I hope governments switch to this
Thanks for the update and great work you’re doing
Ah I see, I hope some good alternatives pop up to compete.
With little competition dating apps just screw people over for max profit
Haven’t used it myself but my mate seems to thoroughly enjoy it.
Why does it suck?
Has a fix for ‘Crosspost any post’ been included in 1.3 or will it be moved to 1.4?

I looked at some posts but don’t see the crosspost option

If you think my suggestion is bad, I challenge you to come up with a better one.

22·14 days agoI disagree, images add a lot and it’s already built into PieFed quite nicely. Relying on things like imgur to host your images comes with a lot of problems, adds friction and is bad UX.
If PieFed becomes 10% the size of reddit, which I hope it does, how do you propose the hosing costs of the ~40 million weekly active users are paid for?

2·14 days agoI’m proposing it purely for cosmetics, it won’t boost your comment or post with default sort.
And users can opt out of seeing any rewards.
It’s just a nice fun thing to have, and something small you get for making a donation

31·14 days agoMoney can pay for new features like the ability to upload videos or keep images longer etc. Currently I think images older than x years get deleted, money can solve this.
Thought experiment: Reddit has 400 million weekly active users. Let’s say PieFed grows to 10% of that.
That means that there will likely be multiple instances with over 4 million weekly active users, how do they pay for that? Who pays for all the images (and hopefully video) that those users share?

124·14 days agoPerhaps, but sadly we do need money to make things work. If PieFed grows to 1 Million+ users I don’t think donations are going to cut it.

My laptop battery life doubled when I switched from Windows to Mint





Same and how well a game runs on the Steam Machine will likely be in all benchmarks and devs will optimise their games for Linux (Steam OS)
