Well, it works. But Piefed is developing more features quicker atm.
So we should all just jump? Meh. Lemmy 1.0 is releasing soon which should help quite a bit.
Not necessarely that's the beauty of the fediverse. You can enjoy PieFed growth and all it's content but stick on Lemmy if you don't feel like moving.
AFAIK the two can federate with eachother so I'm glad we have both.
Thesis: Lemmy is better!
Antithesis: Piefed is better!
Synthesis: Bitch, they're federated??

What's the difference? Can I see piefed communities through Lemmy? Or do I need a different account and/or app?
Piefed has more features and different devs. From an user perspective they're not very different.
How different are the devs? Is it just a fork where they regularly pull the upstream lemmy? Or ground up?
This account is getting pretty old and about due for a nuking and dessalines seems to be speedrunning being the tankie musk (right down to surrounding himself with bot-friends). Lemmy is still good enough software but looking for an offramp if you catch my drift.
PieFed main devs support human rights.
PieFed is not a fork of Lemmy. It is a different software, but able to share content with Lemmy using the ActivityPub protocol.

In terms of what content you can see, the difference between Lemmy and PieFed is effectively the same as the difference between two Lemmy instances. As long as the instances federate with one another, it does not matter which platform you use. You can definitely interact with PieFed from Lemmy just fine. In fact, you are doing so right now! My account is on a PieFed Instance.
This meme is more making a joke about how relatively young PieFed is. Years back, a post to any community on the fediverse that got 20 upvotes was huge. But today, a post with 20 votes is basically nothing (depending in the size of the community). By the time PieFed came about, the fediverse was populated enough that a post with only 20 votes was nothing like a post with 20 votes in the olden days of Lemmy.
You can see lemmy communities on Piefed.
But you will need to make a new account on a piefed instance, same as you would moving to any other lemmy instance.

for you an average user you're not going to notice much in difference. you'll get more features with Piefed but otherwise you can still view and interact with each instance.
From an admin side/someone who runs their own instance Piefed is just so much better. lighter, easier to set up, run, and manage.

Another migration. I know I'm sure I'll be told I'm a ding dong, but all these migrations are the reason why decentralized social media will never be popular. Some probably think that's a good thing, but 90% of the posts here are the same person posting hentai.
What do you mean "another migration"? Piefed and Lemmy communities and instances can be viewed from both.
I'll use the Casual Conversation community as an example. They started out on Lemmy.World. They had 6.7k subscribers. They moved to lemm.ee, which was shut down. Now they are at piefed. One of the biggest communities migrated multiple times and has lost almost 20% of the subscribers.
One could argue that this is the purpose of decentralized social media, but my point is that constant migration and evolution, while not exactly dubious, will keep casual users away.
Most of the initial communities made primarily on lemmy.world benefited from the initial flood of users joining from Reddit after the API fiasco. Most of them didn't stick around - but their presence on as subscribers on those communities still persists. It's a false number.
Subscribers aren't a great metric to determine community viability in many cases.

Subscribers are a poor metrics. Active users is much more relevant, and !casualconversation@piefed.social is as active as the previous versions used to be

High-fidelity community migration (no loss of followers) is on my to-do list for the next release. It might get bumped to the release after but it's on the agenda.

Once upon a time you needed GNUtella, freeseek, kaazaa, eMule, NZB, DirectConnect, FreeNet, and bittorrent. Give it time, if you can't tolerate being an early adopter. You will find this pattern throughout life, not just on decentralized networks.

This is the first I've heard of piefed, and so I'm just browsing the desktop site. It's kinda jank, to be honest.

Oof. Lemmy as a decrepit grandma is a bit unkind.
Without their pioneering work in the early quiet days and absorbing the first wave of reddit refugees, PieFed wouldn't have anything to glom onto and build from so there is a symbiosis going on.

I looked into making yet another account, this time on piefed, but didn't like the automatic blocking of a few communities. Yeah, I'm a massive hypocrite because I argued hard for the defederation of maga.place from sh.itjust.works, but since coming to lemmy.today I don't like the idea of automatic defederation where the users don't have input.
Are there any piefed instances that don't block anything? Or, is there a way for me to befriend everyone on my account?
Check instance federation/block of piefed.zip
What if I want to get to know the good people of cum.salon, or yggdrasil...

No LGBTQ. Period. No homosexuality. No men who think they're women or women who think they're men. No made up genders. That goes for both users and posted content. For the record, traps are gay and will not be tolerated.
I stand 100% corrected.
Thank you.
There's something so funny to me about just super blatant bigotry. Because this sounds unhinged to anyone with even a shred of decency.
Immediately followed by a rule against 'miscegenation'. That's one to add to our list…

piefed.zip is likely the one that doesn't block anything if it is modelled after lemmy.zip here.
Disclaimer: I checked into piefed shit again and this unexpectedly turned into a whole thing.
I found this here https://join.piefed.social/features/ :
Default Blocks – Lemmygrad, Hexbear, and Nazi instances are blocked out of the box.
Does that mean they can't be unblocked? And now I'm seeing:
Authoritarian Inoculation – Feature to reduce the impact of authoritarian propaganda.
That gave me pause, not because I want to promote authoritarian propaganda, but I'm concerned about someone else deciding what's authoritarian.
And:
Low Reputation Indicator – Identifies consistently downvoted users.
This feels like karma. I'm alright with rule-breaking stuff getting deleted and people getting banned for bad behavior, but I don't think people should be flagged for consistently going against the popular narrative. If they're being assholes users can report them.

giving a shit about "upvotes" seems like such a reddit thing to do.
I'm here for replies and conversation and yes...sometimes getting into arguments with dickheads (and...I'll be honest...sometimes being said dickhead when I'm having a bad day)
I don't actually care how many internet strangers are giving me made up internet points or not. It's always just seemed to me to be vacuous and silly as something to "chase"

Two uppies are enough. I made one person smile/chuckle/think/poo in terror/hungry. In terms of bad fables "it made a difference to that one"
If you got two up votes, I'd wager at least twenty people also viewed your content without down voting. That's a big win.
I much prefer the technical architecture of Lemmy over PieFed. I understand the qualms with the core developers, but it feels dirty to move from Rust to Python.

Thanks for this post. Found my way into a PieFed account because of it. I find the user experience to be much more pleasant indeed. Especially for finding communities across instances and searching for posts/comments in general.

The point with 6 up votes said...
An upvote a minute is pretty solid numbers for the beginning of a thread on the fediverse. As of my comment he's got 15 upvotes in 13 minutes.
