OpenPostSocial integrations
PieFed
Post discussions and links to PieFed communities through its native API.
Choose a PieFed community for each post variant. OpenPost uses PieFed's native alpha API.
Connect an instance account
PieFed needs no developer app or callback URL. Each person connects with their instance username and password. OpenPost exchanges the password once for a token and never stores it.
- In OpenPost, choose your workspace and open Settings → Workspace → Social accounts → PieFed.
- Enter the home instance address (such as
https://piefed.social), your username, and your password. - Publish a test discussion and open the resulting link from the post details.
Post to a community
Choose a community and enter a title. Add a Markdown body, a link, or an uploaded image.
Search for a community, paste !name@instance, or choose a saved destination. Read its rules and warnings beside the editor. Resolve the community before scheduling. Use Inbox to reply, like, and manage comments.
Troubleshoot
- Check the home instance address, username, and password.
- If a community cannot be resolved, check its exact address.
- PieFed's API is versioned separately from Lemmy's. If publishing fails after a successful connection, open the failed variant in OpenPost for the provider error.
