It’s honestly bonkers to have a community hosted on Lemmy this hostile to Lemmy as software and the developers.
Are you referring to [email protected]? This wasn’t posted by the mods.
Deb’s a tankie with the most bullshit oppinions ever seen on earth.
I’ve been using lemmy.world with the boost app. Should I look into piefed? Am I missing anything? I mean I’m happy with what I got, but is the grass any greener?
There’s been some controversy recently about censorship hardcoded into Piefed’s backend. Basically it gives people a “social credit score” based on how they post.
I’m having troubld findinv good peertube instances, anyone have any recs?
can anyone eli5 what the difference is from piefeed to lemmy? i have a lemmy account, do i have a use for a piefeed accnt too?
Its up to you. They are different software but both read lemmy and Piefed communities and instances.
I am unreasonably angry about the stretched icons.
It makes it look like a shitpost at a glance lol
Hey, hey you.
Get some.
I’ll join you. 😡
Maybe add Matrix as a Discord alternative?
Revolt (now known as Stoat) isn’t federated though.
Is there a federated version, either in the works or planned? Because otherwise, Stoat is the only option.
Yes
Matrix
No.
Other alternatives are Root, not federated.
There’s also Roomy in development which is federated, and will tie into Bluesky.
Links?
Well damn, I need to update the pic I guess. I didn’t make it, just saved it some months ago
Is peer tube any good ?
There are some good youtube mirrors on peertube though and the videos can be downloaded. Also no youtube censorship! I bet you can find some good movies like in the old age of youtube
No.
But mainly because content creators are on YouTube to get audience and a small profit. The technology is fine otherwise.

This is an interesting economics problem. How can a p2p FOSS alternative compete with advertising revenue? The YouTube creators don’t even get most of the money, so it wouldn’t need to be perfect to be better.
Yeah I think it’s doable since most of the revenues are through sponsorship and you can evaluate the audience with likes and subscriptions
I honestly think next time we should switch Mastodon out for something else.
We’ve already given Reddit users enough chances to try out Mastodon, we should see if the general Reddit users accept something else better. But I’m not experienced with microblogging at all, it’s not my thing. Hopefully something with a discovery algorithm.
We’ve seen good results from promoting PieFed instead of Lemmy, so switching it up does work.
Also, to avoid doing unpaid labour for Jeff Bezos, go from Goodreads to Bookwyrm!
I’m a little behind on this, what does goodreads have to do with bezos?
In 2013 Goodreads was sold to Amazon 😭
As pointed out, Goodreads has been owned by Amazon for a good while. And they also own slices of some other similar book sites (LibraryThing, for example, and some other site that was merged into Goodreads).
Nice suggestion. I didn’t know this was a thing. :)
Should be Lemmy over piefed.
I’ve seen the Reddit users be more receptive of PieFed over Lemmy. In a post suggesting Lemmy, the Reddit users will just comment that it looks ugly, it’s confusing, devs are tankies, etc. Posts suggesting PieFed get less complaints and more signups.
Also I think the instance choice is easier for PieFed compared to Lemmy. If you tell people to use Lemmy, they’ll probably end up on lemmy.world which is overpopulated, or lemmy.ml…
Yeah but this is like when Disney makes star wars tv shows. Ignore what the current audience likes and use the show as a vehicle to try and tell them what they should like.
I didnt think they could do worse than Discovery but the Academy is incredibly bad. On the plus side, Im rewatching Deep Space Nine again.
And BlueSky over Mastodon

There doesn’t need to be a replacement for everything. How much does the world need to revolve around a random person’s hot-take in 140 characters or as many seconds. These are artificial walls.
So uh, you joined lemmy why then?
I joined because I got banned from Reddit. Unjustly I claim.
What’s the difference between Lemmy and piefed, and why should be choose one over the other?
You don’t have to. Piefed is different software. It does have more features: custom feeds, hashtags, flairs, polls, events, keyword filtering, scheduled posts and more. Much of this is also arriving in lemmy 1.0, but the release so far is undated.
But some people dislike the UI of Piefed.
To users they’re both mostly the same but PieFed has more features and a much better UX, so it’s the one I choose to promote.
I’m not sure there’s a better UX. Take a look at the recent code analysis: https://lemmy.ml/post/42415919/23662293
I think the current behavior is very confusing. Unless you’re an instance admin, you don’t know whether these features are enabled or not.
But how does one switch from Lemmy to Piefed?
You can register on a Piefed instance and use Lemmy’s subscription export feature and Piefed’s import feature to retain your subscriptions. Porting comments/posts isn’t a thing.
There’s work underway creating migration scripts for Lemmy databases to be imported to Piefed, but that is a tool for instance administrators only, of course.
You create a new account on a Piefed instance. There’s a lot to choose from like Piefed.social, piefed.ca, piefed.blahaj.zone, etc
Theres a lot of animosity right now between some Piefed and Lemmy users for some reason. I use both, I dunno why people are picking this fight right now, it seems pretty fucking dumb to me.
mbin should be on there too IMO. similar to Lemmy but it federates properly with microblog stuff.
What I miss is a auth service for all of them. Something like a “common user” where you can have all your Fediverse services under the same user.
Yeah some OAuth would be nice
