PieFed Meta

I dont think people care enough about piefed for that sort of thing.

March is near the left edge of the graph. So yeah, looks to be two.

Today it's 5914, 106 more than March.

Stick around for more exciting updates. Or you could just look at the direction of the graph and get the idea.

I am simplifying probably but essentially it is like Lemmy and the two are talking to each other. Source: me and you, since I am on PieFed and you are on Lemmy but you can see my comments and I can see yours.

There's also the political difference that the Lemmy devs are often labelled as Tankies, not the case with the PieFed dev(s).

It adds a whole bunch of functionality that Lemmy lacks. In addition to not being run by tankies.

Edit: see below

~~It bans users for no reason, and without explanation~~

the biggest thing is it aggregates lemmy and dedupes posts and aggregates other reddit like fediverse content thus its just all around better than lemmy imo -- people can still use lemmy you're just getting more high quality content with piefed

It's a different frontend for the same content. Also it has additional features. Same thing with a better interface IMHO.

It should be all instances, I believe.

People have a lot of different opinions on that. IMO Interstellar has the most PieFed-specific features.

But a lot of people don't install any app and just use the PWA - https://join.piefed.social/docs/piefed-mobile/

I'm using Blorp right now. The experience is good for everyday use, but it doesn't have all the features such ~~as keyword filtering (in the settings),~~ combining cross-posts (view the comments from all comms, it doesn't do that in my experience, at least not as clearly if it does. It does show you where the post has been cross-posted to though), and a few other things. ~~I'd say try it out (or any other compatible app, though I don't know of any others ATM), though, if you find yourself wanting access to any of the features not in the app, the most obvious & best thing would be the website.~~

E: I see you're using piefed.social on voyager, so the second part of my comment doesn't apply. I don't know how Blorp compares to Voyager, so can't help in that regard.

E2: Blorp does have keyword filtering, just doesn't sync with piefed

Just to add some additional points beyond what others have already said here: Voyager provides only experimental support for PieFed instances. That said, there are numerous features that you could set by rarely switching over to a browser environment that will continue to affect the content that your account sees inside Voyager on a more daily (hourly?) basis. Some examples are personally blocking an entire instance (Lemmy has something named an instance block but it is so pathetic by comparison that it might legit qualify as disinformation to call it that - suffice it to say that it still shows content from users on that instance, allows them to reply, DM you, triggering notifications, basically it's a community muting and not an instance block at all, whereas PieFed's is more of a TRUE instance block), and keyword filters. Bc those features are run on your home instance - in your case PieFed.social - they will still work when using Voyager to access your content.
