Might be a federation issue. Try viewing the URL at the bottom of the post.


Great question. For one thing, it’s built to be a general Piefed video game community. There’s another one on piefed.social but it’s way more meme heavy and into “gamer culture” instead of just video games.

As for why Piefed and not Lemmy, it’s because Piefed communities are portable. That is, if the admin proves to be awful or a server threatens to shut down, you can just move the community elsewhere.

Also, audience. I crosspost from @[email protected], an account that has 14.5K followers. So lots of comments come from Mastodon and Akkoma.

Finally, content. Less outrage culture. More games. Many which you’re likely to have never played before.


BIG MILESTONE! We’ve just crossed 100 posts on [email protected]. 🎉
After a week of building and curating [email protected], the community already has 58 subscribers—and it’s only getting started. I’ve been thinking hard about the kind of place I want this to be. The vision comes down to three things: 1. Real conversations about games 2. Minimal memes 3. Zero outrage culture I want this community to be about joy—a space for people who actually play video games to share what excites them. Not a dumping ground for culture wars. Not another echo chamber for Gamergate-era nonsense. Games are for everyone. And everyone should feel comfortable digging deep here. Talk about an obscure Japanese console. Explore weird European PCs. Or break down the craft behind how a game actually got made. That’s the stuff I want to see flourish. Here’s to the next 100 posts—and beyond. Come join in: https://piefed.social/c/videogames

Not an issue with the community itself, I just have a hard time federating to lemm.ee from atomicpoet.org. Whenever I tag [email protected], my reviews don’t reach there. Piefed is much better when it comes to crossposting from Akkoma.


I’ve created Piefed’s first dedicated community to movies!
If you’re on Lemmy, Mbin, or Piefed follow it here: [email protected] From now on, all my posts about movies, including reviews, will be posted there. Everyone is welcome and you’re allowed to chat about whatever movie-related things you like. 🎬🍿

Four new photo-based Piefed communities!
I've created **four** new #Piefed photo-based communities. They are: 1. [email protected] 2. [email protected] 3. [email protected] 4. [email protected] I'll mostly be using these communities to post photos from #Akkoma and #Pixelfed. Not only will they categorize these photos in a coherent manner, they'll be open for other contributors, and also be easy to moderate. Why not use hashtags instead? Simple: anyone can use a hashtag and no one can moderate them. Which means they're easy to spam. For my purposes, groups are simply better.

[email protected] is replacing @[email protected], which will be retired in a month
Around two years ago, I created @[email protected] -- which proved to be one of the most popular Friendica groups ever. Unfortunately, I had difficulty moderating that group and so I decreased my posting there. However, I saw that Piefed has a much more advanced moderation toolkit, so I'm migrating that community over there. If you still follow @[email protected], be sure to follow [email protected] -- since that Friendica group will be shut down soon.
