Kaity has just spun up a PieFed instance, which is open to anyone that wants to try it out.

PieFed is part of the “Threadiverse” along with lemmy and mbin. If you are already reading this in lemmy, then you already know what PieFed is about.

If you’re curious to try it out, or if you’re just looking for a way to avoid lemmy, you can find it at https://piefed.blahaj.zone/

Like our lemmy instance, we have set PieFed applications to require manual approval, but if you’re already a member of our lemmy instance, you can get auto approved by our modbot by quoting your registration code somewhere in your application.

    Okay I’m super impressed so far! I absolutely love this. Way better than lemmy imo, I’ll be migrating there fully. The wiki feature for the HRT community is gonna be super handy and things like post flairs/tags is something many have missed here!

    Things like a [transmasc] and [transfem] and [transneutral] tag for trans_memes f.ex!

      I tried to love that trans pride theme, but the nicest thing I can say about it is that I’m happy there is explicitly a trans pride theme :P

    Neat! I’ll have to play with it when I get the chance.

    How does PieFed differ from Lemmy? At first glance, they seem like similar applications. Does it have any particular strengths or additional features I might want to try out?

      There are lots of little usability improvements, and configuration options, but they are functionally very similar.

      But it also has the advantage of not being written by the lemmy devs, which is a deal breaker for some folk

      You don’t have to, your existing account will work perfectly fine.

      But on the other hand, we’re not rationing them out based on how many you already have either!

      Go to https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/link for a code you can use to get instant registration approval.

    is piefed like sharkey to misskey or glitch to mastodon? or is it something different all together? just wondering. i would love a differently developed lemmy so that would be great!

    also just curious will piefed also eventually get downvotes disabled like here? i love getting rid of the toxicity of it :)
