The link-aggregator part of the fediverse has grown, with the launch of PieFed’s beta test. PieFed joins platforms like Lemmy and Kbin who all have the ability to share links, and comment and vote on them. PieFed focuses on making the platform easy to manage, maintain and develop for, and uses Python. Developer Rimu is […]
Looks like it’s too late to sign up, I just tried and it kept telling me to “verify that [I’m] not a robot” without giving me anything (like a captcha) to do so.
PieFed dev here.
Sorry about that, I’ve had a hard time getting the captcha working while also having decent XSS protection. I’ve deployed a probable fix, please try again.
The REAL MVP!!! Yay Rimu!!!
It’s been getting some traction over on Mastodon too. Wouldn’t be at all surprised if they’ve restricted signups.
That’s what I figured. Good to see that Stamets got an account though! You know the content will be good with him involved.
I didn’t get an account. I haven’t even heard of it until someone just messaged me asking me about PieFed. Kind of a scumbaggy thing to do if someone took the name.
Wow, that fucking sucks bro. I checked out the instance, and your name (and iconic profile pic) was on the top of whatever they call “All” over there.
If it takes off and you need to create a new name, please keep us informed. Your memes are vital lifeblood to the fediverse, lmao (but seriously everyone here loves you and we wanna keep in touch).
Oh I think that’s just me. I think they’re just showing the federated stuff from lemmy.world and other places on that feed. Was probably just this account you saw.
And if I need to change names then so be it but looks like we’re okay for now <3
Thank you though! I do have a Mastodon account though that you can check out here. I haven’t been super active lately from Holiday stress and what not but if anything ever happens Lemmy wise that’s the first place I’d be going.
Also I forgot you were on lemmyworld, I totally just assumed you were on startrek.website lol, sorry for assuming your instance
Oh you would have assumed correctly up until recently. I only moved over to this instance about a month-ish ago
Gotcha 👌
Ah, I get it! The concept behind “federation” still escapes me sometimes lol. Good to know you’re still rockin’ on a new platform!
You and me both, don’t worry there. And yep! Mastodon I am active on but in a different manner. Things are a bit more chill and relaxed.
That implies that lemmy makes you tense?

I signed up, no problem. There is a bit of funky behavior (I clicked on the Pie logo, and it changed to the word, “Logo” haha), but overall it looks sharp. I"m trying to figure out where to make suggestions - I’m a dark screen person, and it’s got way too much white and blue - colors that suppress melatonin production. I’m mighty fond o’ me melatonin.
I love me some melatonin too, I’m on 5s right now, but I have been up to 20s. Same with the dark mode too.
Were you on mobile or desktop? I’m just using my phone, maybe mobile signups aren’t supported yet.
Desktop, fwiw. I do all the things, e.g. red/orange/yellow light from sunset to sunrise. I now think of Melatonin as a darktime hormone, rather than a sleep hormone. Have you ever noticed, sometimes people are awake in the darkness, and it’s not even spooky or scary,… necessarily.
