PieFed is an open source, federated forum and link aggregator designed for community discussion across the Fediverse. It uses ActivityPub to let posts and conversations flow between independent servers while keeping each community in control of its own rules and moderation.
Key Features
- ActivityPub federation for cross-instance discovery, sharing, and discussion
- Forum-style communities with posts, comments, and moderation tooling
- Admin and moderator features for handling reports, blocks, and instance-level controls
- Media support including image and video uploads
- Asynchronous background processing for tasks such as notifications and maintenance jobs
- Developer-friendly, customizable Python codebase with container-based deployment options
Use Cases
- Hosting a federated community forum that can interact with the wider Fediverse
- Running a link-aggregation hub for news and topic-based discussion with local moderation
- Creating an interest-based community network that remains interoperable across instances
Limitations and Considerations
- Federation behavior and feature compatibility can vary depending on the remote ActivityPub software n PieFed is a solid option for communities that want a forum-like experience with Fediverse interoperability. It balances familiar link-and-comment discussion flows with instance autonomy and moderation control.
