tl;dr - Please only upvote this post if you want Summit to support PieFed.
I was supposed to start doing these starting from v1.64.0, but I forgot so apologizes.
I will start creating one of these posts per major release to gauge interest in PieFed. Y’all have until the next major release to vote. If any of these posts reach 200 upvotes before the poll for the next release I will make the next release focused on adding PieFed support.
Thank you.
Why is there still no way to link to a post which would open it in your own instance like we have with communities? If [email protected] works why not [email protected]/31899935 or something similar? I find it very odd that nobody is trying to solve this issue with linking to specific posts or comments and everyone who wants to interact with it needs to figure out how to open a specific post or comment on their own instance.
Yeah, it’s a frustrating bug. Mbin has solved it to some degree, hopefully others will follow eventually. :)
Oh they did? Do you know how? I mean, one way would be to know all the domains of Fediverse software and then rewrite them, but that seems practically impossible and very error prone. I would rather see some convention like for communities.
I think it has to do with activitypub, where Mbin follows the link, extracts some activitypub details from it, and then displays a link to the local version of the thread based on these details rather than showing the link itself. They also extract community icons and the user name of the OP.
It seems it might not work consistently 100% of the time, but when I’ve seen it it has been pretty useful, and it should at least be possible in theory. :)
That sounds quite cool.
