A merge community function.... ooo

Mods can move a post, with replies and votes, to another community. The change federates to other instances (except Lemmy, for now[...]

Sounds awesome! One question, until Lemmy properly supports this, how will it look on the Lemmy side when a post is moved? Will it still be visible in the original community, in both the old and new communities, or will the post just disappear?

It'll disappear from the old community and appear in the new one, with all the same comments and votes as before. On all instances.

Amazing work thanks.

Is the ability to crosspost text posts on the priority list for coming releases?

Ah, okay. That's great. Might be a dumb question, but what did you mean by "change federates to other instances (except Lemmy[...]" then?

PieFed is moving fast, I like it. Thanks for all your work!

Oh wow, this is great for future programmatic migration!

Congrats on the new release!

Yes, although it's a long list...

Well done!

As a new lemmy user whats the killer features I'm missing out on by not being on Piefed? curious

Sorry I misread your earlier question, missing out the "until Lemmy supports...".

From Lemmy's side it'll look like the post is still in the old community.

Features - PieFed

Nice things about PieFed: There are two other options for reddit-style federated forums, Lemmy and Kbin (recently forked to Mbin, which shows some promise). Having used them both extensively I came away unsatisfied, for a variety of reasons. It is unlikely that their trajectory will change in future, either. However we all owe those projects […]

PieFed (join.piefed.social)

Scroll down to the Differences between Lemmy and PieFed section.

Thanks for clarification, makes more sense now. Will everyone still see each other's comments when a post is moved but for Lemmy users it's still in the old community?

@rimu@piefed.social is there any documentation about the move post feature? It has existed in the mod panel on mbin for as long as it exists, but it does not federate and it would be great if we could implement it in a way that is working piefed, lemmy and nodebb

Seems like a pretty big update to me as a video creator 🫡

I just did a quick test-move and here is the json that was federated out:

{  
  "actor": "https://crust.piefed.social/u/wjs018",  
  "cc": [  
    "https://piefed.wjs018.xyz/c/testing"  
  ],  
  "id": "https://crust.piefed.social/activities/move/l7NaOQha12PQyYv",  
  "object": "https://crust.piefed.social/c/testing/p/108274/this-post-will-be-moved",  
  "origin": "https://piefed.wjs018.xyz/c/testing",  
  "target": "https://crust.piefed.social/c/test",  
  "to": [  
    "https://www.w3.org/ns/activitystreams#Public"  
  ],  
  "type": "Move"  
}  

For context, this was moved from !testing@piefed.wjs018.xyz to !test@crust.piefed.social. The author, @wjs018@crust.piefed.social, is a moderator of the community that the post was initially posted to. I did find a bug in this process, the post flair, which should be community-specific, was moved as well when it should have been stripped. So, I created an issue for tracking that fix.

Is the feature to move posts from MBin instances supported?

My understanding is that the mbin move feature doesn't federate out at the moment, but I wouldn't be surprised if it happens soon as there are more platforms that support it.
