Now that Voyager supports PieFed, when promoting the Fediverse on Reddit I will be using this going forward

Try out the decentralised Reddit alternative called PieFed, https://piefed.social/  
It also has a mobile app: https://vger.app/settings/install  

I use it alongside Reddit, and I'm enjoying it more and more, slowly switching over

Some of the biggest complaints people switching over have are

Not sure which server to choose
No onboarding
Too much politics
Trouble logging in
Bad UX/UI (for a lot of people)

PieFed solves all of this, it has good onboarding, login is real easy you can even login with google, during onboarding you can filter out trump/musk spam, UX/UI is lightyears better for your average user, it has de-duplication etc.

Piefed support in Voyager is pretty rough right now, recommending it might do more harm than good.

I was waiting for Voyager to add Pieces support. Seems like it's best to wait a bit more.

Hey, thanks for the Voyager rec! Note, Piefed is still experimental with Voyager, there are known issues, so as others said it might be a bit early to recommend to brand new users.

Also, any reason you prefer https://vger.app/settings/install versus https://getvoyager.app/? The latter has a bit nicer onboarding!

I'll hold off till it's more stable. Thanks for pointing out https://getvoyager.app/, I did not know of it

Sorry, but I still don't understand how exactly PieFed supposedly has a better onboarding and helping new users choose a server. Am I missing something?

If I understood correctly, piefed is not an instance, it is whole separate... thing? (I'm not sure how these things are called anymore, I think of them as forum+) with its own instances and stuff?

[-] Ek-Hou-Van-Braai@piefed.social 1 points 1 year ago

That is correct yes, it's its own separate thing, but has a lot of parallels with Lemmy and shares the same content.

Now I'm confused again. How it shares the same content? It can access lemmy? How about the other way? Can I see piefed instances? If so, what is the difference?
