in different social networks I often see a table of fediverse alternatives to centralized social networks like twitter = mastodon and so on, but I noticed that the alternative to reddit is piefed and not lemmy, can someone explain what kind of fediverse project this is, and is it different from lemmy?๐Ÿค”

What kind of features?

Is it mostly mod stuff or is it changing how/what you (can) post?

Some additional features that PieFed has:

  • You can create posts with polls.
  • Crossposts will display comments from everywhere that something is crossposted to (organized into their own sections)
  • Feeds for combining multiple communities into one.
  • Mods can move posts from one community to another (such as in cases where a post is a better fit for a different community)
  • You can blur images with spoiler tags instead of needing 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.

A more complete list can be found here:ย https://join.piefed.social/features/

i heard you can have multiple feeds on piefed for example. i can't on lemmy.

As in multi community feeds? That should be coming to Lemmy in v1.

Yep. And you can curate them. For example https://piefed.social/f/fediversevideos

Its a mix of communities, peertube channels, and mastodon accounts attached to videos.
