There used to be a Kbin instance called feddit.online, which was shut down. @Jerry@hear-me.social just announced on Mastodon, that he brought feddit.online back to life, this time using PieFed. PieFed is a pretty neat alternative to Lemmy and Kbin/Mbin, created by @rimu@piefed.social and of course it’s fully free and open source on Codeberg: https://codeberg.org/rimu/pyfedi
It has some cool features like “Topics”, which are basically groups of multiple communities that you can view all at once (similar to these Lemmy feature requests: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/3071 https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/issues/1113).
Great news!
Edit : sad to see the first comment being really negative
That’s great!!
I love PieFed - hopefully this instance will be a success! It’s nice to see something other than the flagship. PieFed seems pretty flexible, so it’ll be fun to see what another instance makes of it.
I would warmly recommend checking it out!
(That’s https://feddit.online and https://piefed.social)
I migrated to the flagship PieFed instance a while ago and haven’t regretted it at all. This place rocks! I would love it if there was an app though, not a big fan of PWAs lol. If I was smarter, I’d try to make one myself. Very exciting to see more instances popping up!
Whoa… !FloatingIsFun@fedia.io looks really good in PieFed’s tile views! It’s kind of what I was going for with my CSS. I think PieFed has a ton of potential, and I want to mess around with it more.
@Jerry@hear-me.social, if you just saw a spike of like 1GB of data getting federated in, that was me manually retrieving my first few hundred posts.
Edit: Oops, I tagged the wrong instance admin named Jerry!
@hitstun @rimu @Andromxda
Wow. You’re right. The display is beautiful! I never saw any communities that showed this feature so well!
I’m glad you joined the server! Welcome.
And a GB is but a drop. Don’t worry about resource usage.
There’s plenty of NSFW content on lemmysnfw.com, I can understand why someone would block NSFW instances for their project flagship instance
If this is so important to you, you are still very much free to start your own instance and see how far it goes.
