Every time I go to the piefed frontpage I’m blown away by how much more polished it is. It has all the bells and whistles that lemmy is sometimes missing.

Whats the catch? Why aren’t we recommending everyone goes to piefed instead of lemmy?

App support is one thing I can think of.

      Two questions for you, I’m genuinely curious, I hope they don’t come up as agressive

        why create this post here instead of [email protected] ?

        This community is much bigger? He’s asking a question so probably wants input from the most people possible.

          It is, but there’s only one way to make Piefed grow, it’s to start getting Piefed communities more active.

          Lemmy covers pretty much all the topics the current Threadiverse is interested in, so at some point posters have to accept to post to smaller communities.

          I’m not saying everyone has to do it, but as OP states that Piefed is more polished, I was surprised

            Does it really matter when you can access the same content from Piefed? It’s one of fedi’s great strengths that different experiences can be tailored on the same platform.

              Yep! We should probably move some comms to piefed, so that .world doesn’t control too much, but not to piefed specifically.

                There’s also three Fediverse comms (here, ml and zip) like do we really need another one?

                    Has world really not enabled parallel sending yet? That feature was made specifically for them.

                    Single mod who didn’t want to create a meta posts to ask for more mods.

                    But the sidebar does say to DM them if you’re interested in modding. Not wanting a meta post is weird though.

                not to piefed specifically.

                Why not? I’m not saying to move everything, but a few communities to Piefed could be nice. A few to Mbin too to keep everyone happy.

              It doesn’t matter, true. We can see every comments in a crossposted post. But on the other hand Blaze is also right. :)

              I told him the same thing about its lemmy repport that i wished something less lemmy centric. :)

                With our current situation, it’s just that most of the things are going to happen on Lemmy. New app update? it’s a Lemmy app. New monthly active user milestone reached? Lemmy is probably the main reason.

                Hopefully things will get more balanced over time, but we can’t expect a perfect 1/3 split of posts between the three platforms.

                  Yep but considering your activities, you can tell them more about PieFed and Mbin. It will help reach a more balanced software’s use. :)

        This comm is much bigger, and I happened to be on my .ee account at the time.

        e: And I’ve used this account for longer, so I don’t want to abandon it.

          Probably the main reason why people won’t move to Piefed either
