Not sure if this is the right place to ask but I thought I’d give it a shot. I’m adding PieFed to Lemmy’s Wikipedia

Under this section

ActivityPub is the protocol used to allow Lemmy instances to operate as a federated social network. It allows users to interact with compatible platforms such as Kbin[10] and Mastodon.[16]

To add PieFed a source is needed. I’d prefer something other than the PieFed site as it’s not the best source for wikipedia I’ve checked all the Fediverse news place I could think of. Any article for a large news network which as unlikely as it is would be a good fine or a Fediverse blog or something like that would work

Thank you!

    From Wikipedia itself:

    Wikipedia articles should be based mainly on reliable secondary sources, i.e., a document or recording that relates to or discusses information originally presented elsewhere.

    […]

    Primary sources are often difficult to use appropriately. Although they can be both reliable and useful in certain situations, they must be used with caution in order to avoid original research. Although specific facts may be taken from primary sources, secondary sources that present the same material are preferred. Large blocks of material based purely on primary sources should be avoided. All interpretive claims, analyses, or synthetic claims about primary sources must be referenced to a secondary source, rather than original analysis of the primary-source material by Wikipedia editors.

    When editing articles in which the use of primary sources is a concern, in-line templates, such as {{primary source-inline}} and {{better source}}, or article templates, such as {{primary sources}} and {{refimprove science}}, may be used to mark areas of concern.

    In other words, if you don’t have any secondary sources, primary sources are also OK, they should just be used with caution.
