Because of Americentrism, I swear I see more US news than I see of the rest of the world combined, it would be amazing to have a mute button for that

I think we should be careful to not have too many filters, maybe it can be limited to:

NSFW, NSFL, US Politics, Politics, AI Content

Suggestion: The ability to view Tags the same way we van view Topics (piefed.social)
 

A core part of the Fediverse is decentralisation, ideally we don't just have eg. one bit Privacy community Instead we have a bunch, none with more than ~20% market share, or something along those lines.

With this is mind, it would be great if users subscribe to Topics than specific communities and have this be a big driving force of what you see in your feed.

aka. If I'm subscribed to the Topic/Tag "Privacy" and a new community on a small instance is created that fits that topic, I'd start seeing those posts on my feed.

This already exists somewhat with https://piefed.social/topic/tech/privacy but does it effect your feed? and how do new ones appear and grow?

Perhaps tags can be used?

Nice!! Great to see.

Suggestion: We already have NSWF content filter, and AI Content filter is planned for 1.2, could we also add US Politics or Politics as filters?

I personally won't use them, but I know some people are overwhelmed with all the doom and gloom in the media, and would rather not use social media because of it.

It's good to see some communities spread out over multiple instances, it's core to decentralisation.

I quite like the idea of Topics like what PieFed offers, ( https://piefed.social/topic/tech/privacy )

Where you have one place you can see all posts relating the the topic you're interested in regardless of the instance.

ODROID might be an option

They're from South Korea, so likely better quality than cwwk

I've never tried meds, I consider it every now and then but I function alright without them, despite it being a struggle

It's rare that I'm not juggling doing 6 different things at the same time.

I feel if I remember to do something I need to immediately get that ball rolling, else I will completely forget about it, and end up half doing dozens of things.

Currently in the process of looking up a new hairstyle, updating my immich server, making a PieFed post, getting ready for and appointment and probably some other things I'll remember in a bit

I come from South Africa, I've driven at least 200,000km in my life, the first time I put Fuel in a car was at the age of 30 after temporarily moving to Europe.

'Petrol Attendants' often also wash your windscreen while you fuel up

Dutch National-Railway Opens Glamping for New Students (nieuws.ns.nl)

English Translation:

A tent at the station
National-Railway (NS) is setting up ten tents on the upper floor of Utrecht Central Station. Each tent has a made-up bed, and NS will provide everything you need. This includes breakfast, drinks, earplugs, pleasant music and even a bicycle for the daily trip to the city centre for the rest of the UIT programme. So the students hardly need to bring anything themselves, except a charger and toothbrush.

A pleasant start to every morning At a real Glamping site, you wake up feeling refreshed, and Glamping Utrecht Centraal is no exception. Every morning, there is a pleasant breakfast where the glamping guests can meet each other. After that, the students can easily and punctually continue on to all the activities of the UIT week in the city. With a place to sleep at the station, train delays are no longer a valid excuse for being late.

Sign up via Instagram This Glamping is intended for first-year students who come from far away and will be studying in Utrecht from September onwards. NS is looking for adventurous guests with a good story and a fully charged power bank. You can sign up from today by sending a motivation letter (e.g. via video) to the NS Instagram account. This is possible until 4 August 2025.

Growing the Fediverse by sharing links (lemmy.zip)
 

When you want to share a image you found on PieFed, don't download and share the image, just share the PieFed link.
This way the people or person you're sharing it with might discover PieFed without you pushing it.

It also works great like this https://www.reddit.com/r/AskTheWorld/comments/1md2npo/what_is_the_best_power_outlet_and_why
(does not work with old.reddit )

This will also improve SEO, and PieFed etc. might start popping up on search engine results more, and people will start to see and trust the Fediverse more.

Why is the sub name the way that it is? This will confuse potential new members (piefed.social)
 

I wanted to post to this sub but couldn't find it because the name is fucked.

I get it's a shitpoty sub, but can we at least keep the name relevant.
