It is indeed. Even perhaps for users of Lemmy, when the community is hosted on a PieFed instance.

It’s the best of all worlds: some instance admins have disabled them, and PieFed offers CSS to filter out their display for an individual user. It’s nice to have choices - i.e. it is there for those who want them, and they can be not there for those who do not (but if you want other people to not have the option to do it to you, then that gets back to moving to an instance that chooses that for its members).
Oh, also PieFed allows mods to disable them on a per-community basis. I am not sure how viewing posts from a Lemmy instance would interrelate there - usually the host instance the community is on controls such matters, but I don’t truly know for certain that it works that way.

11·3 days agoUsing words like “deanonymized” and “pseudonymity” probably doesn’t help, either (well, it helps them).
Anyway, bold of us to presume that they will even care about accuracy prior to deployment.

You are not a moron - it’s both tech familiarity and lifestyle choice. You were intuitively picking that up!:-)

4·6 days agoA lot of this “configuration” type stuff you have to do with the web interface, which isn’t bad since you only do it once and then you can use the app daily after that and the configuration options will follow over to it.
Also, you probably will find yourself browsing All less and less, if you enjoy using the categories of communities, Topic Feeds that are user-customizeable and shareable. Lemmy mostly forces you into those by providing little alternative (just Subscribed and Local), but PieFed opens up while new vistas.
e.g. for low-volume communities you can ask for a notification to be sent upon entry new post, and for high-volume ones you can even fully unsubscribe, which still leaves the community just a click away. e.g. I unsubscribed from most news and politics communities to lessen the amount that they flood my feed with, but I can click News and Politics and they are all right there waiting for me in that other Feed (unless I fully block them, of course).
It’s a whole new set of workflows that you can play with, to customize how you would like to receive your content!! Full disclosure: whole those are present in the latest PieFed API, I do not use 3rd party apps so don’t keep up with the state of which ones have which features, and it’s possible that most apps haven’t updated themselves yet to include all of the above features. Still, it’s good to know what options you have available, so that you don’t feel stuck when something doesn’t work the way you hoped!:-)

The Fediverse both sucks (aka imperfect) currently and at the same time is the only hope for the future. Reddit, Xhitter, and Facebook will and even can never get any better. The Fediverse is our only hope.

It’s the cycle of civilizations. People live in easy times, so refuse to learn anything at all, then create hard times, which toughens people up, who work hard to create better times, rinse and repeat.

Put a feature request into the codeberg? The devs are extremely responsive, and as you say it’s so close, it might be an easy add.
PieFed allows this to be set for your user account, which should thereafter work for any app that supports PieFed.
See screenshots in https://piefed.social/c/piefed_meta/p/1626487/more-search-options-nsfw-and-minimum-post-score.Edit: okay I forgot entirely how this works (it’s a search filter, not a user profile one), but that post explains it regardless.
