Crust.piefed.social (the Piefed development instance)

Not all instances implement it yet, I guess it depends how often they pull from the dev branch

Example of search for 'movies'

Piefed now has a built-in alternative to Lemmyverse

One of the main advantages of Lemmyverse is its accumulated knowledge of communities on remote instances which are not yet federated with one's own instance. Does the Piefed version offer this, and if so, how?

In the meantime, I found this post about Piefed loading data from Lemmyverse already: https://piefed.social/post/531611

The main issue with Lemmyverse is that it doesn't show Piefed communities on the Communities page, making them invisible. This solves that issue.

For unfederated communities, not sure, @rimu@piefed.social should known.

Does active people equal to MAUs? Or does it use quarterly active users?

[–] Blaze@lemmy.zip 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

It's weekly, as stated in the last part of the title

Pretty bad miss on my part! :) Cheers!

[–] Blaze@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 weeks ago

No worries, cheers!

Kbin used to try to do this. Not so sure about Mbin, maybe it does. Glad to see a Fediverse option trying to implement something other ones implemented.

Although I am curious how many people take the approach of clicking a random active user online—I know I come to these thread-based forums to discuss common interests, and would never use the feature myself because 1) no guarantee the active user has common interests 2) I would feel like a weird stalker. Curious about the mindset of those who do—and not trying to accuse them of being stalkers just because I personally would feel like one taking that approach.
