Noticed that #Piefed autolinks URLs without https and the linkification federates to Mastodon, are there other fediverse servers that do this? Seems like a huge quality of life improvement

PieFed continues to gain integrations with Lemmy apps. Blorp (love the name) is the most recent addition, initially in the web app with a TestFlight to come.

@ivantodorov Give Piefed a try - it interoperates with Lemmy and Kbin/Mbin. The cool feature I like about Piefed is it will link messages in cross-posts so that even if you're in a small community, you'll get to see the bigger picture of what's being discussed. On lemmy you have to navigate to the crossposted links to see other comments, which if you don't, can make your experience feel walled-off.

A large #Lemmy instance is shutting down - https://lemm.ee.
Fortunately, #PieFed provides a way to migrate the posts in all the communities on it to somewhere else!
See https://piefed.social/post/667044 for a demo.

#PieFed, a federated #Reddit alternative, may well be the most actively updated volunteer-maintained FOSS application. There are new features (not minor ones either) every day along with a number of bug fixes. And it's rock solid.
I update the software on my Piefed server a minimum of twice a day, and even doing this, I'm always afraid I'm falling behind.
For example, these are the changes made last month: https://link.fossdle.org/post/1605. It's a huge list.
And, as a plus, unlike Lemmy, the developers are not tankies. They are great human beings. I never went to Lemmy because of the developers. I just couldn't.
I'm impressed, and I want to throw some public Kudos and thank yous toward the team.
If you would like to explore PieFed, here's the server list: https://join.piefed.social/try/
Every single #Fediverse server of all types should do this. Every one. “PieFed now includes a simple plugin engine so third parties can extend PieFed functionality without adding their code to the main #PieFed project.” https://piefed.social/post/1031211 cc: @piefed_meta

I'm going to try setting up a brand-new instance of #PieFed, software I feel has quickly become the flagship example of the awesomeness that is the #threadiverse
(Imagine if Lemmy were, um, just a lot better. That's PieFed! 😅)
Wish me luck!

Today I coded something I've been dreaming about for many months - a solution to the #ActivityPub scaling problem.
The problem is that if 20 people cast 5 votes and those votes are federated to 500 servers, the instance hosting the community needs to do 20 * 5 * 500 = 50,000 network requests.
The solution is to bundle the activity up into chunks. I describe the solution and how #PieFed does it here https://peertube.wtf/w/v5aWpxjS2P4pJSn62a2AYG (probably only of interest to developers).
I have now found 1070 verified accounts from media organizations in the #Fediverse, but only on #Mastodon, #Flipboard, #Threads, #Bluesky, #Ghost and #Peertube.
Just one is on #Sharkey (👋🏻 @heiseBotti) and none on #Pixelfed, #Lemmy, #Piefed, #Misskey & Co. Are there really none there, or did I miss some?

PieFed is seeing a surge in new users as a prominent Lemmy server retires, lemm.ee

#PieFed is a cool project so while I'm always sad to see a well-used fediverse service die, this is definitely a silver lining.
While we're talking about the #threadiverse, I just came across a community that hosts itself;
Making it effectively independent of account-hosting aggregator services like lemm.ee. In the absence of fully federated groups, this seems sensible.
