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

Being able to follow individual users, in addition to communities, is enough to tip the scales for me in favor of piefed. There's a lot of content on the fediverse that is inaccessible from the threadiverse, and getting pixelfed photographers and mastodon meme accounts in my feed has been a huge improvement for me.

    Can you link to some good meme accounts on mastodon?

    I like @vicfroh@mastodon.social , @i0null@infosec.exchange , and @funnysnarkyjoke.bsky.social@bsky.brid.gy (this is technically a bluesky account via a bridge to give credit where credit is due)

    I would also recommend @nonfedimemes@wetdry.world but I think they might have stopped posting? idk maybe follow anyway in case they come back

    (also hi y'all! sorry I'm a little late for follow friday)

    what UI do you use as a that lets you add pixelfed and mastdon to your feed? I am on Voyager but it doesn't fully support piefed and I don't see anyway of adding non lemmy fediverse places to it.

    I use the pwa. The interface for following users is still pretty clunky — you have to browse the instance on the instances page, and you only see accounts who have interacted with your instance previously. I went to pixelfed.social and gram.social and followed just some random accounts and it has turned out way better than I expected. My favorite is an account that posts photos from a gameboy camera, @harryfk@pixelfed.social
