Developer of PieFed, a sibling of Lemmy & Kbin.
Yeah user-created topics would be a fine enhancement. Various aspects of the multireddit concept have separate issues in the issue queue but they haven’t been coherently tied together yet. It might be time to do that.
One way to limit exposure to negative news is a keyword filter, which I implemented 6 months ago, early on in the project: https://piefed.social/post/7576
Yeah I’m pretty interested in this and Topics is only the first iteration of the idea. At the time piefed.social was basically a single-user instance so making the topics admin-manually-curated groupings was fine. Perhaps it’s time to take things to the next level, tho.
The concept of ‘multireddits’ sounds like a bundle of related functionality and I’m not sure which parts of that you’re interested in that PieFed’s “topics” doesn’t already do. Is it the user-created part? The subscribing part? The join-many-communties-at-once part? PieFed does some of those already but you won’t see it unless you’re logged in…
It’s going well, thanks for asking. I enjoy using it and improving it every day.
Over the last year I’ve learnt a lot and if I started again today I’d lay some of the underlying foundations differently - in a way that supports a medium sized app instead of a small one. At the time I didn’t know if it would ever grow beyond being small… Good problem to have!
Yes, it’s a bit different.
In Kbin they are user-defined. If kbin.social was online I’d share a link.
I agree on the sensationalism in the article.
The article links to this as technical proof https://grizzlyreports.com/we-believe-pdd-is-a-dying-fraudulent-company-and-its-shopping-app-temu-is-cleverly-hidden-spyware-that-poses-an-urgent-security-threat-to-u-s-national-interests/
There’s analysis of decompiled source code.
No one is keeping track of how enthusiastically they do it or writing official reports on it or encouraging more of it. It’s the interest the govt takes in it that makes it weird(er).
This might all be made up. See https://www.nknews.org/2024/06/fact-check-north-korea-has-not-announced-plans-to-send-troops-to-ukraine-yet/
I’ve never heard of NK News before so - https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/nk-news/. Seems Ok.
In other news articles they’re described as support troops or engineers. They’d be building things, cooking meals, driving trucks, repairing stuff. Maybe occasionally get a HIMARS dropped on them but certainly not storming trenches.
He’s a Kremlin asset, no doubt about it.

It is understandable that you didn’t find those communities, discoverability is a real issue with Lemmy. I have tried to solve this by curating communities into groups of Topics - https://piefed.social/topics
The only other country where divorce is illegal is Vatican City.
Maybe they like to exercise power over others. Sociopaths like to hurt people.
I would appreciate this mbfc content on smaller less well known sources but imo we can assume Reuters and other big names are already trusted.
Also this article is a simple reporting of unambiguous events that undoubtedly occurred so there’s really no need to check the source. It’s not an interpretation of a political situation.
Just trying to save you some time.
How do you know that?
I will learn enough judo to throw you into the sun

When I started working on PieFed I was all enthusiastic about the idea of moderation tools. But when it came time to actually code that functionality it was like pulling teeth. Just. Sooo. Boring. It took weeks longer than it should have, for that reason. This was really surprising to me because I’m deeply passionate about moderation and ‘gardening’ a community.
That’s the thing about open source, people just do the fun stuff. There’s always some fun stuff to do which distracts from the boring-but-necessary.
They’re not excessive subsidies. It’s USA and Europe that are not subsidising EVs enough.
Any country or car maker that does not get on board with decarbonisation of the transport sector needs to be shut down asap.
I’m really curious about the workflow you have that needs that many tabs. How does the History and Bookmark functions fall short of what you need?
US and friends regularly take their boats out for a drive, NK always reacts the same. It’s a pretty boring news article.
