Would you like some pie? Check it out here: https://piefed.ca/

What is PieFed

PieFed follows a similar format as Lemmy and Mbin. Those that are familiar with Lemmy will find it very similar, with some additional features including topic lists, optional private voting, new mod and admin tools, crosspost de-duplication, community wikis, etc. Thanks to how the fediverse works, you can use either lemmy.ca or piefed.ca to interact freely!

We will put together some guides on our non-profit's website at some point. In the meantime, we have created [email protected] for us to learn from each other. There is also the official [email protected] community which has a similar purpose.

We have done some testing and we are learning as we go, but please bear with us while this new platform gets going ๐Ÿ™‚

Nice. Already registered.

~~Is there a recommended android app for it?~~

I just saw the FAQ section after.

Stuff like this really helps reinforce why the fediverse is the best platform. Portability is no joke.

Pie flavor. I'm stoked that Piefed has Atkinson Hyperlegible as a font choice! It's my favorite font, especially for ereaders.

It suck that they implements karma and collapsing downvoted comments. Two censorship methods

[-] [email protected] 0 points 1 hour ago

The downvotes and karma do not stop you from saying whatever you want. It just means you have to say it somewhere else. Hence, you are not censored.

When a comment is collapsed , people tend to skip the comment. Hiding stuffs is censorship

Hello โœŒ๏ธ ๐Ÿ˜„

Hola desde el mismo lugar de siempre. (Lemmy).

Oh, Piefed has the ability to see threading and micro-blogging posts?

[-] [email protected] 13 points 14 hours ago

You might be thinking of Mbin, the other one of the "big three" (more like big one and the other two). Mbin's biggest differentiating feature is microblog support. It's hard to boil PieFed down to one main feature compared to Lemmy/Mbin, but anonymous voting and de-duplication of reposts might be the main ones. However, its focus is still on the (Lemmy-style) threaded side of the fediverse.

Example showing comments across reposts in 6 different communities.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 10 hours ago

Out of curiosity, can a community opt out of its comments being bundled with others?

After seeing it in action, I think that's actually a nifty feature that most communities and the threadiverse as a whole would benefit from, but I could also potentially foresee a minority of communities not wanting to increase their comments exposure to that degree.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 3 hours ago

Honestly, I think it's one of the most undercutting, least thought out features in piefed, that focuses entirely on the immediaye convenience of the end user over the health of the discussion groups and servers that make up the network.

It's the eating a tub of icing for supper of social media features.

Along those lines: it also only shows the sidebar of the first community

@[email protected] another interesting idea
