We've brainstormed a few ideas for where we could focus our development efforts this year and created a post in a community for each idea.

This is the community: [email protected]

Now it's up to you to vote on each post to influence the priorities of those ideas! 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.

There's nothing technically wrong with the outbox for that community. This can be confirmed from a command-line, by doing:
curl --header 'accept: application/activity+json' --location https://piefed.social/c/piefed_2025/outbox | jq .
I was also able to get it from my dev PieFed instance without issue.

So Lemmy is shitting the bed when processing the outbox.
Possible reason 1: the posts also contain replies in PieFed outboxes (but Lemmy should just ignore that field, and not all posts have replies)
Possible reason 2: the community is restricted to posts by the mod (but that shouldn't affect things)
Possible reason 3: "Lemmy reasons"

I thought content simply didn't federate retroactively, but only started when the first user from an instance subscribed the community. I'm probably wrong, but then again this seems to indicate I might be right.

When you first fetch a new community, you should always get the most recent posts (albeit without votes, etc). This is a different kind of federation than what happens when you make a post for the subscribers of a community to see - that content is being pushed out, whereas getting recent posts from a new community is being pulled in from community_name/outbox (which is just a big JSON file).
