A single user PieFed instance
Sure, there’s always room for improvement. But a lot of books that weren’t available on my instance I could just import from other instances or other sources. I’ve also got some good recommendations from the Explore feed on Bookwyrm.
We have Bookwyrm

Fediverse@lemmy.world•Social Web track at FOSDEM 2026English
8·5 days agoIn addition, some hashtags you could follow on Mastodon-like softwares are #fosdem, #fosdem26, #socialweb and #fediverse.
There’s a lot of stuff happening and watching these hashtags and hanging out on matrix when you’re attending remotely gives you a little bit of a feeling of being there.
Welcome to the Fediverse!

Fediverse@lemmy.world•German public radio and television (SWR) just published a whitepaper about the fediverse: "Chancen des Fediverse für Journalismus"English
11·15 days agoIt wasn’t intentional. One of the authors wrote on Mastodon that there’s “something wrong with the text layers” and the Media Lab is working on it.
It seems like they outsourced the pdf creation to someone who doesn’t know how to properly create pdf’s or the wrong version got published, which I’m suspecting because the title of the pdf is “layout draft 2024-12-16”.

Fediverse@lemmy.world•About decentralised storage of fediverse data.English
7·15 days agoPeerTube is using Webtorrent to distribute the load to all viewers that currently watch the video. And if you host a PeerTube instance you can manually mirror videos on your instance that are hosted on other PeerTube instances.

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•A post-American, enshittification-resistant internetEnglish
17·19 days agoThere well never be a federated Youtube for instance. Think about that the storage that Google uses since videos are not really deleted, and the bandwidth to server that much video.
Until there is. Someday someone will create a PeerTube plugin or some other piece of software that will tackle this. I’m thinking distributed storage, automatic mirroring to other instances when more bandwidth is needed for a popular video, voluntary storage donation from clients (got 10GB of expendable storage on your device? Donate it to the network), or something I can’t even think of. There are so many possibilities in this space. I won’t accept that it’ll never be possible.

Fediverse@lemmy.world•Search Engine Podcast Episode: The Fediverse ExperimentEnglish
3·26 days agoThanks for sharing. This had a similar vibe like The Darknet Diaries. The beats in between were slapping.
I don’t know why they would use AI to setup a managed Mastodon host, I think it complicated things way more than doing it manually.

Fediverse@lemmy.world•Is posting from #Mastodon to a #Lemmy community a good idea or will this just confuse everyone?English
10·1 month agoI like it if the tagged community suits the purpose and the community’s rules are being followed. Love seeing conversations across different fediverse softwares. Hi from PieFed btw :)

Fediverse@lemmy.world•What's the etiquette for posting #mastodon or other federated posts on some of the other reddit-analogues? From what I see you can just mention a #piefed or #lemmy group in a post and it will create aEnglish
8·1 month agoI like seeing posts from Mastodon and other microblogs over here. Just keep the first line clean, it’s the post title on the threadiverse.
I’ve started posting on PieFed lately, and with the ability to set hashtags for my posts, I’m already seeing more comments from Mastodon than when I posted from Lemmy before.
Love federation between different services.





Good idea. I can help with German translations, some CSS and I have a joinfediverse.wiki account as well. I don’t think PieFed is relevant enough for Wikipedia or is it?
