Big deals, omg

  • Mods can move a post, with replies and votes, to another community. The change federates to other instances (except Lemmy, for now. I’ve been in discussion with devs from NodeBB and Lemmy about how this will work, they are on board).
  • Upload video files while creating a video post - no external host needed. Admin setting to limit who can do this (to save space).
  • Realtime chat - conversation immediately updates on screen when a new PM arrives.

More good stuff

  • Author-deleted posts are still visible to them and anyone with the url. No more loss of high-value comments with the OP deletes.
  • Search filters - nsfw and minimum post score
  • Improve speed of cross-posting form on mobile
  • Emoji tokens like :blush: can be used in post or comment body. No GUI support yet.
  • Admin setting to disable local copies of remote images - good for single-user instances
  • Replying to a comment marks associated inbox item as read
  • Updated HPT-Fruits theme
  • 196 no longer excluded from default community import
  • Remove unused community rating feature
  • Remove unused instance vote weight feature
  • Remove ineffective þ to ‘th’ replacement
  • Improved accessibility - better contrast, fixed many incorrectly-used aria-labels
  • Updated translations - Basque, Chinese, Japanese

API:

  • Admins can ban/unban users through the API. piefed.world was maintaining custom code for this, hopefully it’ll make their version upgrades faster.

Bugs fixed

  • PMs
  • Markdown parsing
  • Speed up loading of profile pages for admin users
  • Friendica post parsing
  • Passkeys login UX tweak

    And what does the change log entry mean practically? People who type th will have their input changed to “th” before posting?

    It means that it used to be replaced when viewing a comment with a thorn on PieFed. The comment still contains a thorn in the database. With the update, it is no longer replaced.

    For example, here is this post from a PieFed instance that is still on v1.4.0, which just shows th everywhere. On the other hand, here is this post from a PieFed instance running the v1.5.0 update, showing the thorn.

      Okay cool, thanks. So then that begs the question, in what way was this replacement ineffective?

        The user in question just switched to a different unicode character that looks pretty much identical to the thorn symbol. AFAIK, we didn’t actually get any complaints from Icelanders, but we weren’t happy with the implementation due to its potential impact on that community. At the end of the day, we decided that this is a user problem where bans and blocks should be used instead of putting something explicitly in the code.
