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 !newtopiefed@piefed.ca for us to learn from each other. There is also the official !piefed_help@piefed.social 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 🙂

    So lemmy.ca and piefed.ca have different feeds altogether when I view them, are they two separate things then? I’m not really clear on how communicating freely between them works. I understand that’s how the Fediverse supposedly works, but I have a Mastodon account and I haven’t sorted out any way to post on/read lemmy content with it, so I’m not sure what the integration actually means in practical application? Maybe someone could help me understand.

      Separate things, just the same admin I guess. You can follow the same communities from either one.

      I have a Mastodon account and I haven’t sorted out any way to post on/read lemmy content with it

      On Mastodon, follow the account for this community, just Mastodon uses @ instead of ! so it’s @fediverse@lemmy.world and you can post to the community by mentioning it

      You can paste URLs of Lemmy posts/comments into the search bar of Mastodon to pull it up. Just make sure you use the real URL and not a mirror, so you need to get the URL from Lemmy’s Fediverse icon it has on every post/comment

      Hopefully voyager dev takes a look at piefed integration. I would absolutely love to get back to voyager but for me getting away from lemmy was more important than sticking to voyager.

          I’m in no hurry. If it comes within a year I’ll be happy. If it takes longer I’ll probably check it out unless some other app has come out that I’m also happy with.

        For me it was the deduplication that takes me to PieFed. I’m only using Voyager at the moment as I’m lying on my side and the PieFed PWA rotates.

        Here’s hoping Voyager updates to support PieFed.

          Strictly personal reason. When the lemmy devs asked for monetary donations I voiced my concern with Lemmy.ml, which they also maintain. In response one of the devs called me a cheapskate, so I decided I’m done with Lemmy until more normal people become maintainers

          Edit: forgot to add that it wasn’t the only reason. The devs themselves are rather controversial in their beliefs and moderation and I had reluctantly tolerated thoss things up to that point. The dev interaction was simply the last drop in the bucket.

            100%. Not just controversial but childish. It’s completely poetic karma that they’ve become a minority in their own network. Repeating the same patterns that got them exiled elsewhere. Basically doing it all again. Having learned nothing.
