I modified a image I saw going around last year on
Global Switch Day
https://old.reddit.com/r/solarpunk/comments/1ijmkc0/make_the_switch_away_from_meta/Perhaps we could use it to make people aware of Reddit alternatives etc.
If you can imporve upon the image please do so, and feel free to use it.I just threw it together in KolourPaint in a few min.
I don't feel like loops is ready for this exposure. Not yet.
If folks can't install it through the regular stores or even f droid then it may risk always being the complicated and nerdy alternative.
Kind of like Linux has problems getting out of the very techy reputation that it used to have

what features are worth the increased censorship tools?
What censorship tools?

PieFed > Lemmy (In my opinion)
I switched to PieFed a while ago, it's the same thing but better (IMO)
It also doesn't have any of the controversy that comes with Lemmy, and the UX is a lot better (IMO)It also has quite a few nice features that Lemmy lacks.
Try out both, see which you like.How does one “move” to piefed? Do I keep my subscriptions and everything tied to my account?

This is the issue with fediverse in general: lack of content. I'm sure people can figure out how to join ... it's not any more complicated than joining Bluesky, and that has exploded in growth. Why? Because everybody is on there.

Not sure what you're talking about, but I'd rather support a platform not run by tankie morons. I've just been too lazy to make the switch yet.

You pick a piefed server and create an account there. You can transfer subscriptions, but that is not something i have done. Your content posted by your .world account stays with that account however.

You can export settings which includes subscriptions from your original account and import them into piefed.

PieFed = Lemmy but better. (In my opinion)
They share the same content, but PieFed has more features and better UX.
I'm typing this from PieFed right now

Damn. Trashing Lemmy on Lemmy.
The person you’re replying to is actually coming here from Piefed, à la the magic of the fediverse.

Damn. Trashing Lemmy on Lemmy.
That’s freedom.

I recently contacted a content creator at youtue asking if they might also share their content on peertube as they have the rights to do so. Maybe this is a way of getting more content.
Since the videos are already made for yt it shouldn't be a lot of more work to do for creators.

Please elaborate. What’s better on Piefed?
It has more features than Lemmy atm, such as custom feeds, flairs or tags or whatever you call them, community moving, etc. (Some of which will also come to Lemmy in v1.0.0):
https://join.piefed.social/features/Since it uses Python and not Rust, it can be developed faster* => faster development and more first time contributions.
Of course it isn't perfect, it has its downsides as any other software. You might also find it more attractive if you don't like the Lemmy devs' political views.
Though it is a bit opinionated, it's good to have another alternative in the threadiverse.
