PieFed is like Lemmy in the same way that Lemmy is like Reddit.
One thing I absolutely adore about PieFed is the focus on democratization of moderation: by putting the power to choose your own experience into the hands of the users, you reduce the burden of moderation, e.g. the reason that Lemm.ee is shutting down. For example a new user account that joined less than two weeks ago gets an icon next to the username, and accounts that post 10x more often than comment (unregistered bot?), and people who receive 10x more downvotes than upvotes (troll?), so at a glance you can get more of a feel what you are up against before or as you reply to someone.
I dislike how Lemmy is somehow more authoritian than Reddit itself: yes there is a modlog but no modmail, no notification sent about a moderation event, no ability to ask questions why, nor even acknowledgment as to which mod did the action so that you can tag them (without having to put the full list of mods) elsewhere. Moreover, I do not expect this to ever change, not in five years nor ten, and in fact this aspect of Lemmy has actually gotten worse over time - Lemmy after all was founded by the tankies who were kicked off of Reddit for being too toxic, then decided to make their own Reddit, with blackjack and hookers:-). Which they did, and kudos, and it's absolutely great to see... but tankies are well known for their authoritarianism, see e.g. admin practices on Lemmy.ml.
PieFed is already doing things that Reddit had not. The goal of Reddit was to increase shareholder profits, not improve end user experience. PieFed is the second non-tankie implementation of a true Reddit alternative, after Kbin/Mbin, but PieFed is under very active development and in many ways has already surpassed Lemmy. See it for yourself - e.g. every cross-post has all the comments combined across all of the cross-postings, and the categories of communities (user customizable and shareable btw) are adorable.

Ooh u might check it out then
I really like about lemm.ee in the admins block illegal and spam instances then I’m free to block NSFW and bots myself. As for moderation stuff yeah I remember a whole controversy over people not wanting to donate to lemmy admins but also not wanting to fund their political views. As for the comments that sounds awesome, I like to lurk and browse comments that aggregation sounds awesome. Also completly forgot about mbin might check them out
lemmy.ml, lemmygrad, and hexbear are the big 3 ultra "left" ones, they were so annoying that i had them blocked.
Oh yeah I have grad and hex bear blocked but there are some communities on ml
If it helps, there is a difference between the software PieFed vs. the current selection of instances, like PieFed.social is the flagship instance and I have never seen NSFW stuff on it, although there is a NSFW tag (+ also a NSFL one as well). But other instances may choose to host NSFW content if they want to.
