You’ve got the idea. Retro, or retro inspired. Our piefed doesn’t have any retro communities as of writing this, but our lemmy has retro magazines, antique radios, adventure games, pixel art, ms-Dos and more. Not everything is retro, but the things that aren’t are retro inspired.

The instance itself is fully compatible and federated with the entire threadiverse, so only the local feed will be 100% retro/retro-inspired. Also we’re working on retro feeds for easy access to topics of interest.

It’s ready for the public! :)

Happy to be here!

Everyone is welcome. Basically the instance allows all spectrum, as long as you behave and treat people with respect. Local communities allowed must be at least retro adjacent. Meaning it has to be old shit somehow, whether in spirit or physically.

For example. On retrolemmy we have communities for pixel art and adventure/point n click games. Both are being made today, but in spirit live in the days before.

Just build your own with a kit. Hell, call it a CNC filler. This was a DIY hobby from the start. I don’t see how this can be regulated.

Writing by hand is a good way to get fine eye hand coordination. I think, at least for younger kids, writing should be primary during development. Around 12 years of age it could be phased towards computers instead.

Will do! Thanks!

I had no idea piefed would automatically post it here. That’s pretty cool!

I’m just testing the piefed instance right now, as a piefed alternative to retrolemmy. And in the coming days fully set it up for the public
