Kaity has just spun up a PieFed instance, which is open to anyone that wants to try it out.

PieFed is part of the "Threadiverse" along with lemmy and mbin. If you are already reading this in lemmy, then you already know what PieFed is about.

If you're curious to try it out, or if you're just looking for a way to avoid lemmy, you can find it at https://piefed.blahaj.zone/

Like our lemmy instance, we have set PieFed applications to require manual approval, but if you're already a member of our lemmy instance, you can get auto approved by our modbot by quoting your registration code somewhere in your application.

Neat! I'll have to play with it when I get the chance.

How does PieFed differ from Lemmy? At first glance, they seem like similar applications. Does it have any particular strengths or additional features I might want to try out?

There are lots of little usability improvements, and configuration options, but they are functionally very similar.

But it also has the advantage of not being written by the lemmy devs, which is a deal breaker for some folk

Could you please share context on the lemmy devs being a deal breaker?

Political stuff. The devs are also behind lemmygrad, for example.

One of the devs is a transphobe
