I want to join the Fediverse. I don’t have a computer or anything to make something like a Lemmy instance, and I found that NodeBB will easily allow you to make a forum quickly, but I have to pay to do so. Should I just pay when I can or is there a free way to make a federated instance on a software?

the most similar one so far i can find would be piefed.

What features made you choose PieFed over Mbin/Lemmy? What features do they have that you’d like to see in PieFed?

After using VLC for over 15 years, I decided to explore a little more. I had no clue that it comes with thousands of internet radio stations on Icecast, as well as the ability to add all your podcasts into it (just need to find the link to your podcasts hosting service). I no longer use any streaming services (to me, they are criminal, plus they're full of ads and generally getting worse and more expensive every day)

For example, things that are posted in one instance being delayed in the other, things that are removed not being removed, name changes not showing up, being directed to the wrong places when searching things, info not showing up letting people know they are banned, etc.

I think the only thing worse than something not being private, is if the fact that it's not private is not common knowledge leading to tons of people thinking it's private.

Its gone from F-Droid Store..

I created a secondary Pixelfed account to test the share functionality, but none of the posts I've shared from my main account are showing up in the new account’s feed.

I was reading this post https://lemmy.world/post/3049732 and it seems like there are lots of different desires and uses for people to want to hide certain types of content.

Hi everyone, I just created a PeerTube account on https://makertube.net/ and wanted to subscribe to a channel on a different instance. I click subscribe and get the pop-up that I have subscribed, however when I reload the page it's gone again, and nothing shows up in my subscriptions. It does the same thing for different channels on different instances. What's going on?

I've created !polls@piefed.social. Normally I would go to the big community promo communities on Lemmy and promote it there. But, since this is a polls community and Lemmy doesn't support polls yet, the community is completely empty when viewed from Lemmy.

Lemmy have Moderator feed which only show post from community in which you mod.

It seems like it should be sort of a priority for the fediverse to create a high quality alternative to Facebook, which is one of the largest platforms out there, and probably what a lot of people think of when they think of "social media", and yet, the marketing and overall adoption of Friendica is simply abysmal, to put it bluntly.

I'm new here and think it's developing very nicely. Congrats and thank you!

I just created an account here just a couple of days back, so I don't know if this is normal or a bug, so I thought of asking here first.

After I post an article, I can see where the article was cross-posted. I would like to see this before posting, so I don't repost the same article to the same comm.

Recently joined and started a community for people who want to move away from Lemmy and want to see Lemmy loosen its stranglehold on the threadiverse, if that seems like something interesting to you consider checking out !cancel_lemmy@piefed.social

Due to the unfortunate down-time of slrpnk.net we are currently researching possible blockers for creating a Lemmy to Piefed migration guide or script for a relaunch in 1-2 months.

Currently the profile and banner images that are gifs don't animate/loop in piefed this is different compared to lemmy and mbin. This is also true for other formats like animated jxl, webp and avif, etc. It would also be great if there was an option to enable/disable this behaviour in the settings or in low bandwidth mode.

I'm yet another lemm.ee refugee looking for a new home. I signed up to piefed.social, and in the process was required to select at least three interests. That seems to have been used to sign me up to 58 separate communities, none of which I actually wanted to be signed up to! I can see how it can be a good way to fill new users' feeds and give them a starting point, but I'd really like to see an option to say "Don't add me to anything, I'll handle it from here". Unsubscribing from all of those was painful.

Hey, I'd like to know if an option for right alignment could be added for the main menu on mobile?

This directory contains known content creators and their channels in the PeerTube vidiverse. The directory is a work-in-progress and everyone is welcome to suggest content creators.

UPDATE: the final (for now) version has been published at https://piefed.social/rules

There is not enough people on this site to properly achieve its purpose which is to post and discuss content. People would flock to old.lemmy.world if it was advertised. Probably seeing proper migration in a few weeks.

Hello! TL;DR for the unnecessary long background info I just typed up then deleted:

I want to add my Lemmy alt account to some piefed community which I migrated how I do it? Thanks

Hi. I'm looking for a tool to run a small community. I'm hoping this crowd has seen something similar and can make recommendations. Here is the use case.

Every community with 10 or more MAU listed below

My main home and favourite place om the fediverse slrpnk.net has been down for what feels like 48hrs. I dont know how to check where or why its down of there even is a message about it. Does anyone know anything regarding this?

It would be great if we had a way to mark images/videos/links on a post as a spoiler.

Why is there no fediverse project forma online sales (like eBay)?

Pewds has been dabbling more in Linux and engineering content lately, and considering he's essentially retired and doesn’t rely on YouTube ad revenue anymore, wouldn’t it be amazing if he also started posting his videos on PeerTube in parallel?

I'm loving the Feeds feature, but just some things I've noticed.

I was thinking about donating a few dollars, but I noticed all the donation links are monthly subscriptions. Is there any way to donate to piefed in a one time payment?

I've been considering launching a Lemmy server for a community lately, but am now back exploring piefed with the Lemm.ee shutdown.

As per title. I've been wondering about this. How can we help when someone managing a community/instance can't find help locally, for whatever reason? Something like an "help wanted" board. Even if it's for one month, three months, etc.

When an instance goes down, all of the images on it go with it. there's going to be a lot from lemm.ee, especially given its size.

Edit: unexpectatly we are back online. Will share how we found a solution later. There might be still some federation issues though.

It's already been 1 day.

just wanted to say that this is excellent. interstellar works so well on the phone. and pieces.social is so great. thank you all so much for your hard work. this is beautiful.

Context: I tried to use the Piefed migration feature to migrate !barcelona@lemm.ee to !barcelona@piefed.social
