The first commit to the git repository was this day in 2023.

What a ride, how time flies, etc.

So many people have helped and contributed, in big and small ways. Code, translations, ideas, testing, feedback, writing docs, running instances - PieFed wouldn't be what it is without you all!

Thank you to everyone who has been a part of this journey so far! Onwards to the next chapter!

PieFed and Lemmy are much younger than I thought they were.

Happy birthday, PieFed! :D ๐Ÿฅง

Thank you for creating and keep improving this amazing piece of software. It takes tremendous dedication to follow through what you started.

And thank you VERY MUCH for creating something so awesome! I love using it.

[-] DosDude@retrofed.com 23 points 15 hours ago

Yay! Thank you for your effort the past 3 years. You've made piefed a mature and feature-rich piece of software.

Great job

I must thank you for making the biggest Piefed server, Fedinsfw, possible. You have saved porn in the threadiverse.

[-] PumpkinDrama@reddthat.com 3 points 10 hours ago

Is there something like https://lemmy.fediverse.observer/ where I can check out active users per instance?

[-] HubertManne@piefed.social 2 points 9 hours ago

wow. I looked at my user and it only says a year since I joined. feels like forever since I was on kbin. you really got something that is much closer to what, I at least, wanted. And, of course, while looking at my user I see some new stuff (to me) :)

[-] tuckerm@feddit.online 12 points 14 hours ago

Thank you for everything that you've done! This is an incredibly featureful and mature application, I had assumed it must be more than three years old.

What's the next chapter? ๐Ÿ™‚

[-] rimu@piefed.social 37 points 14 hours ago

In the latest release I've started to go down a path towards proper Mastodon integration. So I'm looking to bust out of the threadiverse and be able to discard my Mastodon account because PieFed will be just as good at showing me Mastodon toots as it is Lemmy posts.

There are 20x more Mastodon users than threadiverse users so this could be a step-change for the project.

Eventually this ends with PieFed fulfilling the promise that the fediverse has for so long never really lived up to - that you can use one platform and access all the content from all the other platforms. But that might be the chapter after next.

[-] notabot@piefed.social 7 points 12 hours ago

I'll be intregued to see how the mastodon integration wirks from a user perspective. Will it be integrated into the same view, or will it be a separate view? Will we be able to follow individual users, or tags? I look forward to finding out.

[-] dumples@piefed.social 4 points 5 hours ago

I used Kbin.social (RIP) for a while and loved the mastodon integration. A good update for sure

[-] rimu@piefed.social 9 points 12 hours ago

I'm going to try putting it into the same view and see how it goes. It might be that the amount of votes Lemmy posts get vs the number of likes Mastodon posts get is so different that the ranking system that Hot/Scaled uses doesn't make sense... Only one way to find out!

[-] victorz@lemmy.world 3 points 11 hours ago

Cool stuff! And you'll be able to post to Mastodon add well, or just see content from it? ๐Ÿ™‚

[-] Die4Ever@retrolemmy.com 1 points 2 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago)

technically you're already posting to Mastodon, Mastodon can already follow Lemmy/PieFed users and communities

[-] victorz@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago

I mean, okay, but it's a limited experience compared to direct Mastodon-Mastodon interaction, right? In terms of messaging and mentions? Or?

[-] rimu@piefed.social 7 points 11 hours ago

Yeah, both!

Any time you post in a community all your Mastodon followers already receive your post and can comment on it.

[-] victorz@lemmy.world 2 points 10 hours ago

So you login with your Mastodon account first somehow, in order to integrate?

[-] devdoggy@piefed.social 9 points 15 hours ago

Great job!!

[-] mesamunefire@piefed.social 8 points 15 hours ago
