    Hi. I assume you mean feddit.online, the Piefed instance in North America? feddit.online is my server.

    Nope, no blog.

    piefed.social may be a couple of days ahead of feddit.online for software changes. I generally redeploy the Piefed code every 2 days. The amount of development is incredible and so code changes are constant. The instance would fall behind swiftly if I didn’t deploy several times a week.

    The topics are entirely different between feddit.online and piefed.social as they are assigned by the Admin for each community and no two Admins will ever create the same topic structure. I have no idea if one did a better job than the other.

    piefed.social is the mother ship. Feddit.online tries hard to match the mother ship in terms of performance and features.

    As for infrastructure differences, I don’t know the differences because I don’t know the piefed.social infrastructure. Feddit.online is split between two servers running on Digital Ocean. – The application itself runs on a 4GB 2 vCPU general purpose server. – The PostgreSQL database is on a separate 4GB 2 vCPU database-optimized server

    I use feddit.online all the time and I like how it runs.

    Let me know if there’s any other information you’d like about it.

      Very cool Jerry! Incredible detail and response time.

      As a fellow (though admittedly quite ashamed with our current geopolitical situation) USian, I’d like to swap to feddit.online as my daily fedi-driver if the performance/stability is decent, and if it’s cool with you of course :D

      Only other question I have is–What is the intended purpose of feddit.online? Is it just a hobbyist project for fun?

        Honestly, I am also ashamed to say I’m an American these days. I still can’t believe how the election turned out. I am so distressed.

        There are two reasons I opened feddit.online, and the other 9 public decentralized instances.

        First, I want to do my part to promote publicly owned social media. I believe centralized, billionaire-controlled social media is messing up people’s heads. Turning them into stupid zombies. They caused the political problems we face because they want more power and money. Nothing else.

        Second is to get the technical experience. Running these websites has taught me a lot. And some day I’d like to focus this knowledge into helping Open-Source projects.

        My other open servers are: Mastodon, Friendica, Peertube, Pixelfed, Matrix, XMPP/Jabber, Phanpy, Bluesky PDS, and Mobilizon. I also have 3 private servers (WordPress, NextCloud, and an Email server).

        You’re welcome to join. Everyone is. The light is on for you!
