Ah, I understand now. Yeah, you can’t follow and have it show up in the normal feed in the same way that Mastodon treats original posts/replies.
Although, it would make sense to have a followed individual’s posts show up in the home feed. Right now I just treat the “Notifications” section of PieFed as its own feed. I don’t actually have the notifications enabled at the OS level so I’m not getting alerts anytime there’s some activity.

PieFed actually gives you tons of options for following. I can follow users to get notifications when they post. I can subscribe to posts for when there are new replies. I can even subscribe to individual comments for when there are replies to those.

The only issue with PieFed, for now, is that you can’t currently follow and then see all of the posts from a Mastodon user. Only the replies/posts to a Community that can be seen on this side of the fediverse will show up in that case.

Some apps or even fediverse instances like PieFed can help with the fragmentation of communities. In PieFed’s case, you can create or follow “Feeds” which combine multiple communities into 1. It also combines anything that’s been cross-posted so that you can see the comments from any crosspost all in the same place.

Thanks I’ll try pinging them here in this thread… we’ll see how well this works.

Thanks for setting up this PeerTube instance! I just had a quick question (I’m not sure how this appears on mastodon for you):

Looking through the rules:

No videos containing violence, sexually explicit content, death or abuse in whatever form. For clarification, does this mean I couldn’t upload videos that I recorded while playing various games because it has a form of death/violence in it?

I’m thinking along the lines of popular games like No Man’s Sky, Clair Obscur, Baldur’s Gate 3, etc.

I get that hosting videos comes with a lot of risk, I wouldn’t want to try to take on hosting video content like this myself. I’m just trying to figure out how strict the rule on “violence” would be. Is this intended to ban any sort of gore, or would it apply even to something like stop motion/LEGO videos?

Edit: typo

Turning when you’re riding on a jetski and about to be in a head on collision.

Most people will panic and let off the gas to turn, but the jet ski isn’t going to be able to turn much unless you’re actually giving it some throttle.

Unfortunate that they announced this immediately after the sale finished. I went ahead and grabbed a copy. Thanks for the heads up!
