Every time I go to the piefed frontpage I'm blown away by how much more polished it is. It has all the bells and whistles that lemmy is sometimes missing.

Whats the catch? Why aren't we recommending everyone goes to piefed instead of lemmy?

App support is one thing I can think of.

What's missing from Lemmy that would make it unattractive to the average user? Remember the majority of users don't post, comment or otherwise interact with the platform beyond voting.

For those that may only vote and otherwise lurk, there's a decent amount.

The inability to create multi-communities/reddits (or feeds as Piefed calls them), the absence of post-folding/deduplication for when someone posts the same article to multiple communities (sometimes similar, sometimes distinct), the absence of keyword filtering to automatically filter out stuff from local/all feeds one's uninterested in, and these are just a few from the top of my head for those that mostly lurk.

Keyword filtering is about to be merged into Lemmy. Other features will also be added over time.

Will there be a release with that feature before Lemmy 1.0, or will it be delivered with Lemmy 1.0?

It could be backported, but there are now significant changes between the 0.19 and development branches, so it would take some work.
