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.

    Is “threadiverse” a thing? It feels like it gives far too much influence to Threads. I’ve never heard the term. “Fediverse” is better, though maybe this is a specific subset of ActivityPub applications?

      Threadiverse was a thing before Threads was a thing…

      And it specifically refers to the subset of “reddit like” ActivityPub platforms, so it’s more specific than Fediverse. Threadiverse instances are part of the Fediverse too, but they’re quite distinct from Mastodon etc

        Fair enough. I’d never heard that term before for some reason, only fediverse.

        Is “threadiverse” basically just fediverse (social) platforms that are thread-based (as opposed to, say, blog-based or some other federated type of thing)?

        Like, if fediverse & thread conversation, then is threadiverse?
