Hi y’all, I use the default web UI (desktop and in Android on my phone) when accessing piefed.social and when I create posts, 99% are the Link type. I would love to find a way to make that my default type of post if there’s any way.

I don’t see any such settings but thanks for any ideas / pointers.

    That’s a good idea. Not sure if it should be a per-profile setting or just a global default.

    Also if you go to https://piefed.social/community/piefed_help/submit and then add the bookmarklet at the bottom then you can quickly share any web page you’re looking at on piefed, without going through the process of choosing a post type.

      I think its probably 50/50 whether or not people usually preference Discussion or Link posts as a default goto. So it should be per-profile if you do add this. I currently have bookmarked adding new posts to my communities for QoL though.

      I think few people would ever want Image, Video, Poll or Event though.

        I’d say meme pictures are the second most common thing here, after forwarding the news. So I’d make a case for the image-type posts 😂

    I’ve been thinking this setting would make the most sense if it was on a community rather than a user. Most communities are for posting links but some communities are primarily images, some primarily discussions…

    So link would be the default but mods could override the default for their community.

      OK, thank you. Knowing piefed is OSS, I just cloned the repo, and I can read it, but understanding all the places where I might have to make updates is going to take a while. I might file an Issue in codeberg just as a starting point to see what you all say there.
