Piefed monthly user activity has increased by nearly 500 in 3 days.

thx,
this fediverse seems for me more usable than others like mastodon a half if a year ago. -
Congrats!

Here from Reddit.
It's about time to move over.
-
The 3 posts I made on reddit promoting the Fediverse and PieFed got over 300,000 views together.
More people getting involved in fedigrow could see much higher numbers, but let's not spam.
As a small comment, !fedibridge@lemmy.dbzer0.com is supposed to be the community for promotion outside of the Fediverse, so Reddit and others.
!fedigrow@lemmy.zip is dedicated about community growing.
Maybe the names are confusing and we should switch community growing to a new !communitygrow@piefed.zip or something

Piefed/Lemmy are closer to Reddit than Mastodon is to Twitter. Feel free if you have any questions! -

Ah thanks for the clarification, I never looked that closely at what exactly they are, there's some overlap

Is there any particular reason for this?
One of my friends finally joined for two reasons. First he was disgusted by the Reddit ICE ads, and second he realized his Reddit feed was half shit he doesn’t subscribe to.

Some promotional posts were made on Reddit in the right comms, although none of them specifically exploded - albeit one was made also in r/buyCanadian and it seemed to surge.
Reddit also upped the enshittification but i cant remember why.

Welcome new users!!

That's actually also the reason I am here, lol. Reddit feed. has gone down the drain, although I don't get Ice ads. I ain't American.

I wonder, would these users still use PieFed if they have seen its codebase? Maybe it can be one day but right now it's 100% not production-grade software. Nonsensical hardcoded bans and blocks everywhere. >1000 lines of Python in a single file. Uses regex to parse HTML. The list goes on...

If the code is bad, you realise only coders would notice it from reading that?
And most people are not coders. What hardcoded bans are you referring to here? The 4chan one that can be disabled?

That's what makes it particularly sad. The people who didn't read the code have no idea what they're in for.

How about this one?
'enoughmuskspam', 'political_weirdos', 'piracy', 'memes' are hardcoded banned. 196 used to be banned to but they removed it from the "bad list".Also "can be disabled" does not excuse hardcoded filtering. If they're serious they could implement a config system in an hour.

What are they in for? The site seems to work fine from a user perspective.
That is from an auto-federation system for instances to bulk add new comms across instances. Any community can still be manually added. And I think most of those may have been removed now a few weeks ago. I can literally access enoughmuskspam@lemmy.world from piefed.social and all those other terms.
All new admins need to do to change things is to untick boxes.

Can you show me Reddits code?

Can you show me Reddits code?
The version from 10 years ago, yeah. It's here https://github.com/reddit-archive/reddit.
There's a modern and production-ready open source alternative. It's called Lemmy. You can find the source here https://github.com/lemmynet/lemmy
