PieFed, a FOSS Feed Aggregator alternative to Lemmy, but faster
(join.piefed.social)
Welcome to a new era of interconnected content discussion with PieFed โ a link aggregator, a forum, a hub of social interaction and information, built for the fediverse. Our focus is on individual control, safety, and decentralised power.
Like other platforms in the fediverse, we are a self-governed space for social link aggregation and conversation. We operate without the influence of corporate entities โ ensuring that your experience is free of advertisements, invasive tracking, or secret algorithms. On our platform, content is grouped into communities, allowing you to engage with topics of interest and disregard the irrelevant ones. We utilise a voting system to highlight the best content.
Video introduction the codebase
Yeah the lack of test suites really kicks our arse sometimes. I changed it from hard-deleting to soft-deleting stuff recently, and I forgot to check whether a post actually links to an external URL when restoring a post. The first time someone restored a post without one, it decided that it now had 189 cross-posts (i.e. all the other text posts that week). Whoops!
