Lemmy or Piefed? (piefed.social)

I’m not new to link aggregators/communities, but new to those outside of Reddit. About a month ago I joined Lemmy and today my curiosity led me to Piefed, although I’ve come across the name before.

My research told me Piefed is developing at a much faster pace than Lemmy, is that true? I like the onboarding of Piefed better, because it allows you to select things you might be interested in as part of the process, which is helpful. Overall, it’s a much more guided approach.

I’ve also gotten to know it doesn’t really matter for the average user which of the platforms one joins. So I’m specifically posting this question on a community on Lemmy through my Piefed account.

I’m based in Europe if that makes a difference, which I believe it doesn’t. Nonetheless I’m happy to read your thoughts. Thanks

Cons of each:

  1. Piefed is a lot newer and is therefor in some areas still under construction.

  2. Lemmy is maintained by people who also run the ML instance promote Russia's invasion of Ukraine, promote North Korea, promote Donald Trump, etc. The have postulated that Trans people are a "liberal psyop" and they think the word liberal is synonymous with right-wing fascism. The periodically add a banner to every instance running lemmy begging for money to fund their extremist activities. LINK TO MEGATHREAD

    That’s interesting. Although your link is dead and doesn’t let me proceed.

    Yet even with lemmys people being like that, their software is free from bias and authoritarian-style features that are made to stifle free speech and to encourage an ideological echo chamber, unlike Piefed.

    Lemmy's lack of features is why Lemmys community is how it is and that suits the Lemmy devs and their political goals perfectly.
