Announcing: Piefed.zip - our new Piefed instance! (piefed.zip)

Hi All,

As the Fediverse continues to expand, we're looking at other platforms we can run with our ethos - open federation, user choice, and fair moderation.

We've seen lots of talk about Piefed, and the benefits of the platform, such as better moderation, combining multiple communities into topics i.e piefed.zip/topic/cats, and the ability for users to better control their own experience.

To that end, we've decided to run our own Piefed instance, located at piefed.zip (I know, original!)

This is very much still under construction, but we feel is now able to accept new users, should anyone wish to join.

If you're interested please check it out, or feel free to ask any questions!

PS - this doesn't affect our Lemmy instance in any way.

What is piefed and how is it different (or the same as) from lemmy?

[–] Demigodrick@lemmy.zip 14 points 2 days ago

I'd say its similar to lemmy, but with features people have asked for like a way to combine the feeds of similar communities and more moderation options.

The easiest way I can explain it though is to encourage people to just check it out. It's not as mature in some places, but has lots of features you didn't realise you were missing until you tried them :)

It used activitypub, the same as lemmy, so you can find and interact with all the communities you do on lemmy too.
