  • PieFed is absolutely a “derivative” in terms of its DNA. It’s basically built as a love letter to Lemmy’s specific flavor of ActivityPub.

    If you look at the raw JSON, PieFed isn’t just “using ActivityPub”, it’s specifically implementing the “Lemmy-isms” that make the Threadiverse work. It uses the same Group actor logic, the same Dislike activity extensions for downvoting, and even mirrors Lemmy’s API routes so you can use apps like Jerboa.

    In a way, it’s like how a 3rd-party controller is a “derivative” of a PlayStation controller. The internals are completely different, but it’s shaped exactly that way so it can plug into the same console and work perfectly. PieFed chose to speak “Lemmy-ish” instead of just “ActivityPub-ish” to ensure it wasn’t an island.

    I really do not understand all the .ml hate. If you have it so much why are you using their technology (Lemmy)? So much bullshit being reposted as fact. Basically echo chamber brigading. I left Reddit to escape this shit…

    Edit: although judging by your post history you lack conviction and joke about everything, so maybe I missed the mark
