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

I've been on the microblogging side of the fediverse for some time (the misskey style forks), but really started to miss forum style discussion. 8 joined Lemmy and realized that a huge portion of comments simply weren't displaying on that instance, so I moved to Piefed and am really happy with it so far. There's a lot of features that I like.

Is some new drama going on over there lately?
-
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.

Been looking to migrate off .ml, can y'all sell me on switching to piefed?

Welcome!

That was an interesting read.
Seems like piefed should fix a lot of that. For some of it, at least make it configurable and not hard coded. But that blocked user stuff seems like a real problem.

Here = comm
And https://lemmy.world/comment/21861362 which leads to
https://piefed.social/comment/9670365
Where both calls anyone but them looking at the code amateurs and can't understand people wouldn't provide feedback if thought bad things in code were purposely done as so many projects will do that
There’s no need to listen to rumors and amateur speculation when we’re right here and happy to help. Come on in, the water’s fine!
This comment was a month ago, and he was aware of people heavily slamming his project and showing no interest at all in actually sharing it to him.
He isn't specifically "calling out" anyone directly. All he says here is that the stuff people are complaining about here have been on piefed and not hidden since day zero.

No, it just got advertised by some users from here and managed to cut through.

Thanks

Most of it is configurable and off by default. But the haters don't mention that.

Yeah I’m reading that in other replies. Still you would put this in configs, for which you could have templates that come with certain defaults populated, rather than hard coding like this.

Notice the quote from them specifically saying everyone but us are amateurs.

Again he's linking to the thread calling out others for looking at the code.
And again most are pointing out how terrible the code is and how odd it is for some of the features to exist.

"Amateur speculation". I've directly replied to many people who have made false conclusions about parts of the code they looked at, mostly notably the claim that continues to persist that lemmy.ml is also defederated out of the box based on a complete misunderstanding of a specific code snippet.

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...
Maybe it can be one day but right now it’s 100% not production-grade software.
Why should we only use "production-grade software" software on the Fediverse? Isnt the beauty that we can use all kind of software as long as it interacts decently via the relevant protocols?
Also I am already using Lemmy, which is pretty known for its opinionated devs. This does not seem to be anything that would stop, especially when I can actually read the code as its in a language I can atleast understand somewhat

Happy to help, more are coming

I just want to make sure people know what they're getting into before they decide to use PieFed. If you know about the issues and decide to use it, I totally respect that decision.

Love that the respose ignores every point just deflects again to a completely different topic

Been looking to migrate off .ml,
Why out if curiosity?

Saying some are doing amateur speculation is not the same thing as saying anyone who has issues are "amateurs".

Except that is exactly how it reads.
ignore everyone else looking at the code because they're amateurs as we're the only professionals here
