After hosting RetroLemmy.com for close to 3 years, we are proud to announce we now have also opened up a PieFed instance called Retrofed.

This is not meant to replace RetroLemmy, but instead give retro-minded people a choice.

Also, Retrofed is available and fully functional on http as well as https. Meaning old hardware should be able to connect and interact with retrofed if people so wish.

Your home away from modern life.

Welcome to the nostalgia-filled piefed instance of yesteryear.

Open Registration with Application questionnaire.

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.

Just saw this. Awesome to see! Would’ve opted for this when creating the pixel art comm, as then reports would federate to my instance too (a very nice perk of Piefed), and I wouldn’t need to log into the local account to check every so often.

Great option for any potential new relevant comms too :)
