Yeah user-created topics would be a fine enhancement. Various aspects of the multireddit concept have separate issues in the issue queue but they haven’t been coherently tied together yet. It might be time to do that.
One way to limit exposure to negative news is a keyword filter, which I implemented 6 months ago, early on in the project: https://piefed.social/post/7576
Yeah I’m pretty interested in this and Topics is only the first iteration of the idea. At the time piefed.social was basically a single-user instance so making the topics admin-manually-curated groupings was fine. Perhaps it’s time to take things to the next level, tho.
The concept of ‘multireddits’ sounds like a bundle of related functionality and I’m not sure which parts of that you’re interested in that PieFed’s “topics” doesn’t already do. Is it the user-created part? The subscribing part? The join-many-communties-at-once part? PieFed does some of those already but you won’t see it unless you’re logged in…
It’s going well, thanks for asking. I enjoy using it and improving it every day.
Over the last year I’ve learnt a lot and if I started again today I’d lay some of the underlying foundations differently - in a way that supports a medium sized app instead of a small one. At the time I didn’t know if it would ever grow beyond being small… Good problem to have!
Yes, it’s a bit different.
In Kbin they are user-defined. If kbin.social was online I’d share a link.
I agree on the sensationalism in the article.
The article links to this as technical proof https://grizzlyreports.com/we-believe-pdd-is-a-dying-fraudulent-company-and-its-shopping-app-temu-is-cleverly-hidden-spyware-that-poses-an-urgent-security-threat-to-u-s-national-interests/

It is understandable that you didn’t find those communities, discoverability is a real issue with Lemmy. I have tried to solve this by curating communities into groups of Topics - https://piefed.social/topics
How do you know that?

When I started working on PieFed I was all enthusiastic about the idea of moderation tools. But when it came time to actually code that functionality it was like pulling teeth. Just. Sooo. Boring. It took weeks longer than it should have, for that reason. This was really surprising to me because I’m deeply passionate about moderation and ‘gardening’ a community.
That’s the thing about open source, people just do the fun stuff. There’s always some fun stuff to do which distracts from the boring-but-necessary.
I wonder how many of those registered members are active? Maybe 38?
I looked at the examples and really can’t see much difference.

What am I missing?
Yes, it’s completely possible.
Kbin has it, which it calls “Collections” - see https://kbin.social/magazines/collections. Anyone can add a collection which can be subscribed to by anyone. It is very flexible and crowd-sources the work of organizing the communities into collections. I like it.
PieFed calls it “Topics” - see https://piefed.social/topics. They are arraigned into a hierarchy and are created by the the instance admin. This could give a better experience to the end user but puts more work onto the instance admins.
No. We’ve done some work in that direction to try some things out but nothing anywhere near usable.
Sorry you stumbled into the wrong instance. Fortunately, other instances already offer alternative communities that are more active and moderated differently.
This could have been avoided if the UI included a warning about communities with problems. Like how PieFed does: https://piefed.social/post/89659
This would be fine if there were no externalities.
Yeah, but no https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jevons_paradox
The climate doesn’t give a toss how much value for shareholders is generated, all that matters is the total amount of emissions.
I had a terrible time getting wifi working on my Macbook Pro from about the same year. 2012, I think. It semi-worked but was horrifically unreliable and slow.
In the end I just got a tiny USB wifi dongle and plugged it in, rather than using the internal wifi card.
