Here’s the proposal

The last point requires existing users to keep an eye on that community, would people here like to do that? You would mostly just need to subscribe to the community and have a look from time to time

Also, if you have a better name idea than “newjoiners”, feel free to suggest it

Piefed.zip was selected as the zip instances are known to be stable, and having it on a different instance than piefed.social can help the new joiners understand federation with a practical example

    Oh well that’s piqued my interest greatly as I’ve been looking into making plugins lately. I might fork this.

    Having a quick look, is the “onboard_user” hook related to what I was asking about the preset block for new accounts?

      Right. The new_user hook is fired when a new user is verified by piefed. So, a plugin can latch onto that to do things. The plugin has full access to all of piefed, so doing things like adding blocks for a new user is pretty simple. The default blocklists is covered by this plugin.

      Both you and piefed.zip were asking about it. So, I thought that I might as well put the plugin system through its paces to figure out more about it and fix pain points as I find them.
