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.

I think I'm not really a fan of any of the existing mobile app options for PieFed. I'll definitely keep an eye on that and see if any ones that I like more become available.

the best part about it is the cute lil shark icon in the trans pride theme <3

lemmy could never

[–] ada@piefed.blahaj.zone 16 points 1 day ago

I tried to love that trans pride theme, but the nicest thing I can say about it is that I'm happy there is explicitly a trans pride theme :P

Okay I'm super impressed so far! I absolutely love this. Way better than lemmy imo, I'll be migrating there fully. The wiki feature for the HRT community is gonna be super handy and things like post flairs/tags is something many have missed here!

Things like a [transmasc] and [transfem] and [transneutral] tag for trans_memes f.ex!

[–] sem@lemmy.blahaj.zone 9 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Really dumb question probably, but are piefed communities reachable from lemmy and vice versa?

[–] ada@piefed.blahaj.zone 13 points 1 day ago

Look at the account I'm replying to you from :)

[–] sjmarf@lemmy.ml 5 points 2 days ago

Yes, they federate with each other.

Ada and Kaity sitting in a tree! W. I. N. N. I. N. G!

[–] supakaity@piefed.blahaj.zone 5 points 1 day ago

Lotsa kissys!

Has anyone written about the functional differences between lemmy and piefed?

[–] LandedGentry@lemmy.zip 27 points 3 days ago (6 children)

Apparently it’s mainly more feature-rich/up to date/stable? That’s usually what I read at least

Is "threadiverse" a thing? It feels like it gives far too much influence to Threads. I've never heard the term. "Fediverse" is better, though maybe this is a specific subset of ActivityPub applications?

[–] ada@piefed.blahaj.zone 22 points 2 days ago (3 children)

Threadiverse was a thing before Threads was a thing...

And it specifically refers to the subset of "reddit like" ActivityPub platforms, so it's more specific than Fediverse. Threadiverse instances are part of the Fediverse too, but they're quite distinct from Mastodon etc

[–] SCmSTR@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

Is "threadiverse" basically just fediverse (social) platforms that are thread-based (as opposed to, say, blog-based or some other federated type of thing)?

Like, if fediverse & thread conversation, then is threadiverse?

[–] ada@piefed.blahaj.zone 2 points 1 day ago

Exactly that!

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?

[–] ada@piefed.blahaj.zone 44 points 3 days ago (3 children)

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

The web site has a list of differences between Lemmy and PieFed:

  • Comments with -10 score are collapsed by default.
  • Communities are organized into topics. See https://piefed.social/topics.
  • Image-heavy communities can have a tiled/masonry view, like https://piefed.social/c/pics@lemmy.world
  • People who get downvoted a lot end up with a ‘low reputation’ indicator next to their name. You’ll know it when you see it.
  • Hide all posts based on keyword filters.
  • Keyboard shortcuts.
  • Upvotes in meme communities do not add to reputation.
  • Better UI design (somewhat subjective!)
  • Improved hotness ranking algorithm (subjective)
  • Voting is private.
  • See also features for healthy communities.
  • Each community has it’s own wiki. Demo

This list isn't exhaustive; one major feature that's not listed there is de-duplication, where reposts all get combined into a single post with a split comment section (one for each individual post).

Probably not, because we have downvotes disabled :)

Cool, a women indicator

(The joke is Lemmy is sexist mods please don't ban me)

[–] oftheair@lemmy.blahaj.zone 10 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (2 children)

You're correct though.

Anybody who isn't the 'default' cishet able neurotypical white man is marginalised in society and even online, we're also attacked a lot.

[–] ImADifferentBird@lemmy.blahaj.zone 9 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Which is one of the reasons downvotes are disabled here. A policy I hope will carry over to PieFed.

is there pie? 🍰💖

[–] Interstellar_1@lemmy.blahaj.zone 17 points 3 days ago (3 children)

I wish there were more apps with piefed support. I like my gestures. Nonetheless, thanks alot fort the instance! Piefed seems great, I'll be happy to try it out here.

[–] jwr1@kbin.earth 2 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I'll just mention, in case it's not apparent, Interstellar (the app) does support swipe gestures on posts and comments; you just need to enable them in the settings. I do realize the Blahaj PieFed instance hasn't even enabled the API, so the app wouldn't work with piefed.blahaj.zone yet.

BTW, I like your username :)

[–] jwr1@kbin.earth 2 points 1 day ago

Oh, never mind, I just saw their comment about the API being enabled, so the app should work with piefed.blahaj.zone.

Oh, nice, good to know! Also thanks :)

Apparently, your namesake (Interstellar) supports PieFed, but I haven't been able to log in to Blahaj's instance with it. It keeps giving me an error saying the API is not enabled.

Interesting, never heard of piefed before, been using lemmy for a long time.

Same (well, other than a long time, but I think it's been over a year at least)
