This makes Piefed about 15% of the size of Lemmy while providing roughly the same functionality.

New #PieFed design just landed. One theme has shadows, another is flat. You can take it for a whirl at https://piefed.social

How can I link to a search on a #Mastodon instance? For example https://mastodon.social/search?q=cats does not work.

I want to love #Codeberg but the site is down way way too often. If I create my own #Forgejo instance would it be more reliable or less?

Is the instability due to the software or just because too many people use that instance?

[#]PieFed and #pixelfed are the only #fediverse platforms with a print stylesheet.

Gotta do the basics right.

Absolutely loving the #brutalist "Hercules 1982" theme for #PieFed.

Hercules was the brand of graphics card for the IBM PC that was widely used in the 1980s.

It could do two colours - black and whatever colour the monitor was. For my first year I had a green monitor and then an amber one for the next two years.

You can try it by choosing the theme at https://piefed.social/user/settings

Not sure if you noticed but half the #ThreadVerse is memes. They're not my thing but I enjoyed putting together the best meme consumption experience I could.

Check it out in this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IXVhb4sVZV4 or go to https://piefed.social/topic/chilling/memes?layout=masonry_wide&sort=hot to use it yourself. Click/tap on any image for a full screen lightbox-style image gallery that you can move through by swiping or using the arrow keys.

Can you think of any improvements?

Added full-text search to #PieFed today.

After reading a massive tome about #ElasticSearch earlier this week I realised it was complete overkill and just used the full-text capabilities of #PostgreSQL instead.

Currently PieFed has 46,000 posts and results are fast. It'll be interesting to see how well it copes when there are more posts. Anyone want to make a guess when it'll bog down?

PieFed is a link sharing platform so every post has a 'url' field. By embedding the post url into the RSS feed entry, we get images in our feed if the posts have images. The example I gave in the earlier toot uses images but it could be anything, including video or audio.

Podcasts are just RSS feeds with audio files. This means #PieFed is also a federated #PodCast platform - every community is also a podcast, if the things you post in the community are just links to mp3 files.

[#]PieFed can now send messages to other people on the same instance as well as people on #Lemmy instances.

The UI layout should be familiar to anyone who has used messenger.com or similar apps.

If your account is less than a week old or if you've been downvoted a lot you won't be able to message anyone.

The usual delete, block & report functions are available.
