Welcome to a new era of interconnected content discussion with PieFed – a link aggregator, a forum, a hub of social interaction and information, built for the fediverse. Our focus is on individual control, safety, and decentralised power.
Like other platforms in the fediverse, we are a self-governed space for social link aggregation and conversation. We operate without the influence of corporate entities – ensuring that your experience is free of advertisements, invasive tracking, or secret algorithms. On our platform, content is grouped into communities, allowing you to engage with topics of interest and disregard the irrelevant ones. We utilise a voting system to highlight the best content.
Video introduction the codebase
I think it’s an alternative way to access the same content, so probably exactly the same number of people you do and do not like
It connects to the same Fediverse. But it has a few filters and features added. And the Piefed instances block some known unpleasant instances by default. And it doesn’t pull in all the content unless someone subscribes… So it should be a bit better. But underneath, it’s the same network and content.
I think that’s how Lemmy works too
Ah, I didn’t know. I’ve never ran my own Lemmy instance. I just found out after installing Piefed, that content doesn’t appear on it’s own. I had to go ahead and add some communities manually. Idk if that changed since.
I think that’s a deliberate decision, one of the benefits being that a new server doesn’t destroy itself by immediately trying to download the entire history of the fediverse!
