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

In my community !action_movies@piefed.social , I've made two posts sticky (the "Welcome" post and the "Free, legal movies" post) using my Piefed mod account, but:

  • viewing in PieFed, neither post is at the top. (They do have inverted angle brackets around the title.)
  • viewing in Lemmy, The "Free, legal movies" post is sticky (at top, with pushpin icon) but the "Welcome" post isn't.

How do I get them both displayed at the top in both PieFed and Lemmy? Or is this a bug?

Thanks for the info.

  1. 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.

  2. 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. :/

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.

I made a test post on Lemmy in Playground, to see if the crossover affects formatting.
