After 5 months of chipping away at it, PieFed is now an installable 'app' in the Yunohost store! It's been there for a couple of weeks actually but until this weekend it had a scary red exclamation mark because some automated tests hadn't ran yet. But that's gone now so I feel confident about recommending it to others.

Yunohost is a linux distro for servers that has a web gui for installing and managing services, that takes all the hassle out of self-hosting. How to get started with Yunohost.

@squirrel@piefed.kobel.fyi and @michael@piefed.chrisco.me have had good success setting up their instances already: https://piefed.social/c/piefed_meta/p/1561141/thanks-to-rimu-ericgaspar-and-tituspijean-yunohost-has-a-working-piefed-setup

Saving to check later. 👀

Btw, didn't follow through much so I ask, what's special about Piefed when compared to Friendica, Mbin or Lemmy? Been meaning to get practice in web hosting by setting up an instance but as I don't know how to use a same domain for multiple instances at once, I want to proceed cautiously at first.

    Check out https://join.piefed.social/features for a comparison.

    A subdomain should be fine.

    Thanks!

    As an user, tiled posts + domain block are the most interesting features for me. It's competing with Mbin for priority now, as Mbin has hybrid view + domain blocking.

    Also was a bit drowsy when I commented before and hadn't noticed, but the two people mentioned have their instances in subdomains, so I'm guessing the tool allows it? Didn't read the tutorial fully either, so will have to take a deeper look.👀

    Yes, when you set up your domain in YunoHost and have configured your DNS correctly, you can manage your subdomains directly in YunoHost.
