When you want to share a image you found on PieFed, don’t download and share the image, just share the PieFed link.
This way the people or person you’re sharing it with might discover PieFed without you pushing it.

It also works great like this https://www.reddit.com/r/AskTheWorld/comments/1md2npo/what_is_the_best_power_outlet_and_why
(does not work with old.reddit )

This will also improve SEO, and PieFed etc. might start popping up on search engine results more, and people will start to see and trust the Fediverse more.

    Yeah but piefed sucks. Their developers are just technocrat wannabes who hard code their software against federation from communist spaces like hexbear.

        Wow I did not know this. Really puts the “Fed” in Piefed LMAO.

        Now I’m even more disappointed that a dbzer0 governance post regarding a sister Piefed instance was so popular…

        Piefed was originally a personal project rimu coded for themselves. They have since taken quite a few aspects that were originally hardcoded and made them optional instead. If someone asked him to do that with this particular thing, it will probably happen as well.

          For this particular issue, perhaps not.

          But the fact that both me and you are using PieFed instances and are participating in a comment chain started by a hexbear user demonstrates that there isn’t much ‘hard-coding’ against other sites.

          The commit that @davel@lemmy.ml referenced is for initial database setup. It’s not an unreasonable default list to populate the ‘banned_instances’ table, and is trivial for admins to change after setup is complete.
