I’ve been on nixos for a year or so now. The learning curve is steep, but I feel it worth it for the reproducibility and config control.

Piefed has a couple of different ways to populate a new server. Pulling lemmyverse data and subscribing to comms that way, or scanning a remote Lemmy/mbin/pieces server for comms. You can look at that code if you want inspiration.

Usually Lemmy/piefed does a pull of the most recent 50 posts when the follow first happens. Then new posts come in over time via federation.

If you’re not getting /any/ new posts it may be that the federation is not working. If some communities gets posts more than others then it’s probably a difference in activity levels in the communities.

Fair. I don’t do audio stuff so I’ll take your word for it.

Agreed. A Virtual Machine is also an option. That’s how I got started, running fedora vms on my windows laptop ten+ years ago.

For the federating its a new kind of AP actor. I’ll be putting in a FEP for it in the near future, but its basically a “Group” that only cares about the “Following” collection.

You can see example json for the AP interactions here: https://codeberg.org/rimu/pyfedi/src/branch/main/docs/activitypub_examples/feeds

The AP interactions for a Feed are:

• Send a Follow request for a Feed
• Accept a Follow request (this is automatic for public feeds)
• Reject a Follow request (this is automatic for private feeds)
• Announce an Add of a Community to a Feed
• Announce a Remove of a Community from a Feed
• Send a Delete of a Feed to subscribers

Came here to point out CoH!

Same! Very confusing thing first thing in the morning

Hello from PieFed!

Control+r == search through your bash history.

I used linux for ten years before finding out about that one.

Piefed instances now do have a form of this for instance admins to populate new instances.

Admins can:
-pull the lemmyverse data and subscribe to a bunch of communities at once
or
-target a single lemmy or mbin instance, get the list of communities that instance hosts, and subscribe to a bunch of communities on that instance.

Both have some tunable settings to allow admins control over how many communities are followed.

Its not an end-user thing, but it should help with setting up new instances and them not being so ‘empty’.

edit: typo

This code: https://codeberg.org/rimu/pyfedi/src/branch/main/app/api/alpha

Its mostly freamon and rimu working on that part. Iirc its meant to be lemmy api compatible, but i think there are some adaptations needed to accomadate the piefed way differences.

Freamon got a fork of a lemmy app to sort-of work back in september (https://matrix.to/#%2F!NVUzKiFppMtECaxHQm%3Amatrix.org%2F%24KJqJfus8DVy-B64AC8uWEQ9oiGsRA04AReRF-05nQYA%3Fvia=matrix.org&via=tchncs.de&via=jeena.net) so the alpha api stuff has been coming in since then.

no apps yet. work on an alpha API is in progress though, so soon™ hehe

not a fork, its its own code base built from scratch.

Yes. I added that myself a couple months ago 😎

edit: you have to export your lemmy user settings. that comes down as a .json file. Then you make a piefed user, and there is an import settings in the piefed user profile.

it will also attempt to import any blocks/bans of users/communities you had in the lemmy settings. But if the instance of piefed you are on does not ‘l\know’ about those users/communities it wont add them to bans list. But of course that means the community in question is not federated to the instance you are on, so half-dozen-of-one-six-of-the-other really.

I use piefed, mastodon, and pixelfed. The only AI stuff i see is the stuff i sought out on purpose. At least afaik.

I have a Razer blade 15 advanced from a few years ago. I’ve run Arch on it, and now NixOS

It does steam fine, I can use the GPU for gaming, all that fun stuff.

Came here to say the same.

Same. I loved reddit before it went to h*ll. Now I run my own PieFed instance just for myself and even if the other devs give up on the project I know it will still be there. Cause it’s mine
