    It’s been getting some traction over on Mastodon too. Wouldn’t be at all surprised if they’ve restricted signups.

      That’s what I figured. Good to see that Stamets got an account though! You know the content will be good with him involved.

        I didn’t get an account. I haven’t even heard of it until someone just messaged me asking me about PieFed. Kind of a scumbaggy thing to do if someone took the name.

          Wow, that fucking sucks bro. I checked out the instance, and your name (and iconic profile pic) was on the top of whatever they call “All” over there.

          If it takes off and you need to create a new name, please keep us informed. Your memes are vital lifeblood to the fediverse, lmao (but seriously everyone here loves you and we wanna keep in touch).

            Oh I think that’s just me. I think they’re just showing the federated stuff from lemmy.world and other places on that feed. Was probably just this account you saw.

            And if I need to change names then so be it but looks like we’re okay for now <3

            Thank you though! I do have a Mastodon account though that you can check out here. I haven’t been super active lately from Holiday stress and what not but if anything ever happens Lemmy wise that’s the first place I’d be going.

              Ah, I get it! The concept behind “federation” still escapes me sometimes lol. Good to know you’re still rockin’ on a new platform!

                You and me both, don’t worry there. And yep! Mastodon I am active on but in a different manner. Things are a bit more chill and relaxed.
