I want this place to be active, so I post things that might be relevant to others. And the little dopamine boost if I notice that something I posted received some upvotes is nice as well.
Everytime I think there’s nothing going on here, I post something myself. Or if the posts I see are mostly negative, I’ll post something positive. Be the change you want to see.
Keep in mind, too, that you can add as much or as little data as you want. If you want to map the species name of every tree, feel free; if you want to trace over a building and just call it a “building” with no other details, that’s helpful too. So don’t get intimidated; it’s about what you can do, not what you can’t.
Thanks for this! I wanted to add a public ping pong table a couple weeks ago but got overwhelmed by all the data fields in Vespucci. I didn’t want to submit an incomplete dataset, but couldn’t figure out which additional fields are needed. Next time I’ll just submit it.

Why don’t you do it?
Exactly. Fork it, make GoFed, extend the Fediverse. That’s how open source works.
Exciting thought
With all the drama lately, I had many moments where I thought this can’t be good for your health. It isn’t good for mine, that’s why I didn’t engage in the threads and focused on more positive things. Most of Threadiverse development and conversation is way more positive, but the drama can paint it in a different light if you’re deep in it. PieFed has brought so much joy to so many of us and continues to do so. Thank you for all your work. I hope you can find some peace in all this.
Before most trolling became toxic, there was the variant of light trolling which was nice and very fun. I remember one person presenting a talk at a hacker conference about trolling, but all they did was talking about trolling as in fishing… for the whole talk. It was a nice way to waste everyone’s time.
I’m using it to track what books I’ve read and to discover new books to read by following others. But you can also create read later lists, write and read reviews, rate books, comment on others reviews or status updates. Also, every time a book isn’t available on Bookwyrm I enjoy to enter the metadata and make it available for everyone.
I created a Mastodon account in 2022 when Musk took over Twitter, but wasn’t really active there. When Reddit closed down their API in 2023 I started using Lemmy daily. Now I’m on Mastodon, Lemmy, PieFed, PeerTube, Bookwyrm and more. Love the fediverse!
It’s delicious
This will be studied by future historians.
