can anyone eli5 what the difference is from piefed to lemmy? i have a lemmy account, do i have a use for a piefed accnt too?
To me. It’s the same thing but PieFed has better UX and more featues.
Which one you pick is for the most part irrelevant.
thanks for the input. im gonna chekc out piefed
PieFed has flair and topics, which make it easier to find content you like.
oh cool. thanks for the info :3
Its up to you. They are different software but both read lemmy and Piefed communities and instances.
ok thanks. sorry someone downvoted you
Do you really want the world to join here? I don’t think you do. A lot of the world is anti trans, anti woke or whatever they want to call it. I’m pretty open minded but the Marxist purists who continuously shout down differing opinions get really old sometimes.
For things that you’re using by yourself, sure, it’s doable. However, for content creation, it’s pretty hard. Some of those alternatives just don’t have the critical mass yet. Maybe it would be an option to do both in parallel for some time before switching completely, but might not work for everybody.
Practical example: I’m a hobbyist photographer. Small timer, less than 1000 followers. My livelihood doesn’t depend on this, but I’m still serious about it. I mainly do concerts and sport events (so a lot of things involving other people) and my main outlets are Facebook and Instagram. Switching to something else would mean either 1) that no one will see my work or 2) that people will see my photos on the alternative place, they’ll copy them over and they’ll still end up on Facebook and Instagram, but this time without my creative control (thus badly cropped and recompressed several times - so even if I pay special attention to those things when publishing by myself, the effort goes down the drain when someone else does it).
Isn’t lemmy the reddit of the fediverse?
Really wish Loops had an Android app.
Lets make February a switch month. It is impossible to switch in one day
What’s a good peertube instance that federates with a lot? I tried tldvids but its got like 2 regular uploaders and i cant find most channels I search for.
You can upload yourself so that others can benefit.
Lol, posting Piefed as an alternative to reddit to Lemmy…
Also, PeerTube is super obtuse to get an account and has almost no reach. You almost have to personally know someone who has a server or host your own. There’s a reason why video hosting has gotten so corporatized: it’s expensive. That said, almost “no one” used Mastodon for nearly a decade and it’s finally starting to take off, so maybe it just needs another decade or two.
A lot of people hesitate to promote lemmy because of how transphobic / authoritarian the lead devs are. It’s unfortunate, but if you’re concerned about that then piefed really is the more attractive option (I like my comment history too much to have switched yet but… man, it’s getting hard to justify not having done it.)
And obviously the Piefed codebase is so politically and ethically agreeable… /s
No one likes the lemmy lead devs or their stances. But, to my knowledge, they just keep doing their own thing over at
.mland never channel it into their actual codebase.When I first started here, I was on Kbin, and switched to lemmy because it was so much better. I considered switching to Piefed exactly because of these reasons you mentioned (I’ve already switched lemmy instances, comment history is not an issue for me), but when I looked into it there were so many just frankly aggravating things about the way it works and filters stuff by default (not to mention being written in Python, but that’s completely tangential) that I couldn’t do it.
Sure, lemmy developers have backwards principles. But at least their software doesn’t. I completely get why someone would use Piefed instead, especially if they’re trans or of some other demographic directly targeted by the lemmy developers, but I wouldn’t do it myself (unless it gets better, of course).
And obviously the Piefed codebase is so politically and ethically agreeable… /s
People are more likely to donate to a project that they actually use. If more people are using piefed, it means more money going to that project rather than a bunch of tankies. So I can see why people who disagree with the Lemmy devs might want to direct people elsewhere even if the software itself is apolitical.
It’s a testament to (if nothing else) the ability of the piefed devs to behave like adults that I know nothing about them personally. Nu/Des are horrible people, both politically and interpersonally, but that’s the beauty of FOSS: Those of us comfortable with separating the software from the creators get to stick with the software we prefer over one that lacks features or broad support (i.e. all the piefed apps I’ve tried have been pretty rough). Same energy as why people still use windows instead of linux.
I’d argue that it is more because so many people have hate comms and groups set up specifically to target the lemmy devs. Idk why people hate Des so much
Theee are hate comms for the lemmy devs? I’ve failed run across them, huh.
Loops is mid. The community is pretty inactive, and the iOS build is quite buggy and lacking.
There’s an organized effort by somebody to disparage Dan Supernault. I would take anything negative you’ve heard about him, or Loops or Pixelfed with a big grain of salt. They even have a Discord channel where the plot ways to sew poison about him. It’s nuts !!!
It only released onto the AppStore 3 days ago. I’d argue they deserve some time to get it right.
What about streaming?
that’s peertube too
Like a twitch alternative?
You can stream on peertube. Never tried it though.

Maybe I am just noob at using it. But calling pixelfed a substitution to instagram, is maybe just a little reach… Pixelfed I found buggy, slow and dead community wise? Anyone to prove me wrong?
Wtf is piefed? I mean, I’m searching for it now, I’ve just never heard of it.
It’s like Lemmy, but it can interact with Mastodon and has some other features that Lemmy lacks. It’s pretty cool, only reason I don’t use more often it is I’m happy on my instance otherwise I would swap in an instant.
The Dbzer0 folk also run a piefed instance, Anarchist.nexus, if you’d prefer to be using piefed with everything else the same.
I’ve never used it but apparently people like it, but it’s got some pretty interesting development choices, I’ll just leave it like that.
Another Reddit-like software that reads the Fediverse like Mbin. I’m speaking to you from Piefed.
Every day is a good day to switch
