This is a live demo of Fedigest, a self-hosted front page for the threadiverse. Look around: open a post, read its comments, try a theme. This post is pinned, so it stays at the top.

Fedigest lets a small team of curators pick posts from Lemmy, PieFed and Mbin, say why each one is worth reading, and publish them as one newest-first front page.

What you're looking at

• Picked posts link to the original thread. Comments load live from the community where the post was made.
• Interact from your instance takes you to the same post on your own Lemmy or PieFed instance, where you can vote and reply.
• Auto posts come in automatically from communities this site watches.
• Categories in the menu each have their own page and RSS feed. Some, like site news, stay off the front page.
• Themes: pick one at the bottom of the page. Light/dark pairs follow your device.

Pinned posts

Admins can pin posts like this one. A pinned post sits at the top of the front page and of every category page until it's unpinned.
