Something to help lead people to the Fediverse
(thelemmy.club)
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.
No Lemmy?
Fuck Dessalines and Nutomic. Not for their politics, but because they are petty power hungry assholes.
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.
Damn. Trashing Lemmy on Lemmy.
And getting upvoted for it by other piefed users
The person you’re replying to is actually coming here from Piefed, à la the magic of the fediverse.
That’s freedom.
In a way yes, because this post is in a community running on a Lemmy instance. But at the same time: The user was did not use Lemmy to write the Lemmy trashing :)
(And Lemmy is good. It's just, PieFed is so much better!)
If that's trashing, most debates I've seen would be bloodbaths. e.e"
Irony aside, if someone is politely criticized, what seems to be what the OP did, and the receiver sees it as a problem, the receiver shouldn't be a public figure.
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:
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/
ok you got me interested
EDIT :
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.
Awesome! Definitely need to check that out.
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.
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.
As someone who had to jump ship more than 3 times, I keep saying to think of their accounts as disposable because we don't know if we picked right or when/if the mods/admins/hosts will go crazy.
You can export settings which includes subscriptions from your original account and import them into piefed.
Recommend a mobile app for it?
Seconded, and using Interstellar on Android.
Lots of people like piefed more than Lemmy. I haven't tried it much yet.
Its fun. Honestly though, we are so similar its like choosing apple or cherry pie. It comes down to preference.
Fediverse means lemmy/piefed/etc..etc... can thrive and we all have a better experience.
