PieFed 1.8 is released - multi-image posts, reposter filter, new admin tools

codeberg.org English

  • Gallery posts, which is an image post with multiple images in it, compatible with Mastodon and Pixelfed. Check out this example from Mastodon.

  • “Reposters” as a separate thing from “Bots” with the same Show and Hide options for filtering that bots have. Reposters are more targeted, with higher quality content than true bots and often have a human operator writing comments. However many people find this inauthentic so now they can be filtered out. More details

  • /c/microblogs can show posts from people you’re following OR all posts.

  • Recent hashtags shown on the home page sidebar.

  • Support for receiving posts with jpegxl images.

  • Communities can have a default hashtag for new posts - posters can edit or remove it if they want.

For admins:

  • Option to manually approve posts by new accounts, to cut down on spam while having open registrations (no approval on the new account). This will let people dip their toes in without waiting.

  • Easily contact other instance admins, see /admin/instances

  • Vote manipulation detection tools for simple sockpuppets and complex coordinated voting networks. See /admin/voting

  • Serial downvoter report showing who made lots of downvotes against a single person in a short time.

  • Other bot detection tools - e.g. easily spot unnatural runs of very quick post creation.

  • Display list of alts on user profiles to more easily investigate activity by alts.

  • Filter emoji with keywords rather than importing absolutely everything - this will speed up the emoji reaction dialog.

  • Identify instances likely to be used by spammers in future. See /admin/instances?filter=liability

  • Microblog posts with no replies can be automatically deleted - set the MICROBLOG_CONTENT_RETENTION environment variable to how many months you want to keep them for.

To upgrade from 1.7.x

git pull  
git checkout v1.8.x

Then,

./deploy.sh or ./deploy-docker.sh

    Catodon 26.9.0 stable released!

    catodon.rocks English

    Catodon 26.9.0 - what’s new

    • Multi-server accounts - you can now sign in or sign up on any other Misskey- or Mastodon-API server, not just this one. Works with Pixelfed GoToSocial, Akkoma, and the Misskey family too.
    • Customizable timelines - pick what fills your Home slot and arrange up to 9 tabs from Following, your other accounts, forums, RSS, antennas, lists, and more. Syncs across devices.
    • New media timeline with a masonry layout.
    • Quote posts that are compatible with Mastodon’s implementation, federated via FEP-044f.
    • Hashtag following - follow tags natively, federated, with a hover preview and Custom feed support.
    • PeerTube video streaming - remote PeerTube videos now stream over HLS instead of just linking out.
    • Blogs got content warnings and per-blog privacy settings, plus a raw HTML mode in the editor.
    • Right-to-left language support - the whole UI now mirrors properly for RTL languages.
    • ALTCHA added as the default self-hosted, privacy-friendly captcha option.
    • A big security pass: closed several SSRF holes (URL previews, RSS fetching, JSON-LD verification), fixed a password-reset bug that let a moderator reset another admin’s password, tightened 2FA/TOTP replay protection, patched a few data-visibility leaks, and pulled in ~90 hardening fixes adapted from upstream Sharkey. Nothing here was known to be actively exploited, but if you’re running your own instance, update promptly.
    • Plus a long tail of smaller fixes: broken federation edge cases (forums, blog permalinks, PeerTube lookups), a mention-notification race, sharper remote media, and assorted UI polish.
