Our Platforms
On this page, you can find a list of platforms under the Fedecan umbrella. Whether you join the Fediverse through one of our platforms, or through someone else's, you can still connect to the wider network.
All of our platforms are hosted in Canada and run by Canadians. 🍁
Image Sharing
Pixelfed is a federated platform for sharing images, photos, and videos, similar to platforms such as Instagram. You can follow users, hashtags, and share posts, all without any ads, tracking, or secretive algorithms.
Forum Style
These platforms follow a forum format, similar to platforms like Reddit or Hacker News. You can share and discuss links, text, and images, and use upvotes/downvotes to decide on what content rises to the top.
Our forum style platforms use one of two projects under the hood:
- Lemmy - Lemmy is an established project that has been around for a while. It was designed to be very fast and reliable, and it makes up a large part of the forum side of the Fediverse.
- Piefed - Piefed is a relatively newer project that offers additional features such as topic lists, feeds, flairs, and additional moderation tools.
As they're both federated, you can use either of them to connect to the wider Fediverse!
Our forum style platforms are as follows:
