Since the PieFed API was only enabled recently, there aren’t that many apps out yet. !interstellar@kbin.earth is the one that people recommend right now. Voyager has plans to add it.

As more people use it, hopefully more apps will support it :)

Someone else already gave a decent explanation :)

Can you try these two guide pages and see if they help? They have some diagrams

https://fedecan.ca/en/guide/get-started

https://fedecan.ca/en/guide/lemmy/for-users/detailed-overview

So lemmy.ca and piefed.ca have different feeds altogether when I view them, are they two separate things then

They are two separate platforms, made by different teams. The feeds look different for a few reasons

• piefed.ca is brand new and so it is missing a lot of the content. As people start using it, the default logged out feed will start to look closer to other instances
• An instance only pulls the content that its users are subscribed to. When you make an account on an instance and you are the first person to subscribe to a community, hitting subscribe will tell your instance to start pulling in those posts. That is why every instance will be slightly different regardless.

I’m not really clear on how communicating freely between them works

Unlike Lemmy and Mastodon, which are somewhat different formats (posts in communities) vs. short text posts on a user’s profile), Lemmy and PieFed are more or less the same. So it should be a lot closer in experience. Whatever you can subscribe to, comment on, or vote on within lemmy.ca, you should be able to do the same on piefed.ca

Especially because we are running both instances, and so they will have similar block lists.

It’s nice timing! Looking forward to seeing you and your instance in the world of pie :)

I believe Waymo has a better set of sensors (Lidar + Radar+ Cameras instead of just cameras), more processing power, and more research / time / resources spent on it compared to Tesla.

So it’s not that we aren’t ready for self driving taxis, but rather about which cars are ready to provide that service

There are a few self hosted dead man’s switches which might work in this case.

Easiest might be to give passwords to a trusted friend with technical experience and a list of the important things that you want done.

A big part of this site’s pitch to its clients, including the “hyperscale” customers with gigantic data centers nearby, is that each device is labeled, tracked, and inventoried for its drives—both obvious and hidden—and is either securely wiped or destroyed. The process, commonly called ITAD, is used by larger businesses, especially when they upgrade fleets of servers or workers’ devices. ITAD providers ensure all the old gear is wiped clean, then resold, repurposed, recycled, or destroyed.

There’s a quote along the lines of “User error is not a thing, the system allowed for the error through bad design”

Which can be true depending on how far you stretch it. I’d say that if a chunk of the user base is having a problem, it’s a design problem

We haven’t hugged the Wii to death yet

I saw this on another post earlier: https://www.theverge.com/tech/672312/microsoft-block-palestine-gaza-email

This was a UI bug a while back, and it might still be present in cases like account imports. Maybe someone can make a bug report / GitHub issue about it

There is no other method from what I can tell. Until it’s fixed, I guess someone can write a script that does the same action to quickly go through your list and fix it

This user commented about trying Watcharr earlier in this thread

https://lemmy.ca/comment/16523668

I also see mentions of Ryot, Yamtrak, Simkl, Jellystat

A 2x price increase (or more for people who are on discounted or grandfathered plans) will likely get people to reevaluate if they really need the service. Based on the comments so far, it looks like a lot of people already have dropped it

This comment gives a good summary, but in short it lets you track what movies and shows you’ve watched / want to watch

https://lemmy.ca/comment/16513770

It tracks watch history and allows you to build lists, in a way that should integrate with other services. How well it does that is questionable

Some people might still be using it out of habit or loyalty, but a $30 price jump might change that

I’ve been using threadiverse, but I prefer forumverse

It’s immediately clear what it’s referring to, and it leaves it open to other compatible platforms once they implement activity pub nicely. Being able to subscribe and post to official support forums from the forumverse would be a cool promo point

Also people refer to many things as “threads”. Conversations, comment sections, discord has threads. Forum is much more clear

Or “aggressive”

The annotation system could benefit from federation. Users can submit any interpretation, and some of them will need to be moderated.

I can’t think of a format that would be compatible with other fediverse platforms. While it would be nice to be able to annotate from existing accounts or follow new updates to a song from Lemmy/Mastodon, the specifics would be complicated. Do people follow artists, albums, songs, lines of text? Sometimes people will want to annotate a single word, and other times a whole paragraph

However, the lyrics themselves would be better off with a system like Wikipedia

It stopped doing that a few months back, but it still randomly asks every now and then. I wish Android could deny permanently

Briar comes to mind, although not directly related to self hosting or Linux

You might also find some of these answers helpful. Some of the services mentioned include Meshtastic, Briar, Kiwix

This is good feedback, I’ll note them down for the next set of changes
