It seems that a lot of new people have learned about these platforms from a popular post on Reddit. We currently see ~~78 notifications (and counting) and a pile of applications on piefed.ca~~ too many registration applications for me to keep this up to date.
I am pinning this thread on both platforms for new users to pop in to and ask questions. Please give them a warm welcome!
Please let us know how we can help! For example, here are some tips on finding communities: https://fedecan.ca/en/guide/lemmy/for-users/how-to-find-communities The guide says Lemmy, but the steps are the same on Piefed
Since a lot of people arrived here from r/BuyCanadian, maybe you will be interested in !buycanadian@lemmy.ca

We have some information here, but that page is already out of date since Piefed is pretty stable now.

It's been harder to make an accurate comparison as both projects are under active development and either have, or are working on many of the same features.
The extra features on Piefed that I personally use are scheduled posts and topic lists.
