I’ve spun up three more #Piefed communities—each one about topics I want to dive deeper into:

Food, books, comics—these are conversations I keep circling back to. Now I’ve got dedicated spaces for them, and the best part is I can crosspost straight from Akkoma.

Generally speaking, #Lemmy and #Piefed tend to attract two kinds of people:

  1. Folks who don’t like Reddit and genuinely want to build something better
  2. People who got forced out of Reddit and now feel entitled to be an asshole

Group 1 is great. Group 2 is the problem.

@tchambers Cheers :)

I'm hoping to maximize the dispersal of new user across all the instances so wanted to keep other options visible from the beginning.

Can't wait to roll this out more widely. A key part of it is that it's built-in to every #PieFed instance, not a separate web site. So it's power comes from everyone being on board.

Topic removal from a category/community

Hey @rimu@piefed.social question to you about post removal...

If a remote user posts to a local community, and the local mod deletes it (let's say it's spam of off topic), does the local community federate a delete out?

Technically you're not deleting the content, just removing it from the community.

Is there a different action Piefed takes?

People complain that #Mastodon doesn’t integrate with non-Mastodon services. But that’s true of Twitter too—no one ever expected Instagram or Reddit inside Twitter.

The difference is Mastodon can do what Twitter never could. It talks to Instagram-like services such as #Pixelfed. It talks to Reddit-like services such as #Piefed. And Mastodon itself isn’t even Instagram-like or Reddit-like.

If that sounds confusing, that’s fair. It just means shifting your mental model of how the social web actually works.

This account has never focused on a single topic.

It’s about my life—and whatever I’m passionate about in the moment.

But if you’re only here for one of those topics, you might want to follow the #Piefed communities I regularly cross-post to:

Bonus? You’ll get to hear from other contributors in those communities too.

More to come—stay tuned.

Someone just sent me a very angry DM because their replies to my #Akkoma posts (I don’t use Mastodon) showed up on #Piefed.

So let’s clear this up. When I tag a Piefed community like @movies@piefed.social or @videogames@piefed.social, your replies automatically appear on Piefed. On Piefed itself, the @ is swapped for a !—that’s how communities are marked.

That’s not a bug. That’s ActivityPub doing what it does best. Almost anything you post on Mastodon can show up elsewhere on the Fediverse.

#Pixelfed and #Piefed are not the same—and no, the similar names don’t make them cousins. They’re completely unrelated projects.

Pixelfed is for images. Think Instagram without Meta breathing down your neck.

Piefed is for communities. Think Reddit without the corporate overlords.

But here’s the beauty: both run on the #Fediverse, which means they actually talk to each other. I’ve posted from Pixelfed right into Piefed—something you’ll never see in the walled gardens.

I know a lot of you still think of the #Fediverse as just “Mastodon”.

But it’s far more than that. There’s an entire ecosystem of federated message boards that’s already proven popular: #Piefed, #NodeBB, #Lemmy, #Mbin, and #Discourse.

Even the classics like #Friendica and #Hubzilla have solid forum features baked in.

If you’re only here for the microblogging, you’re missing a key piece. Communities built around interests are something #Twitter never offered, and #Bluesky still doesn’t.

So if you’re looking to replace your #Facebook Groups, the Fediverse already has you covered.

This is another core reason why #Lemmy and #Piefed are better than #Reddit.

On Reddit, if a head mod of a major subreddit goes toxic or starts power-tripping, the community is stuck. That mod only got control because they lucked into claiming a name like r/movies or r/pics first—and now they hold the keys.

On the #Fediverse, it doesn’t work that way. If people don’t like !movies@lemmy.world, they can move over to !movies@piefed.social. Even if lemmy.world is the biggest Lemmy server, it has no monopoly on access.

And that’s exactly what happened. People voted with their feet. Which is why !movies@piefed.social is now the most active movie community on the Fediverse.

I’m glad I built my #Fediverse communities on #Piefed—because they’re rolling out a “move community” feature.

If site admins go toxic or a server is circling the drain, you won’t be trapped. You can just pick up and move elsewhere.

That’s the Fediverse’s killer feature, the one corporate social media can never match: the freedom to walk away.

I need more people to join !videogames@piefed.social.

Yes, I talk about video games here a lot. But I want a community that’s specifically about games—and one that’s actually good.

Now, why spin up a new video game space when #Lemmy already has several? Easy: I think #Piefed is better.

It’s smoother to crosspost from #Mastodon. The moderation tools are more powerful. And unlike most platforms, Piefed even lets you move your community elsewhere if you need to.

But here’s the real kicker: so many gaming communities on Lemmy feel stuck in Reddit-land. Bad moderation. Too self-serious. The same stale culture.

What I want to build instead is simple: a gaming community that’s open, welcoming, and fun.

Big news for abnormalbeings.space: I will tighten the focus onto #peertube and close down the #lemmy and #mastodon instances come this monday. A complete breakdown can be found at:

lemmyverse.link/piefed.world/p

I will be moving over to #piefed at piefed.world and mastodon at mastodon.world respectively, which seemed prudent to me, as I am already giving to the #fhf on #liberapay

If you have already been using my PeerTube instance or are looking for one, check the above link for details!
