I use Grayjay on my MNT Laptop (arm64) in Linux through Waydroid. A native client would be better but the solution with Android emulation works a treat. No issues.

Right okay I undertand. Thanks!

Then, go over to the community on piefed, and near the bottom of the sidebar, there is a link to "Retrieve a post from the original server".

Some posts seem to not be retrievable, yet they exist when you follow the canonical links and the Lemmy instances aren't blocvked.

This one for instance:

https://pawb.social/comment/13985010

Any idea why?

Surely you mean A1...

Well, the overall score was reflected on those original posts piefed.social mirrored by itself. So it did work at least once. It's those extra posts I forced Piefed to retrieve manually that all came with the default score of 1.

Like I said, it doesn't really matter. But ideally when I finally decide to relocate the communities, I'd like the Piefed copies to be identical. But the scoring is not important: what I really care about is the content and that made it across, now that I finished the retrieve job manually. So it's all good.

It's almost as if rich Republicans were terrible people...

Wow thanks. It's less obvious than the Youtube video makes it out to be.

Your comment should be stickied somewhere.

EDIT: I'm retrieving posts from the original SDF community one by one (good thing it's a small community with low bandwidth 🙂) and I notice that, while the posts appear, the original downvotes/upvotes aren't. copied over. I don't really care, but I figured I'd mention it.

Food pedants aren't gullible. They know full well water isn't worth anything like the price it's sold when it's bottled. But they're pedants: it's their job to look sophisticated. They literally make a living out of talking bullcrap about food.

That's why I said: if they want to pay silly money for water, they're welcome to. What I oppose if ordinary people listening to them and getting taken for a ride next time they go out for dinner.

But I think reasonable people won't fall for that one. It's just too stupid on its face. And people who are too dumb to know water is just water, well... a fool and his money...

That's a blatant scam for self-appointed restaurant critics and other food pedants.

Let them be scammed. Why not... I have nothing against taking money from fools, so long as they don't convince reasonable people to do the same.

How come this Lemmy community only shows the last 15 posts / 10 months worth of posts on Piefed?

This community or this community (from the same Lemmy instance) too are clipped, but they both show a year's worth.

Does it have something to do with the date at which the first PieFed user join them?

I know Lemmy instances only start mirroring a community hosted on another instance when someone on that instance joins it. But after that someone joined and the instance is done mirroring the community, the whole of it is browseable.

If I had to guess, I'd say Piefed instances only mirror the 15 last posts after the first user joins, or a years's worth, whichever applies. Correct?

And if so, does this also apply to native Piefed communities? In other words, does Piefied "disappear" older posts in Piefed communities?

Just wait until he discovers that the truck has a battery and can charge the phone with the engine turned off. It's gonna blow his mind.

Hey all,

I'm evaluating PieFed as a replacement for Lemmy, with a view to importing my two Lemmy communities to move them out of the failing Lemmy instance they're currently hosted on (a PieFed exclusive I understand). I've created an account and imported my Lemmy settings yesterday, and so far it's been more or less smooth sailing.

But there's one showstopper for me: when I create a post, there's no field to specify the thumbnail image URL. When PieFed guesses the image URL correctly, no problem. But here, I just posted this YouTube video, and just like on Lemmy half of the time, the thumbnail image didn't get picked up. On Lemmy, I always manually insert the thumbnail URL when I post YouTube links for that reason.

Similarly, some sites make it extra-hard for software to correctly guess the og:image - Reuters for instance - and so in those cases when it doesn't work, I manually set the correct thumbnail URL too.

Here on PieFed, there doesn't seem to be a provision to set the thumbnail URL.

Am I doing something wrong? Am I missing something obvious? I really doubt this basic functionality is missing from PieFed.
