It's seems right that we should have a local community to help us all with PieFed

On piefed
They both appear stickied just fine to me. Something that is different with sticky posts on piefed is that if you sort by
New, then the sticky posts are no longer at the top of the page. That is different than how lemmy does it. This has led to confusion in the past, and even has a codeberg issue about it.On lemmy
I am guessing that federation had not yet been established between that lemmy instance when you created and stickied that initial welcome post. I just tried an experiment now where I subscribed to your community from a test lemmy instance I have and forced federation of one of the sticky posts, and it didn't come over stickied. So, there might be some weirdness there.
What you can do to try to resolve this is to unsticky it and then resticky it. That should send out the correct actions via activitypub so that the other instances know that the post should be stickied. To be on the safer side, give it a minute or two between those two actions so that you are sure the first action had been sent out fully.
Thanks for the info.
I unstickied, re-stickied and waited a couple of minutes. Both are now stickies that appear at the top in Lemmy, no matter what the sorting order.
Sorting order: when I first started with Lemmy, I got sick of seeing the same posts again and again and again. I tried different sorting orders, and different settings for viewed posts, none of which satisfied all my wishes, until I eventually gave up on everything except "New", which is now how I look at all content all the time.
So I guess this means in Piefed I'm always missing out on seeing stickies in all communities, not just the one I mod. :/
Just following up on this that stickied posts should now show up at the top of communities even if you sort by New. Additionally, the double bold problem should be solved now without breaking anything else. Feel free to reach out in this community or on codeberg with issues if they come up.
PS - post and comment previews should show better formatting as well, including blockquotes and code blocks.
Thanks! I just noticed that!
Great !
And there is that text formatting bug! Trying to have bold formatting in two different places ("always" and "all") in the same sentence: PieFed says no! :D
Wait, so what is that issue? If you bold something in two different places it gets messed up?
Edit: it sure does...I will take a look at that when I look at formatting comment previews correctly.
Not sure if it helps but both look bolded on lemmy
Thanks! It seems the markdown is saved and federated out correctly, so lemmy's markdown to html is parsing it as intended. What is going wrong is piefed's markdown to html parsing in this specific case.
I thought it also happened with italics , but testing now, it seems OK:
I think it might also happen when you have italics, or bold, immediately followed by punctuation.
Or is that only when the original post is done on Lemmy and then viewed on PieFed? I'll have to try to find an example.
I made a test post on Lemmy in Playground, to see if the crossover affects formatting.
