Biometrics are fine as a /username/ but should not be used as a password - heard that on some security podcast ages ago and have kept with it since.

So basically I don’t use biometrics, lol

For the federating its a new kind of AP actor. I’ll be putting in a FEP for it in the near future, but its basically a “Group” that only cares about the “Following” collection.

You can see example json for the AP interactions here: https://codeberg.org/rimu/pyfedi/src/branch/main/docs/activitypub_examples/feeds

The AP interactions for a Feed are:

• Send a Follow request for a Feed
• Accept a Follow request (this is automatic for public feeds)
• Reject a Follow request (this is automatic for private feeds)
• Announce an Add of a Community to a Feed
• Announce a Remove of a Community from a Feed
• Send a Delete of a Feed to subscribers

Shapeshifter, magic, immortal. Boom.

Hello from PieFed!

Dominaria/Brothers War is what was coming out the first time i got into magic. That was a fun time.

Now im back after a couple year break and am getting caught back up on all the happenings.

It seems like standard is a lot healthier now, there is a huge range of good and fun decks, so im happy about that. Im not sure how the universes beyond cards being legal in standard will fly. Im willing to give it a shot but spiderman next to Elspeth or Squee just feels… weird to me.

I’m trying to get into some of the other formats as well, to keep my interest longer this time.

Thanks!

Piefed instances now do have a form of this for instance admins to populate new instances.

Admins can:
-pull the lemmyverse data and subscribe to a bunch of communities at once
or
-target a single lemmy or mbin instance, get the list of communities that instance hosts, and subscribe to a bunch of communities on that instance.

Both have some tunable settings to allow admins control over how many communities are followed.

Its not an end-user thing, but it should help with setting up new instances and them not being so ‘empty’.

edit: typo

Yeah I’m just getting back into MTG after a couple year break. Getting caught up on all the fun deck tech is great for Xmas break.

Tablet for me is mostly comfortable media consumption. Especially when the wife and kid are sleeping or when traveling.

My primary use for smartwatch is media controls when running, so I don’t have to pull out my phone to play/pause/skip tracks etc.

I’ve also found that it’s handy to use for timers for cooking.

This code: https://codeberg.org/rimu/pyfedi/src/branch/main/app/api/alpha

Its mostly freamon and rimu working on that part. Iirc its meant to be lemmy api compatible, but i think there are some adaptations needed to accomadate the piefed way differences.

Freamon got a fork of a lemmy app to sort-of work back in september (https://matrix.to/#/!NVUzKiFppMtECaxHQm:matrix.org/$KJqJfus8DVy-B64AC8uWEQ9oiGsRA04AReRF-05nQYA?via=matrix.org&via=tchncs.de&via=jeena.net) so the alpha api stuff has been coming in since then.

no apps yet. work on an alpha API is in progress though, so soon™ hehe

not a fork, its its own code base built from scratch.

Yes. I added that myself a couple months ago 😎

edit: you have to export your lemmy user settings. that comes down as a .json file. Then you make a piefed user, and there is an import settings in the piefed user profile.

it will also attempt to import any blocks/bans of users/communities you had in the lemmy settings. But if the instance of piefed you are on does not ‘l\know’ about those users/communities it wont add them to bans list. But of course that means the community in question is not federated to the instance you are on, so half-dozen-of-one-six-of-the-other really.

Same. I loved reddit before it went to h*ll. Now I run my own PieFed instance just for myself and even if the other devs give up on the project I know it will still be there. Cause it’s mine

Oooh, good point. That would mess with Lemmyverse data, which would be annoying for discovery

“Six Head”

Ah, yeah fair point there.

I follow hashtags I like, then see who the people are who use those tags, then follow those people.

I find that I discover people that way I would not have found otherwise.

It’s worked well for me so far. I wasn’t a twitter person before though, so I don’t know if I have the experience you did for comparison.
