    I’m not sure what you are trying to achieve.

    You can interact with piefed communities using your lemmy account, but that wont give you any of the features that piefed has.

    In order to do that you need to create a completely new and separate piefed account to your lemmy account. You can sign up at a piefed instance/server like piefed.social or piefed.zip, or you could selfhost like in the guide you found.

      Thanks. Cold hard light of day now… Sober and very cold.

      I thought I could use my existing Lemmy login to login to piefed, the same way I can subscribe to different Lemmy communities from all over. Admittedly I hadn’t looked too much into it.

      I do plan on creating a piefed community, or would like to. I have read that guide, was just wondering if there were other guides where people may have done things slightly differently etc.

        The email analogy holds up in this case: you can’t log in to your gmail account with your protonmail credentials, but gmail users can send emails to protonmail users.
