Chronicle the life and tale of the fediverse (+ matrix)
Largely a sublemmy about capturing drama, from fediverse spanning drama to just lemmy drama.
Includes lore like how a instance got it's name, how an instance got defederated, how an admin got doxxed, fedihistory etc
(New) This sub's intentions is to an archive/newspaper, as in preferably don't get into fights with each other or the ppl featured in the drama

I wanted to support them before but now I’m hoping someone forks their codebase.
Piefed is a beauty. Made to be easily to contribute to, great morals and focus on tools for safety, ability to subscribe to posts for notifications sorts like the forum days, compatible with lemmy and discourse forum federation iirc and the main developer seems really chill and like he cares about making a good and healthy platform
Hello,
Taking the opportunity to ask a Piefed contributor: do you guys have any plan to implement "New comments" filter?
I asked about it a while ago in this issue but it never really got prioritized (which is fine!) https://codeberg.org/rimu/pyfedi/issues/142#issuecomment-1808892
I think if you opened a separate issue about it it would get more attention as it was probably read in that thread and he didnt have a response in the moment and now he probably forgot the question is in that issue
(I just contribute feature requests and my opinion so idk to be honest but i would like the feature)
Alright, I just did! https://codeberg.org/rimu/pyfedi/issues/275
The codebase is extremely shitty, instead people opted for complete rewrite.
how so?
There are several bad architectural decisions and when your architecture is wrong, the quality of the code itself doesn't really matter (to be more specific, I was talking about architecture in my previous comment, not the code itself, I don't know Rust so I can't really comment on that).
To fix the architecture, major parts would have to be rewritten, almost making it a different codebase, because pretty much no part would be left unturned.
