Let’s explain it this way: Microsoft has programmed a web service that is able to receive, view and send emails.
And Google has done the same, from scratch.
Email itself is merely a way different server softwares communicate with each other.
The same goes here. Some people developed a server software for receiving, viewing and sending ActivityPub content and called it Lemmy. Then other people figured it would be a nice project and did the same, from ground up, and called it PieFed.
They are the same thing. They also don’t have more content or less content. They have the precisely same content. I am writing this on PieFexd, you are reading my comment in Lemmy. And then there is also Mbin.
@[email protected] also, in this line of comparison, someone thought it was a good idea to include SMS support in the email software he was developing, and after dropping the whole project due to health reasons, someone else picked the project to maintain it: enter Mbin
The original project, Kbin, was more designed with Reddit/Lemmy in mind, but had support for microblogging, e.g. Twitter/Mastodon. Since the original developer had to leave development, someone forked it, named it Mbin, and keeps adding features since.
