OtterWe have launched a PieFed instance!
AdaPeople must really like Pie! We just did the same thing with Blåhaj Lemmy yesterday!
Blaze (he/him) Great minds think alike!
It’s nice timing! Looking forward to seeing you and your instance in the world of pie :)
mesaEveryone likes pie ;)
asudoxI like the logo
LumpyPancakesVery tasty compared to the blue default :)
I just want to take the chance to show off our PieFed logo too!
𝔽𝕩𝕠𝕞𝕥Congrats!
BossDjI really want to use Piefed, but Voyager app is so, so good
Hopefully voyager dev takes a look at piefed integration. I would absolutely love to get back to voyager but for me getting away from lemmy was more important than sticking to voyager.
Strictly personal reason. When the lemmy devs asked for monetary donations I voiced my concern with Lemmy.ml, which they also maintained. In response one of the devs called me a cheapskate, so I decided I'm done with Lemmy until more normal people become maintainers
Eldritch100%. Not just controversial but childish. It’s completely poetic karma that they’ve become a minority in their own network. Repeating the same patterns that got them exiled elsewhere. Basically doing it all again. Having learned nothing.
What was your concern with lemmy.ml?
They’ve got a lot of genuine tankies on there, and not just the „West is bad“ kind, but also a lot of „The Russian invasion of the Ukraine is justified and the Tiananmen massacre didn’t happen“
Thank you. I need to find new instance for myself because lemme.ee. can you tell me why you chose blahaj.zone? I don’t want to support Russia in any way or form. It should be boycotted.
But I also think that crony capitalism will be our downfall. I try to reduce my reliance on US-based products, serviced and culture. Especially, on giants like google, disney, MS, etc. Boycotting US until they rethink they approach to allies like Canada, EU and Ukraine is also called for.
If you don’t mind, what would you recommend to someone who would like their revolution with no gulags?
I’m new to this as well, I just chose this instance to switch to (also from lemm.ee) because I’m queer and knew this instance did a good job keeping out assholes.
In general I think most instances on here are leftist or at least left-leaning. The general recommendation for lemm.ee users is currently lemmy.zip, if you want a dedicated political instance I only know of the anarchist lemmy.dbzer0.com (though they are too defensive of genAI for my taste) and the European Federalist feddit.org.
This thread has more recommendations by more experienced users
I’ll look into it. Appreciate your time, thank you. I’m going to search “what instance would Brannan Lee Mulligan choose” and see where this get me ;) see you on the other side.
they are basically pro-ccp, russia, and most authotarian in nature, much like lemmygrad, and hexbear.
Nimawhy get away from lemmy?
For me it was the deduplication that takes me to PieFed. I’m only using Voyager at the moment as I’m lying on my side and the PieFed PWA rotates.
Here’s hoping Voyager updates to support PieFed.
Oh my gosh, I was just experiencing the PWA rotating thing and it was driving me nuts trying to figure out how to stop it. Nothing else on my Android auto-rotates, and I didn’t immediately see any settings that could stop it. It seems like all PWAs created from Chromium (Vanadium to me) do this on my phone. I created the PWA from my Firefox app (Ironfox to me) and it seems to work fine, though it uses my installed Firefox extensions on the PWA - notably I have uBlock Origin set to block images above 50kB until I click them, which I have mixed feelings about using in conjunction with PieFed.
Thanks for the tip!
I think it’s something that the author defines when creating the PWA so it’s difficult for us to override it.
moseschrute@[email protected] mentioned working on Lemmy v1 support before considering PieFed. Lemmy v1 hasn’t launched yet.
I am considering adding support in my Lemmy client, but that likely wouldn’t be for a few months. And I also think Lemmy V1 would be the priority.
I'm in no hurry. If it comes within a year I'll be happy.
My I ask why getting away from Lemmy was so important?
Saaame. I created an account on the new Piefed but I’ll only fully switch over once Voyager supports it. I’ll be sad to lose my two year user history on Lemmy.ca though :(. I wish account migrations that kept comment/post history and account age were supported
Just link them on the bios and keep the same username. That usually does the job
we is doomed!Same with Boost, I just don’t use my piefed account becase no Boost support…
Jerry on PieFedThis is fantastic news!
Supervisor194So lemmy.ca and piefed.ca have different feeds altogether when I view them, are they two separate things then? I’m not really clear on how communicating “freely” between them works. I understand that’s how the Fediverse works, but I have a Mastodon account and I haven’t sorted out any way to post on/read lemmy content with it, so I’m not sure what the integration actually means in practical application?
Die4EverSo lemmy.ca and piefed.ca have different feeds altogether when I view them, are they two separate things then?
Separate things, just the same admin I guess. You can follow the same communities from either one.
I have a Mastodon account and I haven’t sorted out any way to post on/read lemmy content with it
On Mastodon, follow the account for this community, just Mastodon uses @ instead of ! so it’s @[email protected] and you can post to the community by mentioning it
You can paste URLs of Lemmy posts/comments into the search bar of Mastodon to pull it up. Just make sure you use the real URL and not a mirror, so you need to get the URL from Lemmy’s Fediverse icon it has on every post/comment
Someone else already gave a decent explanation :)
Can you try these two guide pages and see if they help? They have some diagrams
fedecan.ca/en/guide/get-started
fedecan.ca/en/guide/lemmy/…/detailed-overview
So lemmy.ca and piefed.ca have different feeds altogether when I view them, are they two separate things then
They are two separate platforms, made by different teams. The feeds look different for a few reasons
- piefed.ca is brand new and so it is missing a lot of the content. As people start using it, the default logged out feed will start to look closer to other instances
- An instance only pulls the content that its users are subscribed to. When you make an account on an instance and you are the first person to subscribe to a community, hitting subscribe will tell your instance to start pulling in those posts. That is why every instance will be slightly different regardless.
I’m not really clear on how communicating freely between them works
Unlike Lemmy and Mastodon, which are somewhat different formats (posts in communities) vs. short text posts on a user’s profile), Lemmy and PieFed are more or less the same. So it should be a lot closer in experience. Whatever you can subscribe to, comment on, or vote on within lemmy.ca, you should be able to do the same on piefed.ca
Especially because we are running both instances, and so they will have similar block lists.
PuniNeato! I love the pie icon. I’ll check it out!
Binettegood! I feel like there needs to be more piefed instances
🇦🇺𝕄𝕦𝕟𝕥𝕖𝕕𝕔𝕣𝕠𝕔𝕠𝕕𝕚𝕝𝕖What good clients are their for piefed? I’ve been using eternity for lemmy. Preferably something on fdroid
Since the PieFed API was only enabled recently, there aren’t that many apps out yet. [email protected] is the one that people recommend right now. Voyager has plans to add it.
As more people use it, hopefully more apps will support it :)
ruudVery nice!
