Best of all though seems to be that it is in a language that people actually use - no disrespect to Rust bc it's arguably the best, certainly the hottest language right now, but it definitely seems to be limiting progress that so few people are willing to learn it.

I think it's also worth highlighting how PieFed interactions with other fediverse services. Both a.gup.pe groups and PeerTube channels integrate super well, and you can follow them like any other community.

In practice, this means that content from technology content creators posted on PeerTube will appear directly within the technology topic; videos posted to flipboard.video are pushed directly to the fediverse topic. Discussions and upvotes are, of course, federated directly to PeerTube.

As I love the potential of PeerTube but find it lacking in discoverability, this is something I really love.

a.gup.pe groups

Guppe groups look like regular users you can interact with using your existing account on any ActivityPub service, but they automatically share anything you send them with all of their followers.

Follow a group on @a.gup.pe to join that group

Mention a group on @a.gup.pe to share a post with everyone in the group

New groups are created on demand, just search for or mention @YourGroupNameHere@a.gup.pe and it will show up

Visit a @a.gup.pe group profile to see the group history

is this like a hashtag?

I guess the main difference is that once you tag a.gup.pe, your post gets relayed to all followers of the group - independent of whether they are already federated with you. So kind of like hashtags, but it allows content to travel further.
