They have both

Awesome!

It's a whole different software, backend and frontend

I know Piefed is both a frontend and backend, but does this behavior require the backend? Like can it be used with a regular Lemmy backend and/or database without backwards-incompatible changes?

No questions right now. Just wanted to say thank you for your hard work.

I know y'all catch a lot of shit and get hammered with requests/demands, so I wanted to let you know that your work is greatly appreciated.

Thanks for dedicating your time and energy to making a non-corporate, federated social environment possible.

Being on Lemmy has been a breath of fresh air.

Interesting, is this all manually curated like multireddits? Would also be nice to have automatic ones (with include/exclude overrides)

The problem with it just being Piefed is that Lemmy clients probably won't bother to support it unless it becomes standard.

Is this a frontend specific thing or does it also require the Piefed backend on your instance too? If it is just frontend, I would definitely use it for desktop browsing.

Dope seeing implementation diversity resulting in experimentation and innovation. Would love to see this adopted in other Lemmy implementations too

Many more niche communities languish because they can never get enough traction to be seen.

If I subscribe to /c/dubstep, chances are I don't care if it is lemmy.ml/c/dubstep or lemmy.world/c/dubstep, but neither community is likely to be active because one comm on one instance needs to be the popular one for other users to sub and want to post there. What I really want is /f/dubstep

It would still be a huge benefit, especially for more niche topics, if we had something like a federation-wide comm like /f/niche_hobby that you could subscribe to instead of 20 different /c/niche_hobby communities.

Maybe comms could opt in/out of behavior to avoid the issue you described.

This would also benefit smaller instances because few people will subscribe to their comms because they are too inactive, making it so their content never gets traction.

My biggest complaint with Lemmy is that it is too hard to group & categorize content. Sometimes I want politics, sometimes I want nerd shit, but my only three options are subscribed, local, and all, which doesn't have any categorization unless you are on an active, niche server.

Multireddits are pretty much the only thing I miss from reddit.

China has a deal with the Houthis so they do not attack Chinese ships.

Founding fathers would be pissed that [slur removed] are voting. The constitution was written to oppress these people.

Except this game has a centuries long record of murdering and maiming women and children around the globe. Unplug it and toss it in the trash where it belongs.

Trump is giving these fucksticks exactly what they want. I assure you they want a third term.

Way to throw disabled people under the bus because you aren't clever enough to find another way to insult their intelligence.

Also using the phrase "civilized people" makes you sound like you'd fit in with the other Republicans.
