      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.

          Agreed, but choice fatigue also needs to be considered.
          Pick your favorite and promote it to people.

              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.

              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

                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.

                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.

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

                      People are fleeing to another close source centralized app that’s not federated. People will use anything but Fediverse. 😞

                        You can be pretty sure anyone with 1488 or even just 88 in their user name is a nazi, for example.

                        ...what if I was born in '88 and it's just my default 'seasoning number'?

                          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.

                                I know, but you know who is developing lemmy, right? Wonderful people like @dessalines@lemmy.ml and @nutomic@lemmy.ml

                                That’s why I suggest not talking about lemmy anymore and adapt piefed as the name

                                  Probably the clearest indicator that the lack of technological literacy in mass market society means that marketing budgets are incredibly effective, and most won't question the incentives of the platform holder.

                                    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.

                                    As someone who had to jump ship more than 3 times, I keep saying to think of their accounts as disposable because we don't know if we picked right or when/if the mods/admins/hosts will go crazy.

                                      I started on .world and quickly realized I wanted a smaller instance. So I moved to .ee and sopuli, then when .ee went down I decided to not limit myself to a single instance. I do not have as many accounts as cm02 does, 4 total I think. But only use 3 of them much.
