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.

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

[–] LandedGentry@lemmy.zip 27 points 1 week ago (6 children)

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

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 47 points 1 week ago (1 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

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

Could you please share context on the lemmy devs being a deal breaker?

[–] jawa22@lemmy.blahaj.zone 21 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Political stuff. The devs are also behind lemmygrad, for example.

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 :)

Thank you, I was worried :3

Cool, a women indicator

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

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.

[–] Zorsith@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 1 week ago

Yeah, i quite like my lemmy app (even if it is pretty much dead at this point). Eternity UI is very cozy to me.

Basically a message for Kaity, but I am getting a

ClientException: Request failed with status 400: Bad Request: {"error":"alpha api is not enabled"} , uri=https://piefed.blahaj.zone/api/alpha/user/login

when using the Interstellar App and wanted to bring it to your attention. Thanks <3

What exactly is the “threadiverse?”

Lemmy Piefed and Kbin I think.

So content aggregators on the fedi?

Ohhh it’s piefed not pixelfed! My dumb ass was trying to login with pixelfed app -.-

[–] cupcakezealot@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (3 children)

is piefed like sharkey to misskey or glitch to mastodon? or is it something different all together? just wondering. i would love a differently developed lemmy so that would be great!

also just curious will piefed also eventually get downvotes disabled like here? i love getting rid of the toxicity of it :)
