So, it seems like PieFed is becoming a real alternative to lemmy.
What are the differences between these two? From a tech perspective, and also morality/ethics, if you want. Any differences in vision for these services?
Say whatever is on your mind. I want to know.
On which one should we put our weight?
Edit: I will leave this post here, which is a post by one of the devs of Lemmy that enumerates some of the things Lemmy 1.0 has. Lemmy 1.0 seems to be already in alpha stage and is already testable. The feature selection does look fantastic. Here is the post I am referring to: https://lemmy.ml/post/40744781
PieFed, which i used first, is harder to navigate. It seems to have blocked a lot of content from other instances and i’m not sure why
What instances?
Defederation/community blocking is fully adjustable by an instance admin, just like Lemmy.
As other people are saying, this is normal for all instances, and I wanted to point out that Lemmy also specifically blocks a ton of stuff from PieFed too, in cases where PieFed has implemented a feature but Lemmy has not.
Polls, hashtags, user and post flairs (the latter of which is halfway coming in Lemmy’s upcoming UI, although only in the server side while the UI will remain not yet implemented), and emoji reactions come immediately to mind, and I am certain there are others.
Plus PieFed aids in community discovery in so many ways, like combining together comments across cross-posts, and also PieFed renders the community side-bar (with explanation, rules, and links elsewhere) below every single post, so that looking at the same post on Lemmy vs. PieFed (caveat: most 3rd party apps have not caught up to all these features yet, so here I mean the web browser UI) looks very different.
