RetroFed Forums

Report problems with a service here that is unrelated to user-controlled client side software. Thus servers and web clients are fair game. This is a catch-all for situations not accommodated by the following related communities:

!bugs@sopuli.xyz - for bugs in third-party software apps
!isitdown@infosec.pub - for downtime status on Lemmy instances specifically (although they accept reports on any fedi node)
!assholedesign_web@infosec.pub - for deliberate enshitification of web services specifically

Welcome to the nostalgia-filled piefed instance of yesteryear.

Open Registration with Application questionnaire.

If you have a question or comment you can post in !meta@retrofed.com or message @DosDude@retrofed.com or @Die4Ever@retrofed.com

In case of downtime and/or emergency, we will post updates on @DosDude@mastodon.social

Some rules we try to uphold:

Be civil. Bigotry is not welcome. This includes (but is not limited to): transphobia, queerphobia, racism, ageism and ableism. We do not promote hate.
Communities need to be Retro or Retro-adjacent.
Please don't upload pornographic content. (use an external image host for that)
