Lemmy.ca's Main Community

It would be nice if they had ability to collapse comments.

Awesome, is part of the motivation here to guard a bit against the unpopularity of the Lemmy devs / lemmy.ml?

I do somewhat feel like they've made people a bit more skeptical of the Lemmy name, PieFed might be an easier sell as a reddit alt.

Pics and memes look better on pied. Oh boy how many accounts am I going to have now?

Trying out PieFed after 2 years of Lemmy and it's looking more and more like Voyager has ended it's time on my phone

I'm not quite sure what this is and why I should use this over Lemmy .... but I'd like to give it a try! lol. Also very cool how the Fediverse allows for different entry points and view the same content.

Congrats on the expansion!

Does PieFed have an api yet that lets it work with Lemmy apps?

Excellent work folks!

The true power of federation showing itself here. In this case, it's two software packages with the same server/admin team -- which basically future proofs both.

I'd make a recommendation: have some sort of cross-pollination tool. Basically, pull the database of all subscribed communities on Lemmy.ca and have a bot subscribe to the same on PieFed, and vice versa. Probably easy to do if you have server-side access.

Furthermore, in the ideal world, "Local" from the Lemmy instance includes the piefed.ca local commuities. This might be a harder ask. The reason would be to prevent bisecting the Local feeds.

Finally, ideally there is a community migration tool, to cross between Lemmy and PieFed if a community wants to move from one side to the other. This would be a bigger project, but would future proof Fedican even further should either piece of software become badly maintained.

Well, okay, I just created a year's worth of work for a programmer. How can I help?

Is the API active? I want to use PieFed over Lemmy, but don't like to join so called "flagship instances", they always go overboard with moderation at some point.

So instead of joining piefed.social I signed up with .au, only to find out that the admin never bothered to activate the api, so can't use any apps, and posts aren't federating outwards properly.

Edit: Confirmed working, registration sent.

Edit 2: Approved within 5 min, thanks for that!

I’m just happy we have another Canadian instance

Hello from the other side!

Nice. Already registered.

Is there a recommended android app for it?

It suck that they implements karma and collapsing downvoted comments. Two censorship methods

Pie flavor. I'm stoked that Piefed has Atkinson Hyperlegible as a font choice! It's my favorite font, especially for ereaders.

Stuff like this really helps reinforce why the fediverse is the best platform. Portability is no joke.

Congratulations!

Oh great!
