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.
Another reason is to avoid the Reddit problem of people upvoting of off-topic posts by people who don’t pay attention to what community it’s posted in. I don’t think Piefed/Lemmy/etc. has those kind of users (yet) but it’s good future-proofing.
Currently the most popular suggestion is to have a "upvote this post and all it’s cross posts” function, which would make that problem worse…
Yeah I dunno, that suggestion seems like it would defeat the entire purpose of having separate communities in the first place.
Yeah, I’m not sure why people want that. In all honestly I wouldn’t implement it if it were me, but if you do I suggest restricting it to communities with the same topic, or maybe even restricting it to communities with the exact same name.
There often are multiple communities for the same thing. Rust for example. The result is that in some interest fields posts are often cross-posted to a bunch of same communities. With Piefed displaying all comments from all cross-posts, there is little need to switch between communities. But if the post is good, I feel it should receive a vote not only in the community that just happened to be on top of the feed
