Maybe that filter is the one missing, if that’s the case, that will be changed soon, as it always has been for every time a similar issue was raised
the thorn character filter
196 and other memes communities not being federated by default
the “this filter” being configurable
My personal stance is that Piefed has several features that Lemmy has been lacking for more than a year, and that prevent the Threadiverse from growing
multicommunities
onboarding process asking new joiners what they are into
crossposts comments consolidation
communities moderation features
posts and user flairs
keyword filters
None of the Piefed users ever said Piefed was perfect, that the code was elegant, or that there were no issues with filters such as the the three examples I listed above.
What we see from time to time is people spreading literal misinformation about Piefed, saying that those filters can’t be disabled by an admin (they can), and/or that a fork is needed to do so (it’s not) .
That’s why I created that post, because for whatever reason Piefed seems to now have haters, which seems counterproductive as it has the unique features listed above.
I personally would prefer people to say “Lemmy is fine, PieFed is fine too, both can operate with each other, my personal preference is X” rather insulting Piefed or Lemmy devs.
Having features does not make it good software. It remains true that the code quality is abysmal and there ARE hardcoded blocks based on what the dev(s) dislike.

I hope I am not spreading any misinformation. If any of my complaints is factually incorrect, please point it out.
The version from 10 years ago, yeah. It’s here https://github.com/reddit-archive/reddit.
There’s a modern and production-ready open source alternative. It’s called Lemmy. You can find the source here https://github.com/lemmynet/lemmy
Lemmy is missing several features that Piefed has had for more than a year now: https://piefed.zip/post/1008300#comment_3561702
Did you put the right URL? That URL links to a comment about the 4-chan image blocking and reputation loss.
If this is the feature you consider to be missing from Lemmy, then yes, please let it remain missing. I definitely don’t want anything like it.
