What is PieFed

PieFed follows a similar format as Lemmy and Mbin. Those that are familiar with Lemmy will find it very similar, with some additional features including topic lists, optional private voting, new mod and admin tools, crosspost de-duplication, community wikis, etc. Thanks to how the fediverse works, you can use either lemmy.ca or piefed.ca to interact freely!

We will put together some guides on our non-profit’s website at some point. In the meantime, we have created [email protected] for us to learn from each other. There is also the official [email protected] community which has a similar purpose.

We have done some testing and we are learning as we go, but please bear with us while this new platform gets going 🙂

    Is the API active? I want to use PieFed over Lemmy, but don’t like to join so called “flagship instances”, they always go overboard with moderation at some point.

    So instead of joining piefed.social I signed up with .au, only to find out that the admin never bothered to activate the api, so can’t use any apps, and posts aren’t federating outwards properly.

    Edit: Confirmed working, registration sent.

    Edit 2: Approved within 5 min, thanks for that!

        I think it has been there for a bit, but was still in alpha. Preferred.social had it running for a while, that’s their official test instance. But good to see it working!

      Yep the API is on as of earlier today. It’s not listed in the docs yet, which is probably why the au instance doesn’t have it on.
