Who runs your Fider board?

Fider Cloud runs the service for you. The AGPL-licensed open-source edition can run on infrastructure you manage. If you choose that route, plan for a database, email delivery, backups and updates. Fider documents a private-site mode for a limited audience. Check the board’s sign-in requirements separately from who can moderate posts.

What happens when a suggestion is already on the board?

A collaborator or administrator can mark it as a duplicate of the original. Fider’s post documentation says the duplicate’s votes are added to the original. Use the retained post for updates and write a status explanation appropriate for people who can visit the board.

When do managed limits change the choice?

Fider Cloud Free lists a fair-use limit of 250 feedback requests. Cloud Pro lists unlimited feedback items and content moderation, with month-to-month billing. Fider documents programmatic access to posts. Before moving a board, check what that access includes for your role and whether you can also preserve comments, votes and files you need.

Which suggestion should stay open?

On paper, mark a second request for dark mode as a duplicate of the clearer first request. Keep an unrelated request about text size open.

  1. Record what moves
    Write the retained post number and note that its votes include votes from the duplicate.
  2. Draft a status reply
    Say what the team knows and what it still needs to decide. Omit names or account details that do not belong on the board.
