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.

Hello from Piefed! I was a regular on Lemmy and Mastodon for years, but I migrated to Piefed because it is much more lightweight.
The features page shows some differences between Piefed and Lemmy - https://join.piefed.social/features/ Mostly, I appreciate that it is written in Python, so more developers in the community may easily understand and contribute to the code base, and that it is so lightweight. When I connect to the internet I always have to consider data caps, so it’s a relief when websites make a genuine effort to be efficient. I can reliably browse the fediverse through Piefed even when my access is throttled to 50Kbps download.
The lightweight claim is a bit of a stretch. You’re counting content that gets cached in the browser.
Curious to see if people haven’t heard about it, Piefed seems to be mentioned quite often
Tbf you’re on Lemmy 24/7 so you’ll hear about things much earlier than many others. I’ve also been on Piefed for a minute.
But I’ve come to understand how slowly knowledge propagates through large numbers of people, at least via this medium. First with the APIcaplyse, when I realized that virtually nobody on reddit had even heard of the API changes, let alone moving to Lemmy. And then on Lemmy itself with various major events/dramas that people were totally unaware of until much later.
Piefed is developing rapidly and seems like a worthy alternative to Lemmy and Mbin. The private voting feature is also really cool.
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.
I believe one of the killer features is the ability to aggregate different communities.
Multi-communities? Really? 😍
Yes really. Here’s an example - see the communities at the top, and hashtags at the bottom.
On second thought, that’s not a fantastic example of categories, so here and here are better ones.
There’s a lot that is not yet implemented in PieFed, like no preview feature for writing messages or user tagging (e.g. @[email protected] does not send me a notification), yet it already has several features that Lemmy does not - it’s so exciting to watch it develop!:-)
Codebase is clean too.
I haven’t looked but that’s great to know as well:-).
doesn’t seem to have a good dark mode, i also use wefwef/voyager ,thunder and phtn instead of lemmy-ui so… any apps? also seemingly no community creation yet.
yep, it show’s under 1 day on wefwef/voyager.
i think I’ll still stay on lemmy.
they have a theme of the colours of the trans flag, Steal?
If you can find a lemmy trans flag theme that we can easily import, I’m all ears :)
id assume creating your own would be easy but I don’t manage a large lemmy instance so how would i know?
