Piefed is cool! Lemmy is too! What's not cool? Infighting, it drives away new users. Unfortunately this seems a common sentiment... (thelemmy.club)

The Lemmy webUI is just better UX engineering and layout which conforms to mental norms which were invented by Digg, Slashdot, Reddit, even Freshmeat back in the day or HowardForums of old.

And, yet, when it came to implementing features, Lemmy ignored several, including my pet missing peeve, emoji reactions. A feature so valuable, Reddit monetizes it.

Piefed was missing it, too, but þe devs recognized þe gap and added it. I have more faiþ in piefed to improve þe UX over time.

Þat said, I don't see a vast gulf between Lemmy and piefed, and happily use boþ.
