We now have a PieFed instance!
(piefed.blahaj.zone)
Cute logo
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
Okay I'm super impressed so far! I absolutely love this. Way better than lemmy imo, I'll be migrating there fully. The wiki feature for the HRT community is gonna be super handy and things like post flairs/tags is something many have missed here!
Things like a [transmasc] and [transfem] and [transneutral] tag for trans_memes f.ex!
Really dumb question probably, but are piefed communities reachable from lemmy and vice versa?
Look at the account I'm replying to you from :)
Yes, they federate with each other.

Ada and Kaity sitting in a tree! W. I. N. N. I. N. G!
And also kissing presumably
Lotsa kissys!
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.

Has anyone written about the functional differences between lemmy and piefed?
Apparently it’s mainly more feature-rich/up to date/stable? That’s usually what I read at least
Isn't run by tankies
Isn’t run by tankies
I get that whole thing but like…you don’t feel the tankie presence much, if ever, outside of ml/lemmygrad/hexbear. They just build lemmy. Like beehaw? Blahaj? Those aren't run or influenced by tankies.
He also asked for the functional differences. Ideology didn’t really seem that relevant

Not gonna use it then
I'm out of the loop a bit. I know basically what tankies are, but I'm dumb.
Can somebody tow me in to the conflict that I've been seeing around between tankies and.... Everybody else? Because I find it hard to believe that tankies really are just fascists but for liberal values in the most extreme way. Maybe I don't totally understand the depths of how it works and the implications, and the issues that liberals but non tankies take with...tank..ie...ism...(?) (Authoritarian left?)
Like maybe people just want liberal values and want it to be more ensured that conservativism can't be as insidious, but don't ACTUALLY want to murder and eliminate a bunch of people to do it?
Are there any mature, rational, honest, good faith, and genuine discussions that I can look at or briefly be explained that also won't start a bunch of conflict in this post?
~~Maybe~~ Just pm me.
Is "threadiverse" a thing? It feels like it gives far too much influence to Threads. I've never heard the term. "Fediverse" is better, though maybe this is a specific subset of ActivityPub applications?
Threadiverse was a thing before Threads was a thing...
And it specifically refers to the subset of "reddit like" ActivityPub platforms, so it's more specific than Fediverse. Threadiverse instances are part of the Fediverse too, but they're quite distinct from Mastodon etc
Is "threadiverse" basically just fediverse (social) platforms that are thread-based (as opposed to, say, blog-based or some other federated type of thing)?
Like, if fediverse & thread conversation, then is threadiverse?
Exactly that!

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?
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

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).
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.
Probably not, because we have downvotes disabled :)

Cool, a women indicator
(The joke is Lemmy is sexist mods please don't ban me)
You're correct though.
Anybody who isn't the 'default' cishet able neurotypical white man is marginalised in society and even online, we're also attacked a lot.
Which is one of the reasons downvotes are disabled here. A policy I hope will carry over to PieFed.

is there pie? 🍰💖
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.
I'll just mention, in case it's not apparent, Interstellar (the app) does support swipe gestures on posts and comments; you just need to enable them in the settings. I do realize the Blahaj PieFed instance hasn't even enabled the API, so the app wouldn't work with piefed.blahaj.zone yet.
BTW, I like your username :)
Oh, never mind, I just saw their comment about the API being enabled, so the app should work with piefed.blahaj.zone.
Oh, nice, good to know! Also thanks :)
Apparently, your namesake (Interstellar) supports PieFed, but I haven't been able to log in to Blahaj's instance with it. It keeps giving me an error saying the API is not enabled.
