Also: is #PieFed the only platform that does something with HTTP status code 418?

There’s an #iOS app for #PieFed called #Blorp.

And my opinion? I’m impressed. The UI puts Reddit to shame—clean, fast, and without all the extra cruft. The whole app is just 26MB!

No ads. No clutter. Just pure bliss.

See for yourself in this screenshot.

The headline reads: “Netflix’s historical epic is ‘Lord of the Rings meets Kill Bill’.” Below it is an image of a shirtless, muscular man with long hair and a beard, his face streaked with blood, standing in front of thatched-roof huts. The post links to a Mirror UK article. Engagement shows 10 comments and a score of -2. The second post is also from c/movies@piefed.social, posted by TheImpressiveX@piefed.social. It reads: “‘The Toxic Avenger’ is now Certified Fresh with 83% on Rotten Tomatoes.” At the bottom, the app’s navigation bar is visible with icons for Home, Communities, Post, Inbox, and Messages. The status bar at the top shows “ROGERS 5G+,” the time as 5:19 PM, battery at 57%, and the user’s profile photo in the top-right corner.

August update:

I’d gotten waylaid a bit due to "life" (and had some initial challenges in testing federation…all good now from the looks of it), but at this point

I can safely say my #PieFed instance is very nearly ready to go public! 🥳

I'm convinced the public web forum of tomorrow is a #Threadiverse installation, and PieFed has risen to the top as the best project in this genre imo. Can't wait to go all-in on promoting it.

Sneak peak:

One of the really nifty things about using #PieFed and federation is if you want to stick with Mastodon et al. but still "join" a community on Human Web Collective, you can just paste the community URL into your search and follow from there.

Then anything posted there gets boosted by, say, @ai_free and when you reply to one of those posts, it shows up as a comment on the PieFed instance.

I know this is all Fedi 101, but it still feels magical and cool! 😁

@continuation I added a 4chan meme blocker to #PieFed but lots of instance admins asked me to make it optional. And most of them turned it off.

Weird.
