See the install instructions to get the latest release. Switch to the "v1.0.x" git branch to run this release rather than the latest code.

Existing instances: 

git pull  
git checkout v1.0.0  
./deploy.sh or ./deploy-docker.sh

PieFed usage has been growing very fast lately, with many communities moving to piefed.social from lemm.ee and several new instances such as piefed.ca, piefed.blahaj.zone, and more .

With this increased attention a light has been shone on many previously ignored parts of PieFed so we've been hard at work closing the gaps and incorporating new ideas from new people. Also it has become necessary to begin doing proper releases so instances have a more stable place to park themselves without being exposed to the constant turmoil that comes from running bleeding-edge code in production.

Due to feedback from a wider audience than before, some of the idiosyncratic features that I built because of my personal obsessions have been made optional and OFF by default, such as the 4chan meme filter, meme communities being flagged as 'low quality' and so on. Private voting has fundamental issues and could be removed soon, I'll make a separate post about that.

The API is now in use and the mobile app Interstellar works with it well. Other apps are working on PieFed compatibility too. Again a lot of work went in there to get it ready for prime time.

To sum up - leading up to this release the last few weeks have showed intensive development with major focus on performance optimization, UI/UX improvements and enhanced federation capabilities. We made significant progress on API development, moderation tools, and overall platform stability.

Below is an incomplete list of some things we've worked on in June. Sorry to those whose work I overlooked, it's been a deluge.

I'm basically the backbone of this project now. 💪

@erotador@lemmy.blahaj.zone, try seeing about your problems now? Maybe it's fixed now

Weell, it IS the default theme on https://piefed.world so depending on how things turn out that could become pretty backbone-y!

PieFed dev OP

We are not making an app, but other people are making their apps connect to PieFed. Here is one of them https://interstellar.jwr.one/

On my phone I use this method - https://join.piefed.social/docs/piefed-mobile/

I really hope Voyager becomes compatible with PieFed, it's my favourite to use by far

PieFed dev OP

There is interest from the Voyager dev, I think things are happening there.

Yes, there's this line in the changelog of the latest Voyager release:

Stay tuned for Voyager connecting directly to Piefed instances!

Exciting! Once this happens I think I will switch to Piefed to be my main account.

Gratulations on the big 1.0 - maybe I'll try setting up an instance again later this month, last time I had issues with the nginx configuration that I was too tired at the time to work through with some health issues going on.
