I always thought I know this scene from Clockwork Orange.

Due to noise ratio and code overhead, I'm ready to accept the least compromise: A small, filtering Mastodon client integrated in the mod tools UI where mods can easily import toots into the community.

Thanks. I still think we have a lack of content problem, rather than a lack of mods problem. The community downvotes context-misfits, mods remove meaningless stuff, filters hide threads, .... If we don't have the mod tools to tackle microblogs, we will need them anyway when piefed gets more popular.

Such flawed community picking while posting is one advantage of using microblogging. You can post regardless of having found the correct category or forum. Good point.. maybe.

On the other hand, maybe you should rename your community from "climbing" to "rockclimbing"?

Mods should be able to switch from opt-out (manually remove Mastodon posts from the hashtag-community) to opt-in (manually "boost" Mastodon posts into the hashtag-community). That switch could also flip like a fuse when a threshold is reached, with an admin-configured max_toots_per_day.

The flooded mod tool could help itself with filters by min_boosts, min_stars, links, media and max_age, etc.

It would be an acceptable variant or configuration for very busy/misused hashtags. I think if many users can join the mod team, it would work well.

It's not two views on the same content. They keep microblogs and threads separated.

Do I miss something?

  • Communities are called "Magazines" on mbin. Magazines contain posts from the threadiverse (lemmy, etc.), not microblogger posts.
  • "Microblog" in the header menu links to a TL of microblog posts, not posts from the threadiverse.
  • From the comment section below threadiverse posts, you can upvote, reply and boost (a threadiverse comment to your microblogging TL), that's okay but why distinguish them in the first place?
  • You can passively view (and rank) the microblog TL filtered by tag. That feels redundant.

I want hashtags treated like communities.

Just checked on fedia.io . It's not what I meant.

Explanation

[ is an alias for the program test, so you can call man test for more info.
&& is bash syntax for conjunction. In A && B, B will only be called if A returned a exit code >0 (error). You can call man bash for more info.
|| is bash syntax for disjunction. In A || B, B will only be called if A returned exit code =0 (success). true and false are programs that just return exit codes 0 respectively 1.

Thanks but I don't think I want a microblogging-UI within piefed but a translation into communities.

TL;DR I want Mastodon hashtags treated like communities.

Given the following homomorphism (morphism, analogy) between microblogs like Mastodon and the forumverse:

nr microblog forumverse
010 subscribe to hashtags subscribe to communities
020 include particular hashtags in their posts (cross-)post in particular communities
025 include particular hashtags in their posts include particular hashtags in their posts
030 list posts of a hashtag view a community
040 comment a post comment a post
050 star a post upvote a post
060 boost into TL approve "into" community

I wish to interact with microbloggers as a piefed user. Piefed could render microblog posts that contain a hashtag as a community post within a "community" named by this particular hashtag. Also, microblog accounts could be viewed like a regular user in piefed.

Pros: Lemmy posts and communities are visible and subscriptable in Mastodon already. Piefed should complete this connectivity.

Cons: Re-interpreting microblog posts as forum entries could lead to some misunderstandings which again lead to defederation. But I cannot think of any.

Edits: Added 060, 025, TL;DR
Edit: There appears to be a Mastodon integration being planned.

 

I'd like to have full titles (e.g. multiline) in any of the two existing tile themes. Is that possible?

Also, when using my mobile in vertical mode,

  • there's no difference between both themes
  • and text hints become useless because my phone doesn't have a cursor.
 

.. is waaaay too far down in the page. Please consider it floating on top, e.g. next to the Community title.
