PieFed user surge continues! 🚀
-
People still direct people to Lemmy.world. A lot of people don't understand the benefits of federation still and want everyone on one instance. They won't stop when an instance gets too large.
Well yeah but those aren't the people reading this thread

I don't know. I wouldn't be so sure. It's a good idea to spread the message anywhere.

Oh no... Some of that might be bots.

Bots sign up anyway. This is driven by effective advertisement on Reddit.

No, you do. You are commenting on a piefed post to a piefed user.
You just don't get all the extra bits I mentioned
Ah ok. I can live with that

Same protocol, yes, so they share all the same content. And a lot of apps originally built for Lemmy now work with PieFed too. Voyager is one of them so if you have an account on a PieFed server/instance you can just add that to Voyager.
When using a mobile app there's not much difference for the average person. But PieFed instances have a lot of mod and admin tools which will tend to improve the quality of the content and people you come across, if that's how the server admins want to make it. https://join.piefed.social/features
Honest question here. Since it's all the same stuff... why do I as a fediverse user care about piefed if it's basically an admin toolbox?
It's cool admins have good tools to minimize workload., but beyond that?

PieFed. Just make an account and follow the onboarding. You'll start noticing differences immediately.

Ok. But once I'm in will I see the same content as on Lemmy?

Yep. You can export your settings from Lemmy and import then into your PieFed account, so all your community memberships and blocks will be replicated.
Registration is currently closed on piefed.social due to a DDoS so try any other.

Yeah, general use with somewhat if a focus on the Nordics "market", but I'm not planning on launching competing communities against anything existing.
Btw can I suggest joining the Zulip or the Piefed matrix chats.

I've been lurking on the Zulip for a while but you're right it's about time I sign up!
