I’m not quite sure what this is and why I should use this over Lemmy … but I’d like to give it a try! lol. Also very cool how the Fediverse allows for different entry points and view the same content.

Congrats on the expansion!

Does PieFed have an api yet that lets it work with Lemmy apps?

Excellent work folks!

The true power of federation showing itself here. In this case, it’s two software packages with the same server/admin team – which basically future proofs both.

I’d make a recommendation: have some sort of cross-pollination tool. Basically, pull the database of all subscribed communities on Lemmy.ca and have a bot subscribe to the same on PieFed, and vice versa. Probably easy to do if you have server-side access.

Furthermore, in the ideal world, “Local” from the Lemmy instance includes the piefed.ca local commuities. This might be a harder ask. The reason would be to prevent bisecting the Local feeds.

Finally, ideally there is a community migration tool, to cross between Lemmy and PieFed if a community wants to move from one side to the other. This would be a bigger project, but would future proof Fedican even further should either piece of software become badly maintained.

Well, okay, I just created a year’s worth of work for a programmer. How can I help?

I’m just happy we have another Canadian instance

Nice. Already registered.

Is there a recommended android app for it?

I just saw the FAQ section after.

Stuff like this really helps reinforce why the fediverse is the best platform. Portability is no joke.

Oh great!
