PieFed, a FOSS Feed Aggregator alternative to Lemmy, but faster
(join.piefed.social)
Welcome to a new era of interconnected content discussion with PieFed – 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 – 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.

Faster?
Speed is literally not even a concern, the only thing I want more of is people. Make it easier to sign up or something
I mean it connects to lemmy, kinda like mbin.
In my experience it's very snappy, and with minimal JavaScript (if at all). Hell, it's even somewhat usable in Lynx, though I couldn't sign in.
Lynx - Now that's a name I have not heard in a long long time.
I can log in with lynx... It sets a few cookies and then I'm logged in... Though I haven't tried signing up, if you mean sign up as in register a new account.
Might have been a user error then! Admittedly I did not try very hard.
There's also a low bandwidth mode available. It's an impressive platform in general.
And uses less data - helpful for using a mobile data plan. Those numbers shown in the article are all the more impressive even for sending 5x more posts on the home screen than Lemmy's default, even while still sending >4/5 less data - i.e. it's more like sending roughly only 1/25th the data per post, if I'm reading that right.
