Want a piece of PieFed? I'm now running a PieFed instance: https://feddit.online
A long time ago I had a #KBIN instance, feddit.online. KBIN is part of the "threadiverse", a Reddit replacement.
When KBIN was abandoned, I shut it down. KBIN became #MBIN and Jerry Bell opened a fantastic MBIN instan...
There used to be a Kbin instance called feddit.online, which was shut down. @Jerry@hear-me.social just announced on Mastodon, that he brought feddit.online back to life, this time using PieFed. PieFed is a pretty neat alternative to Lemmy and Kbin/Mbin, created by @rimu@piefed.social and of course it's fully free and open source on Codeberg: https://codeberg.org/rimu/pyfedi
It has some cool features like “Topics”, which are basically groups of multiple communities that you can view all at once (similar to these Lemmy feature requests: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/3071https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/issues/1113).
This is good news that the instance is back up again. But as an Outsiders pov, I'm going to be super hesitant on wanting to interact with the instance since it's already proven to be shut down once.
Being said, I love to see people monopolizing on better technology that have more feature sets, and honestly it looks pretty dang cool
It seems it shut down over Kbin developments. I guess it could have done its users a favour by changing to Mbin, but still... Fair enough. I'm hopeful :)
