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.

    Hmm, that is an interesting idea…

    I might look into this one. Would something like voting buttons in the crosspost dropdown be an acceptable alternative? I think I would prefer to keep 1 action (click) means 1 vote, but making it easier to vote on crossposts makes sense with the way that piefed consolidates comments.

    So, voting buttons here maybe? (no promises, just an idea) -

      That would be pretty cool.

      Probably just upvote, though? Don’t want to encourage drive-by downvotes, really.

        I don’t think it is a good idea. Some things that are acceptable content in one community may not be in another. You may downvote something in a sub about political news but upvote it in a meme sub or in a nottheonion sub.

          I understand that this proposal is to have separate voting controls per cross-posted community, not automatically upvote all

            That’s a bit better but still, I don’t think it is a good idea : upcoming for 10 communities should be 10 different decision. Such a tool makes it impossible for a post to not be popular in small subs if it is in big ones

      That’s a fair point. I think in most cases I would want to be upvoting a post and all of its cross posts, but there are cases where I wouldn’t want to upvote it in other communities.

      For instance, a post that you like might get cross posted to something like c/facepalm. If you disagreed with that assessment, you wouldn’t want your vote to be applied in that way.
