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.

thanks for the quick response. I added it to our issue tracking the federation of mod actions (mbinOrg/mbin/#248)

Awesome!

Fantastic - you are so incredibly dedicated!!

One suggestion: for posterity add to "No more loss of high-value comments with the OP deletes." the constraint that the post must remain bookmarked by someone or else it will get deleted (it is not automatic otherwise).

@rimu@piefed.social

There is something about this link structure that is not getting translated to allow me to see the referenced post on PieFed.social.

Great work. Thank you to everyone involved.

Well, this looks pretty cool.

Yes, that's the idea.

On piefed.social I've got that set so that only I can upload videos and I'll use that for when I do demos of new features. I really don't want to pay to store other people's videos forever, and I expect most PieFed instances will be the same.

I expect this will mostly be used by people running an instance for themselves or a few friends.

Yes.

Although there are a lot of ways this could go wrong, expect some breakage until kinks are ironed out.

Great!

Oh yes, weird!

Yes, I'll probably be removing that constraint pretty soon though.

Author-deleted posts are still visible to them and anyone with the url. No more loss of high-value comments with the OP deletes.

I feel that this violates the privacy of the users and their rights over their content. I know that posting on the internet makes it to be there forever, but still it should be an option to permanently delete a post. I suppose a user can still modify a post to delete its content.
