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
Interesting… I’m very happy with the instance I’m on and with Lemmy but if I decide to self host I might set up piefed instead.
I personally do not like the
People who get downvoted a lot end up with a ‘low reputation’ indicator next to their name
I think this creates a prejudice on the person before you even read what they have to say and overall increases the echo camber effect.
and the
Upvotes in meme communities do not add to reputation.
to me seems quite an arbitrary rule.
I’ve been on Piefed for a while. All the people I’ve seen with the warning deserved it.
Understandable. Yeah, it’s a matter of preference.
Curious to see if people haven’t heard about it, Piefed seems to be mentioned quite often
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.
Faster?
Speed is literally not even a concern, the only thing I want more of is people. Make it easier to sign up or something
Federation speed is a serious backbone concern. It aligns with perceived reliability. If it seems like comments votes or posts aren’t “going where they’re supposed to” then people can lose faith in the platform
So is it a fork of Lemmy?
not a fork, its its own code base built from scratch.
