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

    thanks, i already know about voyager. i use boost and voyager on mobile which both has support for piefed. the problem is mlmym, i really prefer the old reddit styled ui on desktop but there’s no equivalent for piefed.

      I thought one of the themes was supposed to be more similar, but that wouldn’t help from an app. Yeah if that is your criteria then I guess you are stuck. Ooof, until Lemmy itself stops working on mlmym - since you mentioned it is unmaintained. Btw Lemmy 1.0 is coming out sometime soon-ish iirc, so you might be prepared with an export JSON of your settings and blocklists, just in case.

      Then again, hasn’t your instance barely received any updates for a long time now? You might be on one of the very few instances that won’t have to worry about being upgraded to 1.0… but on the other hand, your instance may not survive someday either.

      Oh, there is a blop alternate UI, see in use at https://blorp.piefed.world/home

      In the end, you gotta stay with what works for you, for as long as you can - I get it:-).
