    Just trying Piefed for the first time today. Seems really nice, good work devs! The fediverse can definitely benefit from more options being available besides just Lemmy and kbin. I really like the decision to go with Python to make it easier for people to contribute to the project.

    Shout out to Sublinks and Lotide as well. I have not tried those yet but as I said, it’s nice to have options.

      Sorry, didn’t see this question earlier.

      It is low on server resources. When subscribed to 700 communities (which causes a lot of incoming traffic), CPU load average is < 1. Uses about 1.5 GB of RAM (including postgresql and redis) and disk usage after 2 months of operation is only 3.5 GB.

      Today someone contributed docker configuration and a docker-compose file, which could help with setup. However documentation is limited so it’s not really ready for widespread deployment.
