New features

  • Shared blocklists - these are like feeds except instead of listing communities to join it lists people to block. To to Account -> Blocklists to find this feature. Changes by the blocklist author effect all the people who subscribe to the list, causing them to block the list members. They federate, so you can subscribe to blocklists on other instances.
  • Edit comments inline, without loading a separate page - wjs018
  • Fediverse statistics at https://piefed.social/statistics
  • 2-factor authentication (TOTP) - can be added to your account in the ‘Security’ page in your settings.

For admins

  • Auto-ban based on the bans that instances you choose, with keyword matching on the ban reason. Go to /admin/users/auto_ban. Try putting ‘piefed.social’ in as the instance and ‘spam’ as the keyword filter. It’ll cut down on the work involved in running your instance SO much.
  • Voting pattern graph on user profiles to help spot automated voting.
  • Reset the password of any user.
  • Lots of inauthentic behaviour reports for finding bots and serial downvoters, see /admin/votes and PM me for an instructional video. It’s a lot to take in but the video will explain it all.

API

  • edit matrix user id when saving user profile data.
  • scheduled post endpoints - wjs018

    exactly what am i ‘missing out’ on by blocking people who spam furry porn all over the fediverse? or similar activities that a ‘normie’ like me is not interested in viewing?

    and the problem is there are users who have multiple accounts on multiple instances specifically so they can’t get blocked by being on any one instance or any one account, because they are so determined for you to see their shitty awful content they spam.

    the problem is many users are malicious about this stuff and it would be great have a existing block list you could import. and there are so many communities here that are nothing more than pure toxic rhetoric and have no redeeming value to anyone outside of anyone who isn’t into their extremist/delusional beliefs.
