I modified a image I saw going around last year on Global Switch Day
https://old.reddit.com/r/solarpunk/comments/1ijmkc0/make_the_switch_away_from_meta/
Perhaps we could use it to make people aware of Reddit alternatives etc. If you can imporve upon the image please do so, and feel free to use it.
I just threw it together in KolourPaint in a few min.
I wish there were a better name that represents lemmy & piefed. I know “threadiverse” is probably the “correct” name but it’s a bit… shit.
wtf? you mean reddit -> lemmy right?
Piefed is a perfectly fine alternative to Reddit.
PieFed = Lemmy but better. (In my opinion)
They share the same content, but PieFed has more features and better UX.
I’m typing this from PieFed right now
PieFed is just a Lemmy instance, no?
Nope, it’s its own thing. It’s federated, so you can view piefed content on lemmy and vice versa, but it’s a separate platform built in a different language by someone else. I like it better mainly because the lemmy devs are transphobes who are fond of the idea of mass murdering their political opponents.
RIGHT?
It could also be lemmy/piefed since both are interoperable.
I don’t feel like loops is ready for this exposure. Not yet.
If folks can’t install it through the regular stores or even f droid then it may risk always being the complicated and nerdy alternative.
Kind of like Linux has problems getting out of the very techy reputation that it used to have
Agreed. I know you can technically browse tiktok on PC in a browser, but realistically that is not really how people interact with it.
As long as Loops doesn’t have a phone app, it is not a TikTok replacement.
No Lemmy?
Correct, No to Lemmy. :)
Awww… ):
Lots of people like piefed more than Lemmy. I haven’t tried it much yet.
PieFed > Lemmy (In my opinion)
I switched to PieFed a while ago, it’s the same thing but better (IMO)
It also doesn’t have any of the controversy that comes with Lemmy, and the UX is a lot better (IMO)It also has quite a few nice features that Lemmy lacks. Try out both, see which you like.
How does one “move” to piefed? Do I keep my subscriptions and everything tied to my account?
You pick a piefed server and create an account there. You can transfer subscriptions, but that is not something i have done. Your content posted by your .world account stays with that account however.
You can export settings which includes subscriptions from your original account and import them into piefed.
If you’re on mobile you probably won’t really notice much of a difference, the mobile apps are yet to implement the new features.
Mlem is doing a pretty good job of adding features as their apis become available. I have a feeling the next TestFlight will have polls added.
Please elaborate. What’s better on Piefed?
Some additional features that PieFed has:
- You can create posts with polls.
- Crossposts shows comments from everywhere that something is crossposted to (organized into their own sections)
- Feeds for combining multiple communities into one.
- You can blur images with spoiler tags instead of having to use NSFW.
- You can tag posts and then filter down posts based on those tags within a community.
- You can set a time/date for when something gets posted.
That’s just what I can think of off the top of my head. Otherwise a more complete list can be found here: https://join.piefed.social/features/
Awesome! Definitely need to check that out.
All communities with the word ‘meme’ in the name are automatically flagged as low quality but admins can override this on a case-by-case basis.
ok you got me interested
EDIT :
Default Blocks – Lemmygrad, Hexbear, and Nazi instances are blocked out of the box.
wait what? I might not have the whole lore but this reads as “communism” is not allowed. I guess that’s a feature for some people.
It has more features than Lemmy atm, such as custom feeds, flairs or tags or whatever you call them, community moving, etc. (Some of which will also come to Lemmy in v1.0.0): https://join.piefed.social/features/
Since it uses Python and not Rust, it can be developed faster* => faster development and more first time contributions.
Of course it isn’t perfect, it has its downsides as any other software. You might also find it more attractive if you don’t like the Lemmy devs’ political views.
Though it is a bit opinionated, it’s good to have another alternative in the threadiverse.

Whatever happened to kbin -> mbin? That was another early threadiverse alternative, but I don’t hear much about it anymore.
Damn. Trashing Lemmy on Lemmy.
That’s freedom.
The person you’re replying to is actually coming here from Piefed, à la the magic of the fediverse.
what features are worth the increased censorship tools?
Not sure what you’re talking about, but I’d rather support a platform not run by tankie morons. I’ve just been too lazy to make the switch yet.
What censorship tools?
user reputation scores
Seconded, and using Interstellar on Android.
Piefed / Lemmy / Mbin
Agreed, but choice fatigue also needs to be considered. Pick your favorite and promote it to people.
Lots of people are upset with the censorship happening on TikTok and are uninstalling TikTok, this image might be useful to show to them.
My god, thank you for putting the names under the logos. I’ve seen too many people just put the logos without any text because it’s “clean”, but then the viewers have no idea what to search for lol
I wish Peertube had more content, although I may just be actual garbage at finding it.
I recently contacted a content creator at youtue asking if they might also share their content on peertube as they have the rights to do so. Maybe this is a way of getting more content.
Since the videos are already made for yt it shouldn’t be a lot of more work to do for creators.
This is the issue with fediverse in general: lack of content. I’m sure people can figure out how to join … it’s not any more complicated than joining Bluesky, and that has exploded in growth. Why? Because everybody is on there.
it can be tough to find good stuff on there. I had a personal peertube instance that I had setup but I ended up shutting it down, i rarely used it and couldn’t find a lot of good stuff on there.
found this awesome peertuber, he is super cool: blinmaster@peertube.wtf (its my own channel and i found a place to plug it :3)
Well let’s add facebook & discord alts as well.
Revolt got at cease and desist for the name. They renamed it to Stoat.
Piefed? Wasn’t the replacement Lemmy?
There’s a few different options. There’s also Mbin and a couple others that I couldn’t name off the top of my head.
