Just migrated from Lemmy to Piefed and I like it so far. Such a clean interface, more things I can configure to my liking, passkeys... :)

I even opened a couple issues over on Codeberg for things that I found.

Heeeelllooo. This is the new instance saying hello. :D

Other instances still reject this one due to some signing stuff, but as I have been told that is apparently temporary.

Hello from my PF instance!

You are federating to my little instance just fine!

Check out the public feeds on piefed.social (you can subscribe to remote feeds). Those are brilliant

Congrats.

Try the themes and see which one you like the most.

I personally love the Irix - 1998 theme.

Seems to be working fine federating with my little shop. Welcome!

One thing I still have to figure out is whether I can mark whole communities as read. I don't really want to open thousands of posts to no longer see what I have already read. :D

There is a user setting to hide posts you have interacted with (read/voted on).

Enable that and you won't see stuff you've already read when you refresh or open new pages.

You can find the posts you've read under Account > Read Posts if you are trying to track something down again. 😎

Also, I haven't found docs for the email configuration.

Those are in the .env file. For docker it's called .env.docker.

When you pull the repo from git, there's only env.docker.sample and env.sample. Copy env.docker.sample to .env.docker (don't forget the period) [you've likely already done this if using Docker].

The email settings are absent from the docker sample, but you can find them in the env.sample file. Not sure why that is, but I hope that helps!
