Absolutely - CloudFlare issues keep striking randomly but somehow every time it does, at least one of my prior alts is still working. It is ironic that I left them for their technical issues (extreme slowness) but now turn to them for reliability at a later date! :-P
That's how distributed systems work. Easier to take down one but harder to take them all down |

Heard of piefed while browsing lemmy, and people were saying it did a good job of combining communities. Before that, was a reddit refugee after the api fiasco.
Is there any client that supports combined communities? |

Is there any client that supports combined communities? I think voyager doesn't do it yet, but I really like it for marking posts seen on scroll.
I'm just using the website. You can go to https://piefed.social/topics and it groups posts across instances by topic. |

And piefed is fine? If so that's really good news, a lot of people around here seem to interpret "Lemmy is too complicated" as meaning "anything decentralized and not big tech is just too difficult'. I suspect the reality of the matter is that Lemmy is just not extremely user friendly.
PieFed's sign-up wizard, and always-available features basically solves the issue if content discoverability for a new user account. Want to block content? Keyword filters and other blocks that Lemmy lacks. Interested in a subject? Bam, you are now subscribed to it, or if you ever want later, the Topic/Feeds are always there for you. In Lemmy people complain bitterly about having to wade daily through huge amounts of furry and anime communities constantly popping up, but on PieFed you never need to browse by All (you can if you want to though). Hashtags, user and community flairs, polls, PieFed basically took a large laundry list of things that people wished were in Lemmy, and then made most of them in a year rather than decade. Lemmy looks polished, but it's mainly marketed towards potential new admins to run their own servers, and even that requires large investments of network traffic and attention (especially technical know-how to avoid getting spammed with CSAM or bots slurping up data). PieFed makes most things significantly easier than Lemmy - especially for end-users but also when for admins. e.g. https://jeena.net/lemmy-switch-to-piefed and https://slrpnk.net/post/29381524. |

Good to see Thriv is back, I was wondering what happened there. |
