A link aggregator, a forum, a hub of social interaction and information, built for the fediverse.

Welcome to a new era of interconnected content discussion with PieFed – a link aggregator, a forum, a hub of social interaction and information, built for the fediverse. Our focus is on individual control, safety, and decentralised power.

Like other platforms in the fediverse, we are a self-governed space for social link aggregation and conversation. We operate without the influence of corporate entities – ensuring that your experience is free of advertisements, invasive tracking, or secret algorithms. On our platform, content is grouped into communities, allowing you to engage with topics of interest and disregard the irrelevant ones. We utilise a voting system to highlight the best content.

    I would curious to see if you could access piefed using Voyager for Lemmy as a front end. It’s about the only decent app for Lemmy that doesn’t squash things on my iPhone mini with text zoom enabled

      You can’t, no. PieFed and Lemmy are operating in similar spaces, but are completely different architecturally. PieFed doesn’t yet have an API. Unlike Lemmy (and a lot of other modern web platforms), it doesn’t need one to operate, so copying Lemmy’s to the extent that you’d be able to plug in something like Voyager would be overkill. It would probably also be against the TOS for Voyager (Jerboa actively prevents it’s use with anything other than Lemmy, even if the API is the same).

        To be completely honest, if you want a healthy 3rd party app ecosystem, the official UI and backend need to be completely separated with a publicly documented API.

        Biggest win with Lemmy, and biggest fluff with kbin. And it shows when it comes to 3rd party app ecosystem. People wanted to build apps for kbin….

        nothing like that in voyager terms

          Oh okay. Might be though, in the future, if platforms (like Sublinks) get released - it’s not really a relevant issue at the mo.
