Hello!

I updated the retrolemmy server to 0.19.16.

If you have trouble logging in, clear your cookies. If it doesn’t show up, force a refresh (with ctrl+F5 on PC)

The update went on without many problems, and only took a few minutes. Also I've worked on stability issues, and it should be more stable now.

If you have any problems or questions, send me a message or reply to this thread.

RetroLemmy presents: RetroFed.com

In our 3rd year of lemmy, we have decided to also host a PieFed instance. This instance is fully set up, and compatible with lemmy communities. Also, this instance is also set up with http included for old hardware. Meaning you can finally procrastinate on the fediverse on your old hardware!  

 

What is PieFed?

PieFed is a Lemmy/Mbin alternative written in Python with Flask. It is a younger software compared to lemmy, but the development goes blazingly fast (comparatively). And new features are added and improved often.  

 

Why host another? We already have lemmy.

Lemmy is amazing software, but might not be everybody's favorite. We'd like to provide a little bit of choice, and piefed seemed an interesting alternative.

 

Is this the end of RetroLemmy?

No. RetroLemmy will remain functional and updated for the foreseeable future. If this changes in the future, we will let you know beforehand. Just know that we have no intention to scrap this instance.  

 

What does piefed do that lemmy don't?

  • Flair  

  • Catagories and Topics  

  • Feeds (like the Retrolemmy feed, in case you'll miss the local feed of retrolemmy)  

  • Community wikis  

  • Consolidated Comments (View all comments from multiple related posts on one page)  

And more. Full list of features here.   

 

Will the communities move?

No. All communities are all still available and usable through RetroFed, so the communities can stay on lemmy.   

  If you have any other questions, you can reply here, or dm me or @[email protected] directly.

The Darkside Detective: A Fumble in the Dark, a comedic point 'n click game is free on Epic

I know Epic is not well liked, but I always go out of my way to claim free games. I've read somewhere that epic has to pay all claimed free games to the developer.

Either way. It's a free point 'n click for people who are interested.
