Been trying to get away from DuckDuckGo because of their support of “AI” stuff, but come on, one of these isn’t even in English, and that’s what I have my language set to.

    Searching “piefed” with Andisearch, it’s for me the only acceptable AI (Andi GitHub)

    Its Summary

    PieFed is a Reddit-like link aggregator and community platform in the Fediverse that launched in 2025[^1]. Users can subscribe to communities, post links, vote, and comment, similar to Reddit but without corporate control[1].

    Key features include:

    • Full Mastodon integration for cross-posting and interactions
    • De-duplication that combines cross-posts and their comments in one place
    • Better moderation tools compared to alternatives like Lemmy
    • The ability to port communities between PieFed servers
    • Clean, simple codebase written primarily in Python

    According to users who have switched from Lemmy, PieFed offers improved user experience and solves many common complaints about other Reddit alternatives[2]. The platform fully integrates with the broader Fediverse, allowing Mastodon users to participate in discussions by mentioning PieFed communities in their posts[1:1].

    The flagship instance is hosted at piefed.social, with the project’s code maintained on Codeberg[1:2][3].
