    I wish Peertube had more content, although I may just be actual garbage at finding it.

    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.

      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.

      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.

          It could also be lemmy/piefed since both are interoperable.

            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 wish there were a better name that represents lemmy & piefed. I know "threadiverse" is probably the "correct" name but it's a bit... shit.

              Piefed is a perfectly fine alternative to Reddit.

                If you're on mobile you probably won't really notice much of a difference, the mobile apps are yet to implement the new features.

                Mlem is doing a pretty good job of adding features as their apis become available. I have a feeling the next TestFlight will have polls added.

                  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

                  Agreed. I know you can technically browse tiktok on PC in a browser, but realistically that is not really how people interact with it.

                  As long as Loops doesn't have a phone app, it is not a TikTok replacement.

                      Some additional features that PieFed has:

                      • You can create posts with polls.
                      • Crossposts shows comments from everywhere that something is crossposted to (organized into their own sections)
                      • Feeds for combining multiple communities into one.
                      • You can blur images with spoiler tags instead of having to use NSFW.
                      • You can tag posts and then filter down posts based on those tags within a community.
                      • You can set a time/date for when something gets posted.

                      That's just what I can think of off the top of my head. Otherwise a more complete list can be found here:

                                  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

                                    Nope, it's its own thing. It's federated, so you can view piefed content on lemmy and vice versa, but it's a separate platform built in a different language by someone else. I like it better mainly because the lemmy devs are transphobes who are fond of the idea of mass murdering their political opponents.

                                      There's a few different options. There's also Mbin and a couple others that I couldn't name off the top of my head.

                                        Its a similar base but distinct in feature set and backend.

                                          PieFed is just a Lemmy instance, no?

                                          It’s a different software stack, both server and client. But it uses the same protocol as Lemmy for federation (same story with kbin/ mbin.) so all those talk to eachother.
