Agreed. A Virtual Machine is also an option. That’s how I got started, running fedora vms on my windows laptop ten+ years ago.

I’ve been running 99% Linux for ten ish years or so. I finally got rid of the last windows vm a few months ago. The one hold out piece of software now runs in wine properly and I got to delete that vm.

Hell yeah! Now that is going to loop in my head for the rest of the day…

I don’t think we support mbin export/import ATM, but I’ve not tried

I added Lemmy export and import to piefed a while back.

I have a note to go work on the piefed export to Lemmy import on my List. It worked a while ago but seems unhappy at the moment. I’ll add mbin export to the List as well.

Backyard in your terms. Rimu is the main dev, lots more of us helping.

It’s not a company.

Yes. You can follow a user and get notifications when they post something.

You can follow a user, a community, an individual post, a comment, a topic (collection of communities), and a feed (user made collections of communities).

Then you get notifications for posts/replies as relevant.

This code: https://codeberg.org/rimu/pyfedi/src/branch/main/app/api/alpha

Its mostly freamon and rimu working on that part. Iirc its meant to be lemmy api compatible, but i think there are some adaptations needed to accomadate the piefed way differences.

Freamon got a fork of a lemmy app to sort-of work back in september (https://matrix.to/#%2F!NVUzKiFppMtECaxHQm%3Amatrix.org%2F%24KJqJfus8DVy-B64AC8uWEQ9oiGsRA04AReRF-05nQYA%3Fvia=matrix.org&via=tchncs.de&via=jeena.net) so the alpha api stuff has been coming in since then.

no apps yet. work on an alpha API is in progress though, so soon™ hehe

not a fork, its its own code base built from scratch.

Yes. I added that myself a couple months ago 😎

edit: you have to export your lemmy user settings. that comes down as a .json file. Then you make a piefed user, and there is an import settings in the piefed user profile.

it will also attempt to import any blocks/bans of users/communities you had in the lemmy settings. But if the instance of piefed you are on does not ‘l\know’ about those users/communities it wont add them to bans list. But of course that means the community in question is not federated to the instance you are on, so half-dozen-of-one-six-of-the-other really.

I use piefed, mastodon, and pixelfed. The only AI stuff i see is the stuff i sought out on purpose. At least afaik.
