1-8 were translated years ago, but the final chapter was only translated just a couple days ago.
Due to when it was written and published, it is a bit of a time capsule. You can relive some of the formative linux and Ubuntu events of the 21st century such as:
Unity Desktop
The rise of linux mint
OpenOffice & LibreOffice
Ubuntu Touch
