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.
You must log in or register to comment.
silly question and it’s probably not possible but i wonder if there’s a way to sync the sticky posts from this community on piefed too (or make this community more prominent on piefed) since ive been using the piefed instance more and more now that i got used to it. :^
Post pinning should be fixed now between Lemmy and Piefed, so if the mods unpin/repin it it should work
but like in the main screen when you first go to the page where it lists all of your subscribed posts. sometimes on lemmy they would stick to the top from the meta subreddit. :^
Ah, you mean instance-wide pinning! Good point, let me check with the Piefed devs
I just checked, at the moment there’s only an announcement function:
We don’t have any stickied posts on lemmy at the moment, so there is nothing to sync, but as I understand it, they will sync fine
That being said, another thing you can do is turn on notifications for the community itself. That way, you’ll get a notification whenever someone makes a new post (not comment) to the community. You can do the same thing with individual posts too, and get notifications whenever someone replies to a post, even if you didn’t make the original post!
ooh thanks i feel dumb :L i thought i saw one on lemmy but maybe it was just old >_>
is there pie? 🍰💖
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.
Ill try it :3
cool
Really dumb question probably, but are piefed communities reachable from lemmy and vice versa?
Yes, they federate with each other.
Look at the account I’m replying to you from :)
Is the plan to switch to it permanently?
Not particularly. There is no migration path between lemmy and PieFed, so we’re just spinning up two instances, and we’ll see what happens
Apparently, some communities have had some success migrating, so there might be that possibility if that’s the path you want to go down.
If that happens organically with enough communities, then it might be something we consider, but I’m not going to push people to uproot their communities if they don’t have to.
Thanks. I understand that not everyone is sharing my views on the issue, but I believe that FOSS don’t belong to specific persons, even if they started the project. There are 260 contributors to lemmy, and I’m one of them (small contributions though yet, but anyway), and I’m enby and unconditionally support trans rights. I love Lemmy, and despite the views of one of the original devs, it helps trans people and LGBTQ+ people to express themselves on free independent platforms
Do you have any thoughts on how the two compare in terms of resource utilization (CPU / RAM) given a similar number of users and activity?
I’ve been curious about this, because Rust, the programming language used for Lemmy, is supposed to be a LOT more CPU/RAM efficient than Python, the language used for Piefed. Python, on the other hand, is supposed to be much faster to initially develop in, which would at least partly explain how Piefed gained so many features so quickly compared to Lemmy.
We don’t have a point of comparison so far, because the instances don’t share the same concurrent user numbers, but it would be hard to beat lemmy, which is really light for the volume it handles.
Ok, thanks! Kind of what I expected both in terms of not being able to compare exactly and Lemmy being light. I appreciate it.
From what I understand (and note that this is unsubstantiated, because we just simply don’t have the same size userbase/activity here), while lemmy is fairly good, piefed is supposedly even better.
The caveat here is of course that over time, software maturity and changes in prioritization of features (sacrificing efficiency for functionality or ease of use usually) results in certain decisions being made that affect the resource requirements.
It happened with lemmy (it used to be way more efficient than it is now), and it will happen to piefed too.

Better in terms of lightness? I would be extremely surprised given the vast difference in performance and resource consumption of Python vs. Rust, and because apparently Piefed already has more features than Lemmy does. But maybe I misunderstood your point.
hmm i already have a piefed account, do i make one for blahaj too…
You don’t have to, your existing account will work perfectly fine.
But on the other hand, we’re not rationing them out based on how many you already have either!
Go to https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/link for a code you can use to get instant registration approval.
dw i made one
the best part about it is the cute lil shark icon in the trans pride theme <3
lemmy could never
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
registration is broken :(
We had someone apply a minute before you posted this, which I’ve now approved. If that was you, you should be able to sign in with it now.
Will look in to the error.
thanks! well i applied with my same username, it says no such account exists, also i used a registration code, if that helps
Your account exists and has been approved
okay nice thanks
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/loginwhen using the Interstellar App and wanted to bring it to your attention. Thanks <3
I’ll check it out. See what this alpha API thing is all about.
API now enabled!
Post about it in Blåhaj PieFed Meta:

Piefed doesn’t have great 3rd party app support at the moment
I’d love to know the performance different between the two. It feels like Lemmy should be more lean.
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)
