One vote action for all cross-post posts
Hmm, that is an interesting idea...
I might look into this one. Would something like voting buttons in the crosspost dropdown be an acceptable alternative? I think I would prefer to keep 1 action (click) means 1 vote, but making it easier to vote on crossposts makes sense with the way that piefed consolidates comments.
So, voting buttons here maybe? (no promises, just an idea) -
That would be pretty cool.
Probably just upvote, though? Don't want to encourage drive-by downvotes, really.
I don't think it is a good idea. Some things that are acceptable content in one community may not be in another. You may downvote something in a sub about political news but upvote it in a meme sub or in a nottheonion sub.
I understand that this proposal is to have separate voting controls per cross-posted community, not automatically upvote all
That's a bit better but still, I don't think it is a good idea : upcoming for 10 communities should be 10 different decision. Such a tool makes it impossible for a post to not be popular in small subs if it is in big ones
That's a fair point. I think in most cases I would want to be upvoting a post and all of its cross posts, but there are cases where I wouldn't want to upvote it in other communities.
For instance, a post that you like might get cross posted to something like c/facepalm. If you disagreed with that assessment, you wouldn't want your vote to be applied in that way.

Browse a list of communities sorted by their Monthly Active Users (MAU). It could make discovering popular or active communities a bit easier. Just a thought! It's not something I'm really missing.

Easily upload and include images in comments. Right now you have to use a third party image hosting site, and add the URL in order to put images in comments.
Not sure about other apps, but Summit has an image upload button. They go to media.piefed.social
I would imagine hosting images would cost a fair bit. Perhaps they can have a premium option to fund it.
The website / PWA can't currently upload images.
Summit doesn't have deduplication yet.
Voyager can do it too, via PWA even. Don’t even need to press the upload button, simply copy and paste the image, it gets uploaded and included in the comment automatically.

Allow restricting posting and commenting to subscribers: https://lemmy.world/comment/18549782
My ideal default would be, users have to subscribe to vote, because drive-by downvotes are very common, and keep niche communities from getting anywhere in the All feed.
I think maybe only subscribers should be allowed to downvote, but anyone should be able to upvote

Bring back pseudonymous voting agents. Literally the killer feature of piefed, killed by stupid forum politics.
I do not give a single goddamn fuck about brigading or vote manipulation whatever nonsense the fediverse admin cabal has convinced themselves matters on their discord stovepipe. Vites are not real. They cannot hurt you. I do not want my plaintext voting activity to be hoovered up by anyone listening to the activitypub feeds, which is already used to foster censorship and will inevitably be used to enable targeted astroturfing. Rimu, please be more brave about this.
Mark my words, this will be the "hindsight" issue a few years from now. "How the fuck did anyone think public voting was a good idea" will be the postmortem of the fediverse.
People have deluded themselves into thinking that the Fediverse is so small no government entity cares enough to set up a simple instance that just sits there and sucks up data. It might not even be being used at the moment but the moment they want to it would be easier than most people realize to connect their account to an individual.

Please put the bookmark/save button on the thingy down there. There's plenty of room.
Other than that and some kickass themes, I think PieFed is ahead of the curve in the lemmyverse ATM.

Create a clear description of Piefed on the about page or another relevant page to direct users there instead of the code repository or specific instances.
I thought of another one. In this age of decreasing digital freedom, PieFed (and every other website) should allow people to register multiple email addresses, in case a user suddenly loses access to one.
Many posts don't have a language selected so 'content language' preference should either allow selecting those, or a setting to reverse it turning it into a block list with all languages automatically selected, then allow the user to deselect his language to block the rest.
Cross-posting text-only posts
👆 Yes please
Thanks devs for making piefed first of all I love the alternative.
I really disliked these two options being enabled by default without informing me at the very least. I ended up subscribed to a bunch of stuff I didn't want to be subscribed to before I figured out what caused it initially when I first signed up.
Honesty I don't know why anyone would want that as default behaviour?
I'd like to sort communities by Top X amount of time, IIRC that was already in the works.
Native image upload support so I don't need an app / uploading to imgbb manually sucks on a phone.
Edit: if it's cost prohibitive to store media uploads even with file size limits I'd like more external options for image hosts than for example Summit app who only offers imgur as an alternative. Or let users enter a custom image hoster url or something.

This is already live. If you are viewing a community, click Top in the bar and it should be a dropdown menu where you select the timerange:
If you are on a small mobile screen (like using the PWA), the different time options are listed out with the other sort options:

Allow user to view only votes from the instance they are using
Somewhat related, it would be super interesting to get a breakdown of what the votes are like on a per instance basis. Maybe some sort of pie chart.
Oooh, vote stats. How many from community subscribers vs. not, from each instance, perhaps a timeline of when they came in, etc. Reddit had something similar.
