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.
Video introduction the codebase
Curious to see if people haven't heard about it, Piefed seems to be mentioned quite often
I'd heard of it already, since apparently I had added it to my block list, but for the love of me I cannot remember why. Looks like a pretty nice and standard Lemmy visualizer.
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.
No need to be on Lemmy that much, just watching !fedimemes@feddit.uk you would see Piefed mentioned every week
Same here, on !fediverse@lemmy.world
I'm on Lemmy all the time and I didn't know that community. But thanks for sharing, this is what I'm talking about.
Seeding a new spot takes work
Yeah but usually it's just "try piefed", with a smug tone so it's kind of hard to take people seriously.
Aside from that, adoption becomes a hassle for everything fediverse due to the whole pick your server thing, I went from fmhy to nsfw to dbzero to cafe... I'd be so happy if picking a server would not require so much trial and error.
What drove you from dbzer0 to cafe, blocking ml?
It takes trial and then error because it's user depend, some people might have gone the opposite, from cafe to dbzer0
Yeah, ml and hex.
Too much mexican goverment propaganda and getting swarmed by those users to defend it, is not a good time.
I know, and it's a pain... And it will always be a pain. That's also what discourages me from trying piefed, having to server jump until I find a decent one again.
