Something to help people lead to the Fediverse

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.

I modified a image I saw going around last year on

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.
Well let's add facebook & discord alts as well.

Please elaborate. What’s better on Piefed?
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:

user reputation scores
So he doesn't like the political "tankie" ideas, so he implemented a social credit score to improve it?

No Lemmy?
Fuck lemmy and its tankies

Piefed? Wasn't the replacement Lemmy?

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
PieFed is just a Lemmy instance, no?
-

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.

Fuck lemmy and its tankies
Please note that I am not referring to specific instances like lemmy.ml or lemmygrad.

Agreed, but choice fatigue also needs to be considered.
Pick your favorite and promote it to people. -
Revolt got at cease and desist for the name. They renamed it to Stoat.

My god, thank you for putting the names under the logos. I've seen too many people just put the logos without any text because it's "clean", but then the viewers have no idea what to search for lol

Yes, but if you try to recommend people to use Mbin you have to explain why they have to call shitposts in meme communities "articles" in "magazines".

Lots of people like piefed more than Lemmy. I haven't tried it much yet.
Its fun. Honestly though, we are so similar its like choosing apple or cherry pie. It comes down to preference.
Fediverse means lemmy/piefed/etc..etc... can thrive and we all have a better experience.

Take a look over at !peertube@lemmy.world It would be great if more people knew about it and posted/interacted.
