I use a mobile app, so it really doesnt matter to me. Lemmy frontend is a bit shit though

Pylova personally, but my client isn't quite there with Piefed support yet, and I can't be bothered changing clients right now.

I'm still swearing by MBin.

I left lemmy to move to piefed after disagreeing with lemmy’s developers moderation practices and finding out a portion of the donations go to keep .ml running.

Is still don't have an idea what the difference is. I feel like it sounds too samesies to switch.

Lemmy, but for the same reasons you left lol

Lemmy. My instance has alternative UIs linked in the sidebar that allow my feed to look reasonable instead of like a modern social media ui designed for dark patterns

I haven't used Piefed so I can't say. However, what I can say is that place seems to attract more than their fair share of obnoxious users.

Yet you are still contributing to the Lemmy network, the same way you did before

There are dozens of us! DOZENS!

PieFed because it has more features and integrates better with Mastodon users.

I switched from Lemmy to PieFed a few months ago bc I really like the combined comment streams and hiding posts based on keywords (and the HPT-Fruits theme), but I'm eagerly waiting for PyLova to gain more traction, as it seems to address quite a few pain points of PieFed.

I prefer anyone that doesn’t support the tankie triad.

Same. Fuck .world.

I think of Piefed as a Lemmy client. Like in the same way that mIRC and HexChat are IRC clients. Different look, feel and some difference in features but the core is the same.

Piefed.

DoN't VoTe FoR dEmOcRaTs! BoTh SiDeS aRe ThE sAmE!!!1

Edit: wait, that's also lemmy. Especially Lemmy. Nevermind.

Edit2: Bloody Lemmy users, they ruined Lemmy.

I've engaged in this debate in the past. Even started some threads and caused accidental fires. I'm not doing that anymore. It's unhealthy for the threadiverse. Just pick and use what you like. If you don't like it anymore, switch to something else. If it speaks ActivityPub, it's all good. We need more fediversing, more decentralization and less drama.

Responding to wrong message perhaps?

I prefer the funny people living in the Voyager app.

https://join.piefed.social/features/

A lot of the big differences are in the community moderation and instance admin side of things. If you use a client app that does both Lemmy and PieFed then using your new PieFed account would feel exactly the same. So for the average phone app user there's not much reason to switch.

The admin and mod tools being so much better does mean that PieFed communities and instances have the potential to be run much better, in theory.

What about my .world?

Why not just jump onto a pylova instance then?

At your service.

I left it because I wanted to try something new.

I prefer sticking to large instances, that's why I was on lemmy.world and now piefed.world. I know some user settings are portable, but I want to be convinced of a server's longevity before I switch.

I checked out http://joinpylova.org/instances.html earlier today, but none of the 3 seems appealing.

next day edit: actually, fuck it, I'm gonna try out quokk.au :)

I feel seen!

Mbin >

Well, not really. Kind of misinterpreted your message before having my coffee and responded without thinking. Anyway, I'm pissed off about the bots that try to discourage US voting and it leaks to all my Lemmy comments.

Lemmy all the way. PieFed is cool in some of its features, but the way Rimu makes heavy-handed decisions without properly getting community input is insulting and reeks of everything I left centralized Web for.

I keep PyLova in sight, but for now, Lemmy serves me well.

Mbin. Neither Lemmy nor Piefed appeal to me.

Lemmy. I dislike the tech stacks of piefed and mbin.

The choices are confusing. I'll remain where I am until I stumble over a reason to switch.

I miss pugjesus and all the cool history stuff he posted 😭

Me too, me too

Piefed has better features, but lemmy is less ideaological

it's not the lemmy network, it's the fediverse

lemmy because it has the old.reddit style frontend (mlmym)

I mean, the Lemmy devs are easily just as bad. Just try to have a political discussion on .ml while not being a scum sucking tankie. I would be negative levels of shocked if it turned out they added something like a global shadowban list or other similarly shit moves other fedi devs have made.

For all we know, Lemmy does not have that, though.

It's one thing to spread your views through the developer's instance and ideologically police it (not great, but eh, users can just block .ml), it's another thing to bake your bias into code and make it affect every single instance. Besides, PieFed makes other, non-political controversial changes, too.

They support .ml

Call lemmy.world communities the fediverse if you want, it's still Lemmy infrastructure

I like piefed because it was actively improving with neat things. when I first came I was on kbin for a similar reason.

whats pylova got? if I can block by the number of characters in the body of a post I might move over.

i much prefer lemmy and i'm banned from piefed.social because the developer is extremely thin skinned so i'm not really interested their echo chamber

He [Rimu] has decided to mass ban 20 users because they have spoken out against his erratic and hostile behaviour as of late.

guy at no kinds came with an anti dnc sign and talked to folk about how hes part of making a new party so like not even going with an established 3rd like greens. Felt like the xkdc with making a new spec that meets all usecases. He did not talk to me unfortunately.

Piefed because the software has a ton of awesome features and the dev is very responsive.

Lemmy has completely stagnated. They raised enough money for 2 full time devs and pretty much nothing has changed in the past 2 years.

My comment has absolutely nothing to do with USA or voting though. Zero.

Can I just say, as someone new to any of this you all sound like a bunch of absolute loons. It's like you're arguing over your favorite tarts flavors.
