Kaity has just spun up a PieFed instance, which is open to anyone that wants to try it out.

PieFed is part of the "Threadiverse" along with lemmy and mbin. If you are already reading this in lemmy, then you already know what PieFed is about.

If you're curious to try it out, or if you're just looking for a way to avoid lemmy, you can find it at https://piefed.blahaj.zone/

Like our lemmy instance, we have set PieFed applications to require manual approval, but if you're already a member of our lemmy instance, you can get auto approved by our modbot by quoting your registration code somewhere in your application.

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?

[–] ada@piefed.blahaj.zone 42 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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?

[–] will_steal_your_username@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 points 14 hours ago

One of the devs is a transphobe

Political stuff. The devs are also behind lemmygrad, for example.

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).

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.

[–] ImADifferentBird@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Which is one of the reasons downvotes are disabled here. A policy I hope will carry over to PieFed.

Yeah, though sadly this seems to make people a lot nastier in their comments sometimes, or perhaps they are juat awful to difference anyway. We still agree they should be disabled though as downvotes sound awful and are often used for mere disagreements, or bigotry, in practise.
