Hi and thanks for coming here. :)

We’re happy that PieFed caught your interest and we hope you will find the information you seek:

  • Navigate between wiki pages using the navbox
  • If you seek some info or a feature, in this page, use search in the page from your browser. (Ctrl + F)

For now, the wiki is focusing on users. If you find a typo or wrong info, send a PM to @snoopy@piefed.social :)

What is PieFed?

PieFed is a link aggregator. It is a free and opensource alternative to Reddit, similar to Lemmy and Mbin.

Contents are grouped into communities, allowing you to engage with topics you’re interested and ignore ones you aren’t. We use a voting system to highlight the best content.

It is written in Python, one of the most popular languages among developers.
