Blåhaj PieFed - A PieFed instance for gender diverse folk and their allies.

Blåhaj PieFed is brought to you by the kind folk at Blåhaj Zone, and while anyone is free to register for an account here, please bear in mind tha…

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.

    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?

      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/[email protected]
      • 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).

        Cool, a women indicator

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

              Yeah, though sadly this seems to make people a lot nastier in their comments sometimes, or perhaps they are juat awful to difference anyway. We still agree they should be disabled though as downvotes sound awful and are often used for mere disagreements, or bigotry, in practise.

        Probably not, because we have downvotes disabled :)

      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
