in different social networks I often see a table of fediverse alternatives to centralized social networks like twitter = mastodon and so on, but I noticed that the alternative to reddit is piefed and not lemmy, can someone explain what kind of fediverse project this is, and is it different from lemmy?πŸ€”

I would complete ignore whatever politics of Lemmy or PieFed people try and sway you with. Way too many people on here trying to start drama.

In my experience, Lemmy moves slow but things are very stable. PieFed moves fast adding lots of features that Lemmy is missing, but tends to break things a little more. Both are very useable platforms.

I’ve personally had great interactions with the Lemmy and PieFed devs, and I know they collaborate with each other behind the scenes.

And if you’re unsure, I would just make a PieFed and lemmy account and try both. But the specific PieFed or Lemmy instance you choose might matter just as much as which software you choose.

    Yep. Thats what ive seen on both my instances. Piefed has had a lot of new features. Lemmy has had stable dev work.

    What kind of features?

    Is it mostly mod stuff or is it changing how/what you (can) post?

    Some additional features that PieFed has:

    • You can create posts with polls.
    • Crossposts will display comments from everywhere that something is crossposted to (organized into their own sections)
    • Feeds for combining multiple communities into one.
    • Mods can move posts from one community to another (such as in cases where a post is a better fit for a different community)
    • You can blur images with spoiler tags instead of needing to use NSFW.
    • You can tag posts and then filter down posts based on those tags within a community.
    • You can set a time/date for when something gets posted.
