I believe the origin is a portmanteau of python (the language piefed is written in) and fediverse. The pie imagery is more for fun.

Fun fact, the dev server that lives at the bleeding edge of the codebase is called crust.

At least the Codeberg git repository is called pyfedi, which I think could be the original name of this? Py comes from the programming language used, Python. And Fedi is, well, Fedi :)

And then maybe PyFedi became PieFed because Rimu is from New Zealand and those DAMN KIWIS are SERIOUSLY MAD ABOUT PIES! 🤣
