PieFed blocks !enoughmuskspam@lemmy.world (and a few other communities) by default. At the time of writing this post, you can search for the comm on many PieFed instances and you will not find it.

The block is only by default. The admin can choose to override it. Many big instances have done so, including

  • piefed.social
  • piefed.world
  • piefed.zip

    It was not meant to be as harsh as it came across.  And yes, this function is for logged out users, was just trying to show that it ends up messy.

    I assume you’re one of the devs? I can delete the comment if you want, but I think it would be worth fixing sooner than later instead of just adding features. A lot of the mechanisms are a bad idea even if it wasn’t a mess but you do you.

    that it shouldn’t matter what client someone uses

    There are a few implementation issues and incompatibilities I saw but not too confident in my knowledge of the protocols to say good fixes. Not sure what the Judas comment means.

      I’ve contributed code to PieFed in the past, but nothing recently. If someone comes across something I’ve written and finds it amateurish, then that’s a reasonable assessment. There’s no need for you to delete your comment, as I’m not a fan of features over fixes approach either.

      The “People’s Front of Judea” remark relates to a Monty Python sketch from the The Life Of Brian (youtube link) - it’s a swipe at leftist infighting (swap out “The only people we hate more than the Romans is the Judean’s People’s Front” with “The only site we hate more than Reddit is PieFed” I suppose).

        The OP linked to the function with the ‘enoughmuskspam’ filter in it: it’s here (line 352 if it doesn’t auto-scroll down).

        It’s a bug with the latest update that has already been patched. Not sure if piefed.ca has updated their instance in response to it, but this isn’t even completely right as lemmy.ca was still returning results for “piracy” in the search.

        “So since a few hours ago, when I deployed v1.6, many communities no longer show up in the search. the private value should be true or false but really old communities have it as null”

        “Yes, null should be fixed to true or false. I originally added the private column many months ago, with no default value. So now the data is all over the place.”

        (excerpts from the matrix chat)

        OP made some assumptions, got excited and just found a bug.

          Not the first time that bug’s reared its head either.

          Example from here:

          'nsfw': post.nsfw if post.nsfw is not None else False

          A meme about PieFed half-arsing database migrations might not be funny, but would at least be valid, and less wearisome than OP’s post.
