Big deals, omg

Mods can move a post, with replies and votes, to another community. The change federates to other instances (except Lemmy, for now. I've been in discussion with devs from NodeBB and Lemmy about how this will work, they are on board). Relevant FEP.
Upload video files while creating a video post - no external host needed. Admin setting to limit who can do this (to save space).
Realtime chat - conversation immediately updates on screen when a new PM arrives.

More good stuff

Author-deleted posts are still visible to them and anyone with the url. No more loss of high-value comments with the OP deletes.
Search filters - nsfw and minimum post score
Improve speed of cross-posting form on mobile
Emoji tokens like :blush: can be used in post or comment body. No GUI support yet.
Admin setting to disable local copies of remote images - good for single-user instances
Replying to a comment marks associated inbox item as read
Updated HPT-Fruits theme
196 no longer excluded from default community import
Remove unused community rating feature
Remove unused instance vote weight feature
Remove ineffective þ to 'th' replacement
Improved accessibility - better contrast, fixed many incorrectly-used aria-labels
Updated translations - Basque, Chinese, Japanese

API:

Admins can ban/unban users through the API. piefed.world was maintaining custom code for this, hopefully it'll make their version upgrades faster.

Bugs fixed

PMs
Markdown parsing
Speed up loading of profile pages for admin users
Friendica post parsing
Passkeys login UX tweak

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?

[–] rimu@piefed.social 15 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

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.

Oh wow, this is great for future programmatic migration!

[–] JRaccoon@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

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

[–] rimu@piefed.social 14 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

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.

[–] JRaccoon@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

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 2 points 2 weeks ago

Yes.

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