What is so special about piefed? I see a few communities moving there. The interface looks different from the original lemmy interface.

Postgres slowing factor

I'm pretty sure one of the best optimised free/libre DBMS's is faster than Python 💀

Also no one know how Piefed scales, since it only has like 350 MAU

Reread it. They're saying "The slowest part is postgres, so even if python is slower than rust it won't make a difference."

Piefed also uses PostgreSQL. He was mentioning that the limiting factor on either platform is the DB, meaning that the parts written in Python will likely not be a limiting factor.

Piefed also has quite impressive optimizations in other areas as well compared to Lemmy or even Mbin.

Well, you can add flairs :)
