Hope everyone is doing well and having a good summer!
Running Lemmy is a fun (most of the time) hobby for me, so naturally when I heard about PieFed I wanted to give that a shot, too. I've started a server at https://wetshav.ing
PieFed is a Lemmy alternative, with additional features that aim to make it easier to moderate, and perhaps aim to make it a nicer place overall.
Decide for yourself if you'd like to try it: https://join.piefed.social/features/
You can apply for an account at https://wetshav.ing and I'll approve it ASAP. For now I'm limiting it to usernames that I recognize.
Hello from piefed.
One cool thing to note is that Voyager, the iOS app that I use for Lemmy, also lets me log into this piefed server. Neat!
Yes, more and more apps are adding support. Summit and Boost also have support. For iOS I just saw Mlem added support today.
Hello from PieFed too!
Unfortunately Voyager for Android isn't the same as for iOS. The Android version doesn't support sign-in via PieFed yet. ~~I currently try an app called Blorp.~~ I am actually on the more feature-rich Summit now! Still getting used to it, just leaving this here for other mobile users with an Android OS!
