Idk, I think there are also legitimate arguments for piefed !
We can have both, thats allowed :)
(That was the point of my comment 😊)
What's piefed? I looked at it and mostly saw lemmy instances.
It's an alternative to Lemmy with some different features. Since it uses the same protocol under the hood, its instances federate with Lemmy. There's more info on the differences here.
It's like Lemmy, but it has more features because the devs aren't tankies and they actually do work instead of just denying genocides all day
Tankie you say

Are there any plans to improve Piefed's RSS feeds? I primarily browse through Thunderbird, and Lemmy's feeds are a lot more content-rich
Sounds like a good question for @rimu@piefed.social
Doesn't piefed have that controversial hardcoded blocklist? I've heard that meme communities and similar are filtered out using hardcoded keywords matched aganst community name.
Why hardcode this??? Imposing your preferences on everyone seems like a bad idea.
Piefed and Lemmy are basically the same thing on different websites
They're all in the same network
Haven't tried piefed so I can't say.
Such as?
To add to the other comment, the fucking blocking functionality just works.
On Lemmy it's half assed so you can't completely defed/block:
On piefed you have many block options and they just work.
This is just off the top of my head.
Grouping comments of the same posts posted on different comms for one.
Keyword filtering to fade or outright block.
Idk if filtering is in Lemmy, but grouping comments definitely isn't.
I love the grouped comments. I scroll through the comments on once instance, then I reach the next one and you can genuinely see the shift in priorities between communities. It's pretty cool
