Over the last 3 weeks there have been significant contributions from h3ndrik and myself.
H3ndrik

Mod log which shows all moderator actions
-
The “Rational discourse toolkit” block in the bottom right is now optional - instance admins can turn it off in the settings.
-
Staff role - some admin tasks can be delegated to a supporting role which can do limited things. Which operations the supporting role can do can be controlled with checkboxes. This is nearly complete and just needs a bit more elbow grease.
-
A.gup.pe integration - These are a kind of basic community / group function built on Mastodon. About 20% of new posts on piefed.social are coming from Mastodon, mostly via a.gup.pe. These groups include
- https://piefed.social/c/photography@a.gup.pe
- https://piefed.social/c/actuallyautistic@a.gup.pe
- https://piefed.social/c/auscovid19@a.gup.pe
- https://piefed.social/c/fedibikes_de@a.gup.pe (German)
- https://piefed.social/c/classicalmusic@a.gup.pe
- https://piefed.social/c/histodons@a.gup.pe
- https://piefed.social/c/actuallyadhd@a.gup.pe
- https://piefed.social/c/bookstodon@a.gup.pe

Community wikis - moderators can create pages that serve as a resource for the community. Each page has revisions that can be reverted to. See a demo at https://join.piefed.social/vlog/piefed_wikis.mp4.
Thank you both for continuing to improve piefed, massively appreciate your efforts!
Impressive, thank you!
One small suggestion: For microblog content, maybe including [microblog] after rather than before the title would make content more digestible? Where something was posted from is, after all, rarely the most important feature of a post. :)
Yeah I’m finding it jarring, too. Perhaps an icon, instead…
