August update:

I’d gotten waylaid a bit due to "life" (and had some initial challenges in testing federation…all good now from the looks of it), but at this point

I can safely say my #PieFed instance is very nearly ready to go public! 🥳

I'm convinced the public web forum of tomorrow is a #Threadiverse installation, and PieFed has risen to the top as the best project in this genre imo. Can't wait to go all-in on promoting it.

Sneak peak:

Noticed that #Piefed autolinks URLs without https and the linkification federates to Mastodon, are there other fediverse servers that do this? Seems like a huge quality of life improvement

@ivantodorov Give Piefed a try - it interoperates with Lemmy and Kbin/Mbin. The cool feature I like about Piefed is it will link messages in cross-posts so that even if you're in a small community, you'll get to see the bigger picture of what's being discussed. On lemmy you have to navigate to the crossposted links to see other comments, which if you don't, can make your experience feel walled-off.

#Piefed has microblogging on the 2025 roadmap.
If they implemented the “move activity” would you migrate?

Having a hard time deciding between #Lemmy, #PieFed, and #Mbin.

What's everybody else using?

(Also, what is the link aggregator side of Fedi called? Linkiverse? Aggreverse? Fedigator?)

Every single #Fediverse server of all types should do this. Every one. “PieFed now includes a simple plugin engine so third parties can extend PieFed functionality without adding their code to the main #PieFed project.” piefed.social/post/1031211 cc: @piefed_meta

I have now found 1070 verified accounts from media organizations in the #Fediverse, but only on #Mastodon, #Flipboard, #Threads, #Bluesky, #Ghost and #Peertube.

Just one is on #Sharkey (👋🏻 @heiseBotti) and none on #Pixelfed, #Lemmy, #Piefed, #Misskey & Co. Are there really none there, or did I miss some?

Idea 7: technology. I really appreciate #PieFed’s deliberate choice to pick a tech stack and coding style that is low barrier to entry. Perhaps something “boring but stable” like Python or Node.js is the way to encourage contribution. For sure this needs to be web first, with the ability to build native apps if people feel inclined. The web is the only open platform that remains, and using modern #PWA features like ability to add web sites to the home screen and support push notifications are now supported on practically all platforms.
