      PieFed > Lemmy (In my opinion)

      I switched to PieFed a while ago, it’s the same thing but better (IMO)
      It also doesn’t have any of the controversy that comes with Lemmy, and the UX is a lot better (IMO)

      It also has quite a few nice features that Lemmy lacks. Try out both, see which you like.

          In a way yes, because this post is in a community running on a Lemmy instance. But at the same time: The user was did not use Lemmy to write the Lemmy trashing :)

          (And Lemmy is good. It’s just, PieFed is so much better!)

          If that’s trashing, most debates I’ve seen would be bloodbaths. e.e"

          Irony aside, if someone is politely criticized, what seems to be what the OP did, and the receiver sees it as a problem, the receiver shouldn’t be a public figure.

        Oh you sweet summer child.

        They’re just hard coding keywords to limit reach of usauthoritarianism and queer community.

          From what I remember it was about some discover feed feature or something and they tried to curate it a bit, remove greentexts and stuff that had a ton of posts or something.

          It was an anti meme feature that has since been removed on request. The PieFed devs are very open to the community and act lighting fast.

          Meanwhile people have been asking Lemmy for a working block function for years and they refuse. And let’s not forget the hardcoded front page banners Lemmy puts on all instances begging for donations to do who knows what as it never updates.

        If you’re on mobile you probably won’t really notice much of a difference, the mobile apps are yet to implement the new features.

          Mlem is doing a pretty good job of adding features as their apis become available. I have a feeling the next TestFlight will have polls added.

          I use Voyager, it’s great. https://getvoyager.app/

          Create your account first on PieFed then login to voyager, there are onbording steps that the mobile app doesn’t yet have.

          One of the reasons I like PieFed more is because of good UX, like onbording

          Some additional features that PieFed has:

          • You can create posts with polls.
          • Crossposts shows comments from everywhere that something is crossposted to (organized into their own sections)
          • Feeds for combining multiple communities into one.
          • You can blur images with spoiler tags instead of having to use NSFW.
          • You can tag posts and then filter down posts based on those tags within a community.
          • You can set a time/date for when something gets posted.

          That’s just what I can think of off the top of my head. Otherwise a more complete list can be found here: https://join.piefed.social/features/

            All communities with the word ‘meme’ in the name are automatically flagged as low quality but admins can override this on a case-by-case basis.

            ok you got me interested

            EDIT :

            Default Blocks – Lemmygrad, Hexbear, and Nazi instances are blocked out of the box.

            wait what? I might not have the whole lore but this reads as “communism” is not allowed. I guess that’s a feature for some people.

          It has more features than Lemmy atm, such as custom feeds, flairs or tags or whatever you call them, community moving, etc. (Some of which will also come to Lemmy in v1.0.0): https://join.piefed.social/features/

          Since it uses Python and not Rust, it can be developed faster* => faster development and more first time contributions.

          Of course it isn’t perfect, it has its downsides as any other software. You might also find it more attractive if you don’t like the Lemmy devs’ political views.

          Though it is a bit opinionated, it’s good to have another alternative in the threadiverse.

          You pick a piefed server and create an account there. You can transfer subscriptions, but that is not something i have done. Your content posted by your .world account stays with that account however.

            As someone who had to jump ship more than 3 times, I keep saying to think of their accounts as disposable because we don’t know if we picked right or when/if the mods/admins/hosts will go crazy.

              I started on .world and quickly realized I wanted a smaller instance. So I moved to .ee and sopuli, then when .ee went down I decided to not limit myself to a single instance. I do not have as many accounts as cm02 does, 4 total I think. But only use 3 of them much.

                Adding to the thread of account redundancy and backups based on personal experiences…

                I started I think it was on .ml or .world, quickly found kbin.social and preferred it, it died and I didn’t have a culture of backing up accounts, then I moved to lemm.ee and I kinda forgot to make a backup in the grace period before it died (oopsie) but at least had been hoarding on RSS feeds so not all was lost, then found Mbin was a thing, then found about external RSS’s and searching for fediverse links for pulling external posts.

                Adjacent to external RSS’s, also found out when an instance goes poof, the community/group/magazine keeps propagating, just as a derelict one. So while it’d be a moderation hell, at least it’s somewhat preserved.

                So moral of the story, there are a few ways to back stuff up, and thus, adding to the choir, please do use them.

                And an addendum, PieFed also has external RSS feeds by default, so for example, piefed.social provides their own RSS feed for !fediverse@lemmy.world.

            I would recommend exporting your settings just in case. I was using an instance that kind of vanished for a week and then returned, but with my user account completely gone 😱

            It’s nice that you can just import your settings from a file on your own hard drive and continue from basically where you left.

              I lost my piefed.ee account too. I have my subscriptions backed up manually, but it would probably be a good idea to export, then save it in Bitwarden.

            Go use reddit, it will align with your worldview much better since it is run by corporations that sell your data for profit, making use of their god given right to “personal freedom” as defined by the CIA, and don’t allow anything left of Mussolini on their platform.

                The great majority of the world’s “tankies” aren’t from the Global North but from the Global South and from actually-existing socialist states like China, Vietnam, and Cuba.
