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.

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.
