Any interest in a piefed.earth instance? (kbin.earth)

Exactly the title. I was considering setting up a PieFed server since that seems to be all the rage, and I thought I'd ask if y'all would have any interest in that.

It would be run with exactly the same polices as kbin.earth is run: lite defederation, be respectful, no spam, and no porn.

To add some info, PieFed doesn't have microblog capabilities yet, but it does have quite a lot of features that Mbin does not have, such as Feeds (combined community views), and the moderation/administration tools seem to be off the scale (in a good way).

I will admit, PieFed's API is nowhere near as mature as Mbin's, and definitely not Lemmy's, because that's just not what the PieFed developers are focusing on. Interstellar does provide PieFed support though.

@jwr1@kbin.earth Do correct me if I'm wrong, but what you're suggesting here is running separate Mbin and PieFed instances in parallel, right? This isn't strictly about moving, moreso expanding?

Yes, in parallel, both at the same time. Sorry if I hadn't made that clear.

Considering there wasn't anybody interested yet, I'm not even sure if I will set it up. I'll just have to see.
