The first commit to the git repository was this day in 2023.
What a ride, how time flies, etc.
So many people have helped and contributed, in big and small ways. Code, translations, ideas, testing, feedback, writing docs, running instances - PieFed wouldn’t be what it is without you all!
Thank you to everyone who has been a part of this journey so far! Onwards to the next chapter!
What’s the next chapter? 🙂
In the latest release I’ve started to go down a path towards proper Mastodon integration. So I’m looking to bust out of the threadiverse and be able to discard my Mastodon account because PieFed will be just as good at showing me Mastodon toots as it is Lemmy posts.
There are 20x more Mastodon users than threadiverse users so this could be a step-change for the project.
Eventually this ends with PieFed fulfilling the promise that the fediverse has for so long never really lived up to - that you can use one platform and access all the content from all the other platforms. But that might be the chapter after next.
I’ll be intregued to see how the mastodon integration wirks from a user perspective. Will it be integrated into the same view, or will it be a separate view? Will we be able to follow individual users, or tags? I look forward to finding out.
I used Kbin.social (RIP) for a while and loved the mastodon integration. A good update for sure
I’m going to try putting it into the same view and see how it goes. It might be that the amount of votes Lemmy posts get vs the number of likes Mastodon posts get is so different that the ranking system that Hot/Scaled uses doesn’t make sense… Only one way to find out!
Cool stuff! And you’ll be able to post to Mastodon add well, or just see content from it? 🙂
technically you’re already posting to Mastodon, Mastodon can already follow Lemmy/PieFed users and communities

I mean, okay, but it’s a limited experience compared to direct Mastodon-Mastodon interaction, right? In terms of messaging and mentions? Or?
Yeah, both!
Any time you post in a community all your Mastodon followers already receive your post and can comment on it.
So you login with your Mastodon account first somehow, in order to integrate?
No, you’d export a CSV of who you follow out of Mastodon, and then upload that into PieFed. Your PieFed account will then follow all the same people you were following on Mastodon.
One day it’d be nice to support Mastdon’s account migration functionality so you can do a proper move which automatically gets all your old followers to follow your PieFed account but that’s a long way off.
Cool! Thanks for taking the time to explain!
