What is PieFed
PieFed follows a similar format as Lemmy and Mbin. Those that are familiar with Lemmy will find it very similar, with some additional features including topic lists, optional private voting, new mod and admin tools, crosspost de-duplication, community wikis, etc. Thanks to how the fediverse works, you can use either lemmy.ca or piefed.ca to interact freely!
We will put together some guides on our non-profit’s website at some point. In the meantime, we have created [email protected] for us to learn from each other. There is also the official [email protected] community which has a similar purpose.
We have done some testing and we are learning as we go, but please bear with us while this new platform gets going 🙂

For me it was the deduplication that takes me to PieFed. I’m only using Voyager at the moment as I’m lying on my side and the PieFed PWA rotates.
Here’s hoping Voyager updates to support PieFed.
Oh my gosh, I was just experiencing the PWA rotating thing and it was driving me nuts trying to figure out how to stop it. Nothing else on my Android auto-rotates, and I didn’t immediately see any settings that could stop it. It seems like all PWAs created from Chromium (Vanadium to me) do this on my phone. I created the PWA from my Firefox app (Ironfox to me) and it seems to work fine, though it uses my installed Firefox extensions on the PWA - notably I have uBlock Origin set to block images above 50kB until I click them, which I have mixed feelings about using in conjunction with PieFed.
