Just a quick note to recognize that the first lines of PieFed code were published on the 28th July 2023, just over a year ago. Since then there have been 1400+ changes made by 9 people, involving adding 88,000 lines of code and removing 28,000 lines. The issue queue has 98 open and 99 closed issues.
While join.piefed.social went live in October 2023, it wasn’t until time off work over the christmas holidays enabled a big push to get it ready that piefed.social went live on 4th January 2024.
Since then piefed.social has federated 190k posts, 2.3M comments and 19M votes with 1900 other instances of various types. Besides piefed.social there are 5 other PieFed instances that I know of.
What a year it’s been! I’ve grown significantly as a developer, had a lot of fun and hopefully contributed something meaningful to whatever the fediverse is becoming. Long may it continue!

@xnx if it weren’t inundated with Copmala supporters, I’d think that was cool. 😕
@aasatru @xnx is it edgy or does it literally suck to be stuck on a platform with liberal ideologues? You guys really don’t have the ability to critically think about politics and the world around you past red team bad blue team good. So why don’t you go back to twitter or reddit or whatever cesspool you crawled out of and just let us have this one space that we built? Is it really so hard for you jackals to leave some people in peace?
You know this is the Fediverse, right? You have the power to make your corner of it into whatever you want. There’s nothing forcing you to be federated with lemmy.world or kbin.earth, just as there’s nothing stopping you from exclusively interacting with lemmygrad. The Fediverse is whatever you make it, and everyone has the right to make their corner into whatever they want.
