PieFed Meta

UI

Bottom sticky menu on mobile
Instance-chooser during registration, displaying info about all other instances
3D rotating tag cloud for communities with lots of hashtags
Explore menu, with feeds and topics, separate from the Community menu
Translation function for posts written in languages you can't understand, uses any LibreTranslate server.
Advanced search filters on /communities table
Show poll results without voting
Nicer formatting on quotes
Consistent image thumbnail size in post teasers in compact mode
Communities list shows number of active users not subscriber count
PWA uses instance logo instead of default PieFed one
Slideshow doesn't bug out after a few dozen photos like it used to
Improve search results by weighting post titles more than bodies
Mods can set nsfw and nsfl the same way they set flair - with a popup menu in the post list
Import saved posts & comments and user notes when importing settings
NSFW-specific functionality, like R18 agreement upon first visit, video auto-play.

Posting

New type of post - events, with federation
Remind me about a post or comment in the future
Markdown parsing improvements - em-dashes, link syntax, subscript
Preview markdown while writing a top-level comment
Support CMYK images without mangling their colorspace when resizing

Admin & backend

Log in with LDAP creds stored in LDAP server (in addition to earlier LDAP functionality which stores creds in LDAP server). Helpful for Yunohost-based deployments (coming soon).
Modlog filtering
Account passwords stored in Lemmy format (bcrypt) can be used to log in (this is in preparation for the day when Lemmy instances are converted to PieFed instances)
Instance shutdown process - tell all other instances to stop federating immediately.
Restrict NSFW access in specified countries (e.g. UK)
See which users share an IP address
Really Simple Licensing
When a new community is made a post is automatically created in !newcommunities@lemmy.world
Automatically add remote communities mentioned in !newcommunities@lemmy.world

API

Automatically-updating Swagger docs to ease frontend development
Include crosspost count in Post json
Return thumbnail width/height information with post
post/replies endpoint which returns nested JSON, better than comments/list

Federation

Federate flair changes properly
When blocking an instance, block it in more places e.g. community lists in sidebar
Context property on comments and posts to make it easier for NodeBB to backfill
FEP 3b86 - activity intents

PieFed.social news

When a.gup.pe shut down, the photography group became https://piefed.social/c/photography which is doing well. Snoopy, Skavau and wjs018 are now admins in addition to rimu.
https://crust.piefed.social/ is our new testing and development instance.
