Join the lemmy.ml boycott today and help foster a better Lemmy-verse! No more posts, comments (except to counter their propaganda ofc!) or upvotes on any comms on the Lemmy.ml instance!
And consider donating to individual instances instead
Does anyone have a good alternative to this dogshit lemmy site? Something that doesn’t run this shit in the background and is still a good federated content aggregate?
The lemmy.ca admins run a piefed instance that I’m migrating to. Any piefed instance will be the same content as any lemmy server because it’s all activitypub but you get to use software that isn’t made by people with questionable politics.
Great recs. I should consider moving off too.
I just realized I have been reading Piefed as Pixelfed - for many weeks now and I always was like nah, it may be ActivityPub but I don’t want an Instragram-like app. But it is not Pixelfed? What is it? The UI looks pretty similar to LemmyUI. Could you point out the core differences pretty quick?
Software package whose instances can federate with Lemmy instances.
More limited native client support is probably the most prominent downside to PieFed that I’m aware of. Use Interstellar for PieFed; it can also do Lemmy and Mbin. Usable, but not as mature as Eternity on Android. Getting more development than Eternity, though.
Biggest PieFed feature that I’m aware of that Lemmy doesn’t have is migration of communities. Was really useful for lemm.ee communities, as that instance was going down, and PieFed instances could import their history if a mod wanted to do a migration. I haven’t really gone looking for features, though.
From a developer standpoint, Lemmy is written in Rust, PieFed in Python, and Mbin in PHP.
Just another reddit clone powered by activityfed. No different than mbin in terms of content and usecase.
