Lemmy is fine though what are you on about
Well, it works. But Piefed is developing more features quicker atm.
So we should all just jump? Meh. Lemmy 1.0 is releasing soon which should help quite a bit.
AFAIK the two can federate with eachother so I’m glad we have both.
Thesis: Lemmy is better!
Antithesis: Piefed is better!
Synthesis: Bitch, they’re federated??
FUCK YOU HEGEL STOP FOLLOWING ME
I vote use both
Not necessarely that’s the beauty of the fediverse. You can enjoy PieFed growth and all it’s content but stick on Lemmy if you don’t feel like moving.
I looked into making yet another account, this time on piefed, but didn’t like the automatic blocking of a few communities. Yeah, I’m a massive hypocrite because I argued hard for the defederation of maga.place from sh.itjust.works, but since coming to lemmy.today I don’t like the idea of automatic defederation where the users don’t have input.
Are there any piefed instances that don’t block anything? Or, is there a way for me to befriend everyone on my account?
Check instance federation/block of piefed.zip
What if I want to get to know the good people of cum.salon, or yggdrasil…

No LGBTQ. Period. No homosexuality. No men who think they’re women or women who think they’re men. No made up genders. That goes for both users and posted content. For the record, traps are gay and will not be tolerated.
I stand 100% corrected.
Thank you.
This is also impressive:
In general, if it’s something that would have gotten you in trouble a hundred years ago, you shouldn’t be posting it. If you have to ask, don’t post it.
In year 1925 you could already get into big trouble in some western countries if you talked too positively about Jewish people. Should people not post anything positive about Jewish people on that instance? Or is it okay until year 2032? Also, I’ve understood that in year 1925 you could get into trouble if you talked strongly against vaccinations. Do they forbid anti-vaxxer posts on Yggdrasil?
Another migration. I know I’m sure I’ll be told I’m a ding dong, but all these migrations are the reason why decentralized social media will never be popular. Some probably think that’s a good thing, but 90% of the posts here are the same person posting hentai.
What do you mean “another migration”? Piefed and Lemmy communities and instances can be viewed from both.
What’s the difference? Can I see piefed communities through Lemmy? Or do I need a different account and/or app?
Piefed has more features and different devs. From an user perspective they’re not very different.
How different are the devs? Is it just a fork where they regularly pull the upstream lemmy? Or ground up?
This account is getting pretty old and about due for a nuking and dessalines seems to be speedrunning being the tankie musk (right down to surrounding himself with bot-friends). Lemmy is still good enough software but looking for an offramp if you catch my drift.
Piefed is unrelated at all, afaik.
They’re a bit cavalier with development, though: when they recently rolled out the feature of posts having a ‘selected answer’ a-la StackOverflow, someone pointed out that the marker for the selected answer should be on the post’s data structure, not the comment’s, so a commenter can’t hijack the marker — but the developer replied that they already moved on from that feature and won’t be changing it.
Yes. Entirely different software. Different programming language and tech stack. Also different system requirements and feature set.
Not sure about the developer spirit. PieFed development has traditionally been moving crazy fast and it gets like several new features every month. I think that’s a matter of focus. It comes with consequences, though. But I think overall the project is doing a good job with trying to be compatible to other software. Prioritizing important stuff and doing the right thing. Sometimes some things get done, rather than be 100% perfect. But past experience tells me things often get fixed or changed around once necessary. Not sure if that’s a wise decision here. The JSON exchanged between the servers is probably extra work if changed around later.
I’d legit rather the software develop and occasionally spaff it up and break the server for a few hours every once in a while rather than the non-moving 5 year plans of Lemmy development.
Also, usually piefed.social is the only instance that gets hit with this as, being the flagship server - it takes the brunt of more ‘experimental’ features. Most other servers don’t upgrade to the latest iteration until they’re sure it’s not going to break them.
break the server for a few hours every once in a while
That’s not what botching the protocol does. It opens the way to mess up the posts that shouldn’t be messed up, until the devs get around to fixing it in the protocol and implement the fix on the server and all the clients change their implementation. By that time data on the posts can be irretrievably borked unless someone sits down and retroactively reassigns which answer is the the ‘selected’ one, which again might need an addition to the protocol because it isn’t a central database, except the dev also can’t actually unilaterally decide which is the ‘selected’ answer because the user might’ve changed the selected answer themselves.
Does this sound like ‘breaking the server for a few hours’?
This smells of fresh college-grad coding with people who can’t foresee how their programming decisions affect the software’s workings in the future.
Haha
I have 25 years of experience at this and am well aware of the tradeoffs I’m making.
We’re not building a space shuttle, here. Lighten up.
