What is PieFed?
PieFed is a link aggregator, a forum, a hub of social interaction and information, built for the fediverse. the focus is on individual control, safety, and decentralised power.
Like other platforms in the fediverse, it is a self-governed space for social link aggregation and conversation. it operate without the influence of corporate entities – ensuring that your experience is free of advertisements, invasive tracking, or secret algorithms. On the platform, content is grouped into communities, allowing you to engage with topics of interest and disregard the irrelevant ones. it utilise a voting system to highlight the best content.
Comments and Reviews
What i like about it:
you can subscribe to posts and comments and get notifications for new comments. thats helpful if a certain topic is particularly meaningful to you and you can follow the discussion, you also have to click to mark something is read so you can slowly and incrementally read stuff, this also seems to work well even for posts made on lemmy.
topics easily allow you to find good communities
there is a wiki system like reddit.
you can write notes about certain users, that can help you decide if to engage with someone (for example because he develops a open source project you like) , or not to engage (if he is a troll).
you can have something like reddit multireddits , where you define custom feeds (for example you can have one for humour, and anothers for news made up of multiple communities on these subjects)
you can subscribe to recieve notifications when some communities get new posts. this is useful because i think in general the more specialized a community is the better is the quality of its discussions. and more specialized communities have a lower frequency of posting. it could also make it easier for new communities to become more popular.
It has user flairs, so people for example can identify themselves as developers of a open source project or as people knowledgable about a certain topic (for example trained therapists)
