  12. Tools for PieFed instance admins, in 5 minutes

    This is a quick run-through of the PieFed admin area to give you a feel for some of the great features Piefed offers to make running a fediverse instance easier.

    If you want to know more see the 40 minute version where I go into much more depth and compare it with what Lemmy offers. Even in the 40 minute version I felt rushed, missed out things and like I wanted to linger for longer in some places. There’s just so much.

  13. This site, which is dedicated to an alleged free software community in China, is hosted on servers in Germany. It is being mirrored on i2p (fsfans.i2p), im guessing, without the express knowlegde or permission of the webmaster (William Goodspeed?). One of the more delightful pages is this one https://learn.fsfans.club/

    (the learn.* subdomain is not being mirrored on i2p)

    Anyway the last post on the site was made in nov last year (2025) and Goodspeed explains with BRILLIANT CLARITY some of the issues facing the free software community, and that they are moving to hosting a fediverse server instead. Interestingly they chose a PieFed instance and according to the post they can only federate with other #PieFed or #Lemmy instances (?). I was super curious so I went to visit their instance only to find that the certificate was only for samsung domains?!

    Beyond that point of course I expect that the site is broken, and true to form, fetching pages doesnt work and errors on the page reference an akamai domain (errors.edgesuite.net). For those playing along at home akamai is the last 'A' in the techno-fascists acronym CAGeMAFiA. but to be honest anything beyond the certificate issue is not important, just a curiousity.

    can anyone shed light on what happened to this instanve? I was not on fedi at the time, having my 19 month forced-by-circumstance hiatus, lol @p @r @gabriel @rms @silverpill ?? if not i invite u to ingore this post completely.

    I am surprised that the instance of #mastodon that I use even has an emoji of his face.

    #piefed is worse 'cause they have reaction badges for Trump. Every time I scroll through those, I can feel my blood pressure rising.

    It's crazy. 💀

  29. Piefed now supports species tags!

    You may already know that on Piefed, you can set your pronouns on your profile, and Piefed will automatically put a pronoun tag next to your username in any community where you don’t already have a user tag.

    But what you didn’t know is that today, Piefed released an update that adds the same functionality for species! If your species is listed on your profile and your pronouns aren’t, your species will display next to your username instead!

    To enable it, all you have to do is edit your user profile and add a species field!
