I like the many features of Piefed, but the lack of mobile apps and good clients (such as tesseract) is a deal breaker for me. And the Lemmy backend is written in rust, so it’s very fast, as opposed to python, though I understand why one would use python instead of rust.
I hope Lemmy catches up with the features. I’m not fully comfortable with donating to the devs because they run tankie authoritarian-bootlicking instances, and are transphobic.
they run tankie authoritarian-bootlicking instances, and are transphobic.
This is why I’m most likely going to use Piefed when my lemm.ee time expires
The Interstellar app seems pretty good so far
So far piefed seems a lot more responsive, but that could just be due to less users on this instance vs the lemmy one I use.
Since lemm.ee is about to shut down I also want to take my leave. But whilst I am very supportive of lgbtqia+, and have friends who are part of it, I myself am not so idk if I belong in the blahaj family (same thought when I joined Lemmy back in the day). Like I feel like I should leave that comfy space to you folks since you deserve it and that I should stick to a more general instance <3
(Also I have seen a post once where you are just allowed to be called ally by someone from the movement and not call yourself it so I stick to the rule and instead use the word “supportive”)
TL;DR: I am curious about your opinion if lame normies like me belong there and I am fine with the outcome as long as we’re cool cuz I luv u folks! :3
You are absolutely welcome!
Aww thanks <3
I’ve decided to join on 19/6 because I want to have a nice cake day date :3
You don’t have to be LBGTQA+ to join Blahaj! Allies are just as welcome in the space! (:
Oki, I might do that :3
But I’m going to wait until the 19th so I can have my cake day on 19/6 :3
Why, what did I miss?
Blåhaj just made a piefed instance and I just think it’s better
It’s compatible with lemmy, so I can just use my piefed account for basically everything!
What makes it better/worse? Up- and downsides?
- Communities can have a topic, this means you can browse by topic! Nice but not mindblowing
- Communities can define post flairs! Basically very visible tags on posts that you can sort by. I’ve wanted this for a long time and some communities do this on lemmy by adding [flair/tag] to the title. Easy to forget to do. With it being a feature instead it’s just much nicer and handier
- Wikis! Some communities really benefit from having a wiki alongside it, like my DIY HRT community! I’m super pumped for this one
- There’s a NSFL flag for posts in addition to NSFW
- Lots of neat options for communities and the user. You can set communities to be mosaic instead of a list! Haven’t tried it yet but it’s cool that it’s an option
- Built in custom css stuff
- The dev seems very active and communicative
- The dev isn’t a transphobic tankie as far as I’m aware
- Everything seems to be better made than here. Did you know on lemmy you need to comment/post in a community to be made a mod? You also can’t be unmodded unless you have a comment or post. On piefed there’s a menu for this instead. Lots of just better little things like that
- More probably
The downside is Lemmy is more popular. I don’t think there is a mobile app also (edit: there are mobile apps like Interstellar, but I dunno if they support all the non-lemmy features yet), just the web frontend. There might be more, but I just started using it. Also, since the instance is new it’s still syncing posts and such from other instances and from lemmy
Edit:
Oh! And you can have “feeds” which are like multireddits. Instead of just your frontpage which acts as a singular feed you can have multiple custom feeds! Say a meme and a hobby feed f.ex, instead of everything being mixedEdit:
One more negative is lemmy can’t see the piefed only features like wikis. It’s also newer and there seems to be mainly one contributor to the code, so I wouldn’t be surprised if there are some bugs lurking around.
