Hi All,
As the Fediverse continues to expand, we’re looking at other platforms we can run with our ethos - open federation, user choice, and fair moderation.
We’ve seen lots of talk about Piefed, and the benefits of the platform, such as better moderation, combining multiple communities into topics i.e piefed.zip/topic/cats, and the ability for users to better control their own experience.
To that end, we’ve decided to run our own Piefed instance, located at piefed.zip (I know, original!)
This is very much still under construction, but we feel is now able to accept new users, should anyone wish to join.
If you’re interested please check it out, or feel free to ask any questions!
PS - this doesn’t affect our Lemmy instance in any way.
Is access through the Interstellar app something you have to allow on your end? I got an error about an Alpha API. Sorry if this is a super stupid question, I genuinely have no clue how it all works on the instance admin side!
Hey, yeah it is. We will enable the API soon - we just wanted to get everything up before we enabled it :) we’ll need it for our bot stuff anyway.
That’s totally understandable! Please don’t take that question as trying to rush you guys, monkey brain just like putting fitting rocks together and got curious when it didn’t work. :3
API works now, should be good for interstellar :)
