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.
Is the plan to switch to it permanently?
Not particularly. There is no migration path between lemmy and PieFed, so we’re just spinning up two instances, and we’ll see what happens
Apparently, some communities have had some success migrating, so there might be that possibility if that’s the path you want to go down.
If that happens organically with enough communities, then it might be something we consider, but I’m not going to push people to uproot their communities if they don’t have to.
Thanks. I understand that not everyone is sharing my views on the issue, but I believe that FOSS don’t belong to specific persons, even if they started the project. There are 260 contributors to lemmy, and I’m one of them (small contributions though yet, but anyway), and I’m enby and unconditionally support trans rights. I love Lemmy, and despite the views of one of the original devs, it helps trans people and LGBTQ+ people to express themselves on free independent platforms
