Today I interviewed Rimu from PieFed Social. It's a Python powered Forum software built on the Fediverse. It's akin to Lemmy, MBin, Reddit, etc.

It looks like a super nice tech stack, the website loads fast, it connects to everything else. I was sold on PieFed when a community member asked if I could interview Rimu.

After talking with him I knew I was going to make an account. Before I got around to it though I posted the Fireside Fedi episode to my Peertube.

Rimu pinged me because it was set to private, which I quickly realized was my own doing and I fixed it. As soon as I did he let me know that PieFed can natively sync Peertube:

THAT IS THE FEDIVERSE! Pick your software stack and sync anywhere. The power houses of the Fediverse are great, but they're kind of siloing themselves. THIS is what the Fediverse was all about.

You can watch the video from PieFed. You can comment, you can like, you can subscribe to the Forum. It all syncs with my Peertube. THAT is what this is all about! THAT is something big tech can never and will never do.

MORE of this PLEASE! :-D

Thank you again Rimu for joining me, spending your time and energy on FOSS and the Fediverse, and showing me how the Fediverse ideas are still growing and we're still in it's infancy.

With me today is Rimu! Rimu is the primary developer of pyfedi, a link aggregator such as Lemmy / Mbin which is similar to Reddit, written in Python and Flask. Rimu's piefed.social is powered by his pyfedi application and the site looks very clean and looking at the software looks fairly easy to configure. Rimu thank you very much for joining me.

Welcome Fedi Friends to the episode 5 of Fireside Fedi! I'm your host ozoned. Fireside Fedi is a show about folks within the Fediverse. If you're seeing this, you are a part of the Fediverse.

With me today is Johannes! I met Johannes when I found out about the FediForum. FediForum is the “unconference for the people who move the open social web forward.” I want to read Johanne's description on his j12t.org page as I just love it:

“I believe the world is better if people are in control of their own destiny. In technology, that means we need to control our data, freely choose the software we use with our data and fairly negotiate the terms by which we interact with others, including which data is and isn't shared. Not a fan of overlords, in politics and in technology.

Very excited about the opportunities on the resurging open social web / the Fediverse. Also: Facts matter. Empathy, inclusion, opportunity.”

Johannes' impressive current list of projects include Dazzle Labs, FediDevs, FediForum, FedTest and UBOS. As well as many other and previous projects.

With me today is Laurin! Laurin has been a climate activist sine 2019 and is currently working part time on ActivityPods thanks to NLNet. ActivityPods are meant to bring Sir Tim Burnerss Lee's, father of the modern internet, Solid Pod technology and combine it with ActivityPub the protocol that powers the Fediverse. That has to be some of the most technical things I've ever talked about. Laurin, welcome and thank you for taking the time to talk with me.

I have deployed Castopod for those that want just an audio experience. You can follow this from any Fediverse enabled application. I THINK, though I'm not sure and I'd love to hear from those that use Podcasts, that you can also get this in your podcast app. If that doesn't work though, please let me know as I've never podcasted before.

I've also set up Mobilizon in order to manage events around when there are interviews or maybe something else in the future. I believe this is also connected to the Fediverse to follow and you can get an ics file for importing to your calendar app of choice.

I'm also hosting a Proton Calendar ICS file as well for those that want anything I add to that calendar. That'll probably be updated with the Mobilizon stuff.

Welcome MrFunkEDude, I'm honored to have you on the stream. When I asked if you'd join me, you were surprised as if you're just some random person on the Fediverse, but that's what the show is about! All of us. And let me start off by saying your daily affirmations during covid were a massive help to me personally and you weren't just some random person, you were an inspiration and a person to help keep me upright and helped me be a better person. I thank you grateful for that.

Welcome to the intro to Fireside Fedi. It's about us, the Fedizens. It's about getting to know people, making mistakes, and finding forgiveness, kindness, and compassion and knowing that there are real people behind these tools.

Let's journey together to get to know each other.

Welcome Fedi Friends to episode 3 of Fireside Fedi! I'm your host ozoned. Fireside Fedi is a show about folks within the Fediverse. If you're seeing this, you are a part of the Fediverse.

With me today is stux! stux is the owner and administrator of Mastodon's 7th largest server with 20,000 active users, as of the last time I checked. stux also is a 32 year old, who just had his birthday, software developer from the Netherlands and possibly a cat.

In this episode of FsF we discussed what brought stux to the Fediverse, how he accidentally became the admin of one of the largest instances on the Fediverse, and how we all can support open platforms.
