Thank you so much for this medal, I will cherish it 😁

I’d make a recommendation: have some sort of cross-pollination tool. Basically, pull the database of all subscribed communities on Lemmy.ca and have a bot subscribe to the same on PieFed, and vice versa. Probably easy to do if you have server-side access.

This is actually somewhat built into PieFed. Users can import from a lemmy account, and admins can do a bulk community import of the local communities on a particular instance (filtering by number of posts and users in the past week in those communities). However, it's buggy. Eventually it would be nice to have tools to synchronize administration between the instances so that we don't need to repeat actions on both instances.

Furthermore, in the ideal world, “Local” from the Lemmy instance includes the piefed.ca local commuities. This might be a harder ask. The reason would be to prevent bisecting the Local feeds.

Agreed :) PieFed does have a 'popular' feed, so another solution would be to have a default feed that we have more control over (ex. picking specific instances or communities). As long as the exact breakdown is communicated to the user, perhaps as a 'learn more' button in the existing "Create an account to tailor this feed to your interests.", I don't think people will mind the admins customizing it to fit the instance. We've discussed in the past whether it is better to have the default logged out view be 'local' or 'popular', and this might help with that problem too.

Finally, ideally there is a community migration tool, to cross between Lemmy and PieFed if a community wants to move from one side to the other

This actually exists for the Lemmy -> PieFed direction! @blaze posted some information about it here: https://lemmy.ca/comment/16976004

It could be better, since right now while the PieFed instance does get a copy of all the posts, the Lemmy instance doesn't know about it. Hopefully the various platforms can coordinate some common solution.

Also happy cake day! 🥳

Here is the feature list of grapheneOS. A big one for me is sandboxing apps and more control over permissions.

The plan is to hold our one this winter. We missed last winter because we all got busy with other things. Now that we have a set of agreed upon questions ready and a plan for importing/exporting between instances, it should be easy to run ours on schedule :)

These are two comments that you have made, and I think people are pointing out the contradiction:

Israel is not a single person. The Israelis being held hostage are certainly victims. Antisemitism in the west has reached a point where it’s no longer safe to raise awareness that Hamas is still holding Israelis hostage, see the Boulder, CO attack. You’re being told you should dehumanize all Israelis (along with anyone that even has empathy for Israelis) so you can believe a simple narrative where all Israelis are evil. Likely you’re also being told that anyone that has empathy for Israelis being held hostage are evil (aka the “Zionist Jews”). You’re probably just not to the point where you’re believing all Jews are evil, but you might be willing to look the other way about the actions of those that do.

Yeah Italy just rolled over in WWII while Germany fought to the bitter end. Do you think it was better that Germany continued fighting when it was obvious they’d lost because some authoritarian asshole convinced them they should own all of the land they wanted with no more Jews?

Look at the photos of German cities at the end of WWII and look at Gaza. This kind of senseless hatred doesn’t accomplish anything other than getting a lot of people killed.

Palestinians are dying because of the hatred of Hamas and it will accomplish exactly nothing.

Also, in your opinion, what should people do in order to end the suffering and violence? Not just for any particular side, but for everyone.

I think that could work, I can lock the NewToPiefed and redirect it to NewToLemmy and rename the later

Alternatively I can keep both open and pin a thread in NewToPiefed saying that they can also post in the larger and more active NewToLemmy, and edit the sidebar of each to say that its ok. That might keep the friction to a minimum so that people are more likely to post wherever they end up.

I have also heard good things about https://beehaw.org/ in that regard (both are excellent instances, I'm not suggesting one over the other)

I hope you and the community here is able to find a place that meets your needs! I enjoy reading and learning from the posts in this community

I think it has been like that for a while. ~~It's not paywalled, but rather account-walled~~ (edit: I was wrong)

There may also be different versions of the article, since I don't always come across the wall

I don't think they need a specific answer, but rather they want to comment on the different variations

Right at the end of the video, there is a twist that may raise the graying eyebrows of Commodore fans around the globe. Perifractic reveals that he received a message direct from Commodore Corporation B.V. that states “yes we can grant you an exclusive license, but your team seems to know Commodore better than we do, we might like to sell you the whole company.”

What 😄

Sadly, we are left with this cliffhanger. Viewers are told to stay tuned for Part 2 of this video, “live and Let Buy.” But we don’t have a date for the video publication. Stay tuned, indeed.

:(

Parking apps is an interesting one:

  • it is very convenient to not have to run back and put more money in the meter if your appointment / event goes over time
  • there are some significant privacy issues

I'm sharing this because of this context:

Doctors urge vaccination following death of Ontario infant infected with measles in the womb

https://www.cbc.ca/news/health/pregnancy-measles-1.7553851

However, when talking about this story, please also note the last line from this blurb. There is indeed a risk, and in this case there were other complications as well:

A premature infant who contracted measles before birth has died in southwestern Ontario, the province’s chief medical officer of health says,

According to Dr. Kieran Moore, the infant’s mother was not vaccinated against measles.

In a statement Thursday, he said while measles may have contributed to both the premature birth and death, the infant also faced other serious medical complications unrelated to the virus.

What is PieFed

PieFed follows a similar format as Lemmy and Mbin. Those that are familiar with Lemmy will find it very similar, with some additional features including topic lists, optional private voting, new mod and admin tools, crosspost de-duplication, community wikis, etc. Thanks to how the fediverse works, you can use either lemmy.ca or piefed.ca to interact freely!

We will put together some guides on our non-profit's website at some point. In the meantime, we have created [email protected] for us to learn from each other. There is also the official [email protected] community which has a similar purpose.

We have done some testing and we are learning as we go, but please bear with us while this new platform gets going 🙂
