Ideas for road map items were gathered from the PieFed community and each idea now has it’s own post here. Now I need to prioritize them so to assist me with that, please upvote those ideas that are important to you, ignore those that do not and only downvote when an idea seems like a counter-productive waste of time and energy.

Vote for as many ideas as you like but be selective. Something like upvote your top 10 ideas and downvote the bottom 5, that kind of thing.

UPDATE: Roadmap has been finalised! Thanks for your participation everyone!

https://codeberg.org/rimu/pyfedi/src/branch/main/docs/project_management/roadmap.md

To make it I went through https://piefed.social/c/piefed_2025?sort=top adding things in order until I started to doubt we’d get it all done this year. So some things didn’t make it into the final roadmap but they’re still at https://piefed.social/c/piefed_2025 so they won’t be forgotten for 2026 ;-)

Of course whether something is on the roadmap or not won’t stop us scratching whatever itches are strongest at the time but it will give us something to refer to when there is no itch…

    A separate, minor suggestion: sometimes I want to send someone a link to something so that they can read it, thus I find very helpful the “View original on <instancename>” (another edit #3, I just noticed that the rest of this paragraph did not get rendered at all until I inserted a slash before the greater than sign there) link in the hamburger menu for a post, and I would like to see similar added for comments as well. Right now I have to scroll all the way up to the top (not that hard on its own:-), follow the link to the original post on the other instance, find again the comment that I want to share a link with, and then use that little chain link looking icon (kinda like this ⛓️ but not entirely and it may look different for you anyway:-).

    This is not something I do every day or even week, but it’s often enough to notice its absence and would make PieFed feel more like it was catching up to feature parity with some of those kinds of Lemmy Quality of Life features that PieFed still lacks. Especially if it is a fairly easy to add feature:-).

    An example of using this could be the !Bestoflemmy@lemmy.world community that highlights great comments across the Fediverse.

    Edit: two more suggestions along similar lines are:

    • finding a linkable community name without having to leave PieFed, e.g. !fediverselore@lemmy.ca works but !FediLore + Fedidrama@lemmy.ca does not, though if there is a way to find the former without having to go to the original instance then that definitely is not obvious
    • being able to find my own comments more easily, as I just did now to edit this one. I can go to my profile at https://piefed.social/u/OpenStars, and then either scroll down a lot or search for the word Comment and click through all the various times that appears on the page in order to finally get to it. It would be nice if there were a button, as there is on Lemmy, e.g. one for Posts another for Comments and another for Overview of both:-).

    These kinds of UI improvements would really help, even if an app (and first an API) were to be developed, bc people’s first impressions will be formed by visiting the website.

    I hope these suggestions aren’t annoying, and rather helpful.😉

    Edit 2: another one is that the last time I checked, the username sign in was somehow case sensitive. It’s been a few weeks and sorry I don’t recall all the details but check in on this bc that will absolutely be someone’s very first experience with starting out here.😁
