silly question and it's probably not possible but i wonder if there's a way to sync the sticky posts from this community on piefed too (or make this community more prominent on piefed) since ive been using the piefed instance more and more now that i got used to it. :^

We don't have any stickied posts on lemmy at the moment, so there is nothing to sync, but as I understand it, they will sync fine
That being said, another thing you can do is turn on notifications for the community itself. That way, you'll get a notification whenever someone makes a new post (not comment) to the community. You can do the same thing with individual posts too, and get notifications whenever someone replies to a post, even if you didn't make the original post!
ooh thanks i feel dumb :L i thought i saw one on lemmy but maybe it was just old >_>
Post pinning should be fixed now between Lemmy and Piefed, so if the mods unpin/repin it it should work
but like in the main screen when you first go to the page where it lists all of your subscribed posts. sometimes on lemmy they would stick to the top from the meta subreddit. :^
I just checked, at the moment there's only an announcement function:
Ah, you mean instance-wide pinning! Good point, let me check with the Piefed devs
Has anyone written about the functional differences between lemmy and piefed?
common ada+kaity w
Ada and Kaity sitting in a tree! W. I. N. N. I. N. G!
And also kissing presumably
Lotsa kissys!
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
Could you please share context on the lemmy devs being a deal breaker?
Political stuff. The devs are also behind lemmygrad, for example.
One of the devs is a transphobe
The web site has a list of differences between Lemmy and PieFed:
- Comments with -10 score are collapsed by default.
- Communities are organized into topics. See https://piefed.social/topics.
- Image-heavy communities can have a tiled/masonry view, like https://piefed.social/c/pics@lemmy.world
- People who get downvoted a lot end up with a ‘low reputation’ indicator next to their name. You’ll know it when you see it.
- Hide all posts based on keyword filters.
- Keyboard shortcuts.
- Upvotes in meme communities do not add to reputation.
- Better UI design (somewhat subjective!)
- Improved hotness ranking algorithm (subjective)
- Voting is private.
- See also features for healthy communities.
- Each community has it’s own wiki. Demo
This list isn't exhaustive; one major feature that's not listed there is de-duplication, where reposts all get combined into a single post with a split comment section (one for each individual post).
People who get downvoted a lot end up with a ‘low reputation’ indicator next to their name. You’ll know it when you see it.
Probably not, because we have downvotes disabled :)
Thank you, I was worried :3

Cool, a women indicator
(The joke is Lemmy is sexist mods please don't ban me)
You're correct though.
Anybody who isn't the 'default' cishet able neurotypical white man is marginalised in society and even online, we're also attacked a lot.
Which is one of the reasons downvotes are disabled here. A policy I hope will carry over to PieFed.

I wish there were more apps with piefed support. I like my gestures. Nonetheless, thanks alot fort the instance! Piefed seems great, I'll be happy to try it out here.
Apparently, your namesake (Interstellar) supports PieFed, but I haven't been able to log in to Blahaj's instance with it. It keeps giving me an error saying the API is not enabled.

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!
is there pie? 🍰💖
Basically a message for Kaity, but I am getting a
ClientException: Request failed with status 400: Bad Request: {"error":"alpha api is not enabled"} , uri=https://piefed.blahaj.zone/api/alpha/user/login
when using the Interstellar App and wanted to bring it to your attention. Thanks <3
Piefed doesn't have great 3rd party app support at the moment
What exactly is the “threadiverse?”
Any activitypub enabled software that mimics the Reddit style of longform thread/forum style social media with distinct topics.
Which at the moment is Lemmy, Piefed, and Mbin.
Lemmy Piefed and Kbin I think.
So content aggregators on the fedi?
I just tried it, I like this place :3
What I like: The UI is nice and there are many options that lemmy doesn't have
What I dont: The lack of any formatting options for comments

Do you have any thoughts on how the two compare in terms of resource utilization (CPU / RAM) given a similar number of users and activity?
I've been curious about this, because Rust, the programming language used for Lemmy, is supposed to be a LOT more CPU/RAM efficient than Python, the language used for Piefed. Python, on the other hand, is supposed to be much faster to initially develop in, which would at least partly explain how Piefed gained so many features so quickly compared to Lemmy.
We don't have a point of comparison so far, because the instances don't share the same concurrent user numbers, but it would be hard to beat lemmy, which is really light for the volume it handles.

the best part about it is the cute lil shark icon in the trans pride theme <3
lemmy could never
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
Ohhh it’s piefed not pixelfed! My dumb ass was trying to login with pixelfed app -.-
Is the plan to switch to it permanently?
Not particularly. There is no migration path between lemmy and PieFed, so we're just spinning up two instances, and we'll see what happens

Really dumb question probably, but are piefed communities reachable from lemmy and vice versa?
Look at the account I'm replying to you from :)

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

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 :)
To the best of my knowledge, it is its own thing, rather than a fork of lemmy
