The onboarding will offer you a lot of topics to sign up to. These contain communities in them. The idea is to populate subscription feeds, however it can leave some users with a lot of undesired subscriptions if they click too many.
If you wish to roll this back. Go to Settings -> Profile and click the yellow bar. Don’t click the red bar!

Neat ! What’s the reason for the influx of new users?
Successful posts on r/buyfromeu mostly. I think some others too.
The subscribed to billions of communities I’m not interested in thing is part of why I haven’t used this account since making it 9 months ago lol. I was expecting it to just subscribe me to like the generic movies/science/news comms or like just the top five mau of each category. Was the button always there and I was just blind?
The sign up page needs to be redesigned. I literally could not sign up a few days back. I think now what it was is the catcha has a white box underneath to enter the field, which can be missed.
Good point, thanks!
Welcome new Users!!
PS. If you’re looking for a good mobile app, Voyager works the best for me: https://getvoyager.app
Thunder is also a good client on android and ios, what I use personally, it has a material design on android which I prefer https://thunderapp.dev/
Do you know if any apps support the piefed exclusive features like subscribing to threads?
https://blorpblorp.xyz is also great.
This is what I use👍🏼
Im going to toss in Summit as well. Really excellent, immensly customizable, steady updates.
As a user of Relay for Reddit, this is excellent. So many of the same features and customisations that I feel right at home already.
And extensive filtering!
Why am I getting posts in my feed that, when I open them, I can see I’m not subscribed to the… whatever the equivalent of “subreddit” is here?
And how can I stop them showing up apart from blocking that channel?You are subscribed to a lot of communities via the topic chooser (you must have clicked all or most of the topics). Go to your settings: https://piefed.social/user/settings, click “Profile” and scroll down to “Unsubscribe from Everything”.
But I don’t want to unsubscribe from everything. Just to stop seeing them that I’m not subscribed to.
Okay I am confused here. What feed are you looking at on the frontpage: “Subscribed”, “Local,” “Popular” or “All”?
Ah! Thank you! Bloody “all” was chosen.
Seriously confusing why I had German communities showing up.You can change the default feed in settings btw.
You might be interested in choosing your language(s) in the settings. By default none are selected, meaning that all languages will be displayed.
You’d miss out on some great German memes though.
Oh that’s a good point! Thanks!
RIP German meme culturization
Love the layout. It achieves the impossible: looking low-tech while somehow still being bloated. My OCD is screaming, but challenge accepted.
There’s a powerful API available, and from checking why your account has a low reputation warning I see you’re into vibe coding. So I guess you could have your fun putting together your own user interface.
Personally I like the default one. Each to their own.
Yeah, Vibers get a lot of hate. But honestly, who cares about rep points? I sure don’t. The whole system is counterproductive—it just forces everyone to think exactly the same way. If you don’t, you get shut out of the ‘cool’ crowd.
The reason you’re getting shut out is because you write your posts with a LLM. Goodbye.
Is there a RES equivalent for this? I’d like non-ending scroll and to disable user hover popup 😬
If you are using the web UI, then you can disable the user popups by popping this bit of css in the Additional CSS field of your user settings:
.user_preview { display: none; }As for infinite scroll, that isn’t a feature of the native web UI. There are some alternative UIs that support PieFed, and I don’t know all the features they have, so you might find that in those. Two that I know of:
- Photon: https://phtn.app/
- Blorp: https://blorpblorp.xyz/
Photon is the best!
I’ve just added Photon - https://p.piefed.social/
Thaťs great, thanks!
