Post flair in PieFed

flair

Each community in PieFed can have it's own set of "flair" options that posters can attach to their posts. Clicking on a flair will filter the community to only show posts with that flair so they function as a filtering mechanism as well as a visual identifier.

Community moderators can manage the flair that are available in their communities:

flair mod area

When creating posts, expand the 'more options' area to assign one or more flair to your post:

assigning flair

See it in action at piefed.social/c/piefed_meta

Flair doesn't federate yet but it will in coming days.

Re: Post flair in PieFed

@rimu@piefed.social interesting, how does this differ from tags?

Edit: I see the other post you made. I'm interested in this but hoping you'll write up an FEP for this so it is more easily implemented by others.

Yep, I'll document it in some way. A FEP seems overkill as it's really just adding a bit more data onto Actors and Activities, not a big deal.

Re: Post flair in PieFed

I think the FEP process is overly complicated for what it is, but it's definitely helpful if you have multiple implementors on board.

The easiest (but least accessible) solution is to document something on your own site, but that lacks the social proof that a finalized FEP has.

Just some food for thought 🙂 I'm looking to create an FEP for cross posting and would love to get the entire threadiverse dev community involved.

I didn't even realize Lemmy doesn't have flairs until now and now I want it so much.

Heck yeah! I've been trying to replicate /r/FloatingIsFun's post flairs for years on !FloatingIsFun@fedia.io . PieFed makes everything look better. I hope Lemmy and Mbin add these post flairs too. Mbin tags get halfway there but it's not the same.

I did the DB structure changes at the same time as the ones needed for community flair as they're quite similar. Might be able to do the rest tomorrow.

I do miss user flairs. I hope Lemmy adds then too eventually.

It's great that Piefed is adding them, but as long as Lemmy is the largest bulk of users it won't really be all that impactful. Flairs lose their utility (or fun, depending on the type and context) when only like 1% of the users can see them.

How will piefed's flairs federate to other fedi software? Given that piefed already has post tags, what is the difference between tags and flair?

Tags, aka hashtags, are instance-wide (not just in a community) and interoperate with Mastodon, Pixelfed, Mbin. Anyone can make a new hashtag and they are completely unmoderated.

Flairs are a limited list determined by each community's mods and are only used in that community. They will federate with other PieFed instances and with Lemmy (when they finish coding what they're calling "tags", a really unfortunate choice of name).
