EDIT 11 Apr 2026: chat.piefed.social is now deprecated, use !piefed_dev@piefed.social instead.

PieFed has a chat room now, at https://chat.piefed.social

We're using Zulip for this, which is an interesting combination of forum / chat room with strong support for threaded discussions.

You can use your piefed.social login with chat.piefed.social, BUT you need to use your email address instead of your user name. Use the same password.

The login details used by chat.piefed.social are synced with piefed.social when you log in to piefed.social or when you set a new password in your settings so if you haven't done either of those recently then log out of piefed.social and log back in.

You can also just make an account at https://chat.piefed.social/register/ if you don't have a piefed.social account.

This chat.piefed.social does not replace our Matrix rooms, it is an additional option for those who don't use Matrix.

When you say threads do you mean within a chatroom or something like an Elements/Discord structure with "channel" and "subchannel" because for the former there are decent options, but for the latter there is a lack of "spaces" being defined but it is in development by the Movim and Slidge devs. I went pretty far down this rabbit hole and ended on Zulip being the easiest FOSS drop-in for Discord that wasn't Matrix, though people who manage to run it tend to love MatterMost.

    Within a chatroom would be a first step, but I've noticed that the best is indeed to have a subchannel structure.

    And yes, Zulip is the best one for long topic-based conversation, that's why Piefed uses it, as stated in the OP :D
