You cannot be therious!
Thanks for the info!
I made a test post on Lemmy in Playground, to see if the crossover affects formatting.
Moderator / ownership levels?
Do all mods have equal power over a community? Or is there a "supermod" / "owner" / "creator" who has more power than the others?
E.g. if I make someone else a mod of a community I created, can they do everything I can? Even remove me as a mod?
I think it might also happen when you have italics, or bold, immediately followed by punctuation.
Or is that only when the original post is done on Lemmy and then viewed on PieFed? I'll have to try to find an example.
I thought it also happened with italics , but testing now, it seems OK:
And there is that text formatting bug! Trying to have bold formatting in two different places ("always" and "all") in the same sentence: PieFed says no! :D
Thanks for the info.
So I guess this means in Piefed I'm always missing out on seeing stickies in all communities, not just the one I mod. :/
Issues with stickies
In my community [email protected] , I've made two posts sticky (the "Welcome" post and the "Free, legal movies" post) using my Piefed mod account, but:
How do I get them both displayed at the top in both PieFed and Lemmy? Or is this a bug?
I've added it here https://piefed.social/post/992414
It's working now. Not perfect but still a good tool (once I worked out I needed to click on "Prices" even for free streaming :) ).
Cool, thanks!
And, uh, did you take it personal?
It's also on legit free streaming site Fawesome
Can't wait to see how much it inspired Kickpuncher...
Re Triple B movies, a lot of them seem to be on Tubi and Plex (at least here in Mexico).
E.g. the first, Malibu Express:
Unfortunately, I just keep getting this error (before even trying anything):

Just watched Hard Ticket to Hawaii. That. was. AWESOME.
Gotta see more of these Triple B movies.

New community - [email protected]
Hi, martial arts movie fans!
As this community will disappear on 1st July 2025 with the closure of its host instance (lemm.ee), I've created a new community.
It's for all kinds of action movies, including martial arts movies.
(If eventually there is enough momentum for a distinct martial arts movie community, that can be created, too.)
Feel free to come post and comment there about martial arts movies all you want!
How to federate a new community?
I created a new community on PieFed ( [email protected] ) and tried using https://lemmy-federate.com/ to get federated across other instances, but get an "instance is not registered" error.
Apparently, there are... issues?
https://lemmy.ca/post/45479147
So wondering about other ways to get federated.
Thanks.
Inspiration for Kickpuncher?
I think I might have found one possible source of inspiration for the Kickpuncher franchise: Future Kick (1991), starring Don "The Dragon" Wilson.
The Community wiki page on Kickpuncher says CyberTracker (a different Don Wilson movie which I haven't seen yet).
Previously, I always assumed the inspiration was Albert Pyun movies like Cyborg and Nemesis.
What do you folks think?
How to crosspost a "non-link" post?
I'm trying out starting a new community.
I wanted to crosspost some posts I already made elsewhere, e.g. https://piefed.social/post/984528 / https://lemmy.ca/post/46999890
But there's no crosspost button.
Comments from same communities shown divided?
E.g. https://piefed.social/post/977961
The post is on [email protected].
Comments (at time of writing) are divided into sections.
Aren't all the comments on [email protected]? Why two sections?
https://piefed.social/u/[email protected] explained: the recent post is a repost of a link first posted months ago. So the comment sections are:
Thanks!
Spoiler formatting? Code formatting?
Testing and wondering about spoiler formatting and code formatting in posting and commenting on PieFed.
All of the below was written based on trying things out and seeing what it looks like in the Preview window . But experience has shown me that the Preview window isn't always the same as the final result, e.g. the block quote function does not display in the Preview window but does work in the final result.
So please excuse me if any of points 1-6 do not jibe with the final results shown after I click the "Publish" button.
Ah, so I can do a spoiler on PieFed. (I've gone back to Lemmy when I wanted to do some posts that needed spoiler protection.) Just not with a GUI button, but by inserting the relevant Markdown codes manually at the start and at the end of what you want to hide.

China’s AI industry has drawn increasing media attention as its progress generates excitement and trepidation about a global future fueled by Chinese AI. One dimension of this success is the ability of Chinese actors, such as DeepSeek, to circumvent U.S. restrictions on the export of critical technology. According to Reuters, a U.S. official claimed this week that DeepSeek had evaded export controls to gain access to American AI chips. Earlier this month, The Wall Street Journal reported that Chinese engineers transported hard drives with hundreds of gigabytes of AI training data in suitcases to Malaysia in order to bypass U.S. restrictions by using American chips outside of China. But the flipside to this story is how U.S. export controls have encouraged the flourishing of China’s domestic AI ecosystem.
How to "get posts into Piefed"?
Not sure of the right words for what I mean. I'm still new to the Fediverse and even newer to PieFed.
I'm now 99% of the time in PieFed (my instance: piefed.social ) as opposed to Lemmy. Often I'll visit a community and see zero or almost zero posts. But if I open the same community in Lemmy (my instance: lemmy.ca) there are loads of posts.
An example I just noticed: [email protected]
Thanks.
New notification style issues
The notification page layout has changed and there are some issues for me.
Possible factors on my end:
The previous "All" notification screen was clear, compact, had the same height for each notification and only took one click to open anything.
Now the notification heights are variable, some truly huge (as it includes the whole comment being replied to, even the markdown for the URLs of images), replies to comments require an additional click to access, and the "Reply details" line overlaps the notification title. (At least for me, not sure if it's like that for everyone.) EDIT: Also, the nice, immediate indicator of a red dot for an unread notification is now hidden for replies to comments, until clicking "Reply details". ANOTHER EDIT: I just spent a minute hunting down one rema

How the Grateful Dead built the internet (history of "the Well")
Before the internet took over the world, psychedelic rock band The Grateful Dead were among the first – and most influential – forces at the dawn of online communication.
In the 1980s, years before the World Wide Web, a virtual online community emerged called the Well (the Whole Earth 'Lectronic Link). Centred on the San Francisco Bay Area of California, the Well not only thrived in its own right, but proved to be one of the most influential factors in the birth of the internet as we know it today. And its long life was in large part thanks to fans of the Grateful Dead.

Words of the Week: “Being Traveled” (被旅游, bèi lǚyóu)
On June 4, Safeguard Defenders published a new report on the practice of "forced travel," by which politically targeted individuals are removed from their home regions during sensitive periods. The report, Holidays in Handcuffs, is presented satirically in the form of a glossy travel magazine.
"Bei Zi Yuan" or "being volunteered" is one example which is used to ridicule some government departments that force people to do something while alleging they "do it out of their own will."
Ars chats with marine biologist David Shiffman about the film’s legacy—both good and bad.
Today marks the 50th anniversary of Jaws, Steven Spielberg's blockbuster horror movie based on the bestselling novel by Peter Benchley. We're marking the occasion with a tribute to this classic film and its enduring impact on the popular perception of sharks, shark conservation efforts, and our culture at large.
(Many spoilers below.)
Jaws tells the story of Chief Martin Brody (Roy Scheider), the new police chief for Amity Island, a New England beach town and prime summer tourist attraction. But that thriving industry is threatened by a series of shark attacks, although the local mayor, Larry Vaughn (Murray Hamilton), initially dismisses the possibility, ridiculing the findings of visiting marine biologist Matt Hooper (Richard Dreyfuss). The attacks keep escalating and the body count grows, until the town hires a grizzled shark hunter named Quint (Robert Shaw) to hunt down and kill the great white shark, with the help of Br
