Hey all has moved today to !womensstuff@piefed.blahaj.zone can anyone help with a technical post about issues members might have? For example only the piefed app works with our instance, and there's bound to be other issues I've not thought of.
Apologies I'm in my 40s and awful with tech stuff, no clue at all.
I think just links for help communities where users can ask technical questions and find answers would be enough. You don't know what your followers use, they can read the piefed community from a lot of places, you can follow it from lemmy or mastodon, so it's possible that piefed related help would be irrelevant for most of them. These kind of technical writeups are common in "main" or "meta" communities, where you can assume your users are on the same instance as you, as the topic of the community is the instance.
For general piefed help there is !piefed_help@piefed.social
Great ideas! Is the normal piefed the same as the blahaj piefed?
Different instances of the same software. Like all lemmy instances running the same software, all piefed instances run the same piefed software. But it's not important.
The technology lemmy and piefed runs on is very interesting and complex, I don't like to overwhelm users with the tech gibberish when I explain what is lemmy. The important thing: they don't have to register everywhere, only at one instance, and they can read everything from that account, even if it's ona different instance. For mobilapp use voyager for lemmy, intetstellar for piefed and mbin.
Later when they explored the fediverse they will find the tech writeups organically, you don't have to start with that.
That's really helpful info thanks! On my voyager and jerboa apps I can only see this on the new comm. Any idea why?
Did you used piefed's new migration feature? I don't know how that works, but federation of old posts is slow. Wait max 1-2 days and they should show up, you just started the commomutiy today. New posts should show up instantly. Ask about this on piefed_help
You superstar! You've been really helpful thanks for your time
