Just trying Piefed for the first time today. Seems really nice, good work devs! The fediverse can definitely benefit from more options being available besides just Lemmy and kbin. I really like the decision to go with Python to make it easier for people to contribute to the project.

Shout out to Sublinks and Lotide as well. I have not tried those yet but as I said, it's nice to have options.

From the install doc:

My way around this is to use ngrok.com, which is a quick and simple way to create a temporary VPN with a domain and SSL. On the free plan your domain changes often, which will break federation every time you reconnect.

You can now get 1 free static url with ngrok's free plan. The 'free' part of it is that it needs relaunching after a certain period of time (every 2 days, maybe?) but it works well enough to develop things.

Well done!

Is it light to host? I am thinking about offering piefed too.

Is there a mastadon client in python cos im wondering how hard would it be to combine them?
