-
“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.

What do the multi-image posts look like when federated to Lemmy? Even if I don’t see the extra images, I hope there’s at least some sign I’m missing something so I can go looking elsewhere.
PF is finally starting to follow PyLova’s lead seeing as it’s had the image posts, sidebar hashtags, and default hash tags for so long. This whole update feels like PF has no original ideas for its future.
PyLova still has far more features and none of that vote limit junk.
The only thing holding me back from migrating is the clients I use- Voyager and Alexandrite. I need to be able to see my upvoted, down voted,and hidden content
You can see your up and downed content on PyLova.
I’m using Voyager and can see the “Hidden” content overview
You’re right, hidden is there but not upvoted or down voted.
For me it was the missing support for “auto fill” when using Link posts on Voyager. Small issue, but annoying enough. Also PieFed.social blocking some stuff without it being obvious why at the beginning. I could have changed instances though.
