Hello everyone. Just trying out piefed here in the fediverse. I’m looking for great examples of piefed feeds that work well in mastodon. Would love any recommendations you have.

Does following a community spam your feed with every reply to every thread in that community, or just with new posts?

It'd be every reply I think.

It's partially fixable, by interacting with Mastodon the same way PeerTube does and have the community Announce only the posts. For everything else after that, it depends on whether the user is local or not. Anything a local user does could be sent directly, and if a remote user replied to a local user's post, the local user could send a 'post update', for Mastodon to then retrieve the replies collection, circumventing the problem of us not having the remote user's private keys. But if a remote user replied to a remote user's post on a local community, they'd be nothing we could do about it (don't have the keys for the 'post update', can't Announce it without it being spammy either)

Hm, messy. Thanks for the reply. It's like we're so close to good interoperability, but yet so far.

Just new posts :D

I tested it in https://piefed.social/c/playground

EDIT: unless the poster is from a remote instance, then the reply shows up as 'Boosted' in Mastodon. Argh.
