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 !newtopiefed@piefed.ca for us to learn from each other. There is also the official !piefed_help@piefed.social 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 🙂

Other Links & FAQ

lemmy.ca is not migrating to PieFed. We will run both instances at the same time. You can use whichever one you prefer.

I really want to use Piefed, but Voyager app is so, so good

[-] Goodeye8@piefed.social 2 points 1 month ago

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.

@aeharding@vger.social 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.

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

[-] Hanrahan@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Same with Boost, I just don't use my piefed account becase no Boost support..

[-] ada@piefed.blahaj.zone 1 points 1 month ago

People must really like Pie! We just did the same thing with Blåhaj Lemmy yesterday!

[-] otter@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 month ago

It's nice timing! Looking forward to seeing you and your instance in the world of pie :)

[-] Blaze@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 month ago

Great minds think alike!

[-] TinyLittlePuni@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Neato! I love the pie icon. I'll check it out!

[-] asudox@lemmy.asudox.dev 1 points 1 month ago

I like the logo

[-] Jerry@feddit.online 1 points 1 month ago

So 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 supposedly 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? Maybe someone could help me understand.
