As of today, PieFed includes a ‘theme engine’ which makes it easier for people with low or no Python skills to change how PieFed looks and behaves.
PieFed is a lemmy/kbin clone written in Python with Flask.
From the install doc:
My way around this is to use ngrok.com, which is a quick and simple way to create a temporary VPN with a domain and SSL. On the free plan your domain changes often, which will break federation every time you reconnect.
You can now get 1 free static url with ngrok’s free plan. The ‘free’ part of it is that it needs relaunching after a certain period of time (every 2 days, maybe?) but it works well enough to develop things.
Well done!
Is it light to host? I am thinking about offering piefed too.
Maybe @rimu@piefed.social can chime in here. I don’t host an piefed instance.
I do know that it is in beta and hasn’t addressed its moderation goals yet.
Is there a mastadon client in python cos im wondering how hard would it be to combine them?
