I shan’t assume even the obvious!!!

Hey, welcome!

Check out some alternative UIs like phtn.app and alexandrite.app, they’re really cool!

!! lol

It does seem then that the less-than-great aspects of PieFed, from your perspective, are quality of life sort of things, rather than core aspects of the way PieFed works. That’s nice to hear :D

I’ve tried it out just a little, but I’ll definitely be exploring it more!

this Lemmy instance which will remain single user most likely.

You’re an evil person, keeping a name as cool as nocturnal garden all to yourself… Where has compassion gone? The world… The world is falling apart, one cool server-name at a time… /j

(in all other cases beside Lemmy) can be described as shouting in the void and being happy if someone else is there too.

Yeah, I get this, to be honest.

Though, I do feel the same way with the centralized social media platforms. I mean, if I make a Tumblr post, I’m really not expecting people to see it. If I just Tweet, as opposed to Tweeting at someone, I don’t really expect engagement either… YT videos, Instagram posts… Unless my friends and family use the apps — which is another issue altogether, since I could try to get them to join — I just shouting in the void.

I think it’s the lack of theme. Lemmy makes you post with the theme of the community you post to, so it’s kind of implied that your posts will reach people that are interested in what you posted. That’s kind of how tags work on Mastodon and Twitter, I guess, but it’s not quite the same thing.

It very much is not Fediverse. They use a federated protocol, but not ActivityPub, which is the Fediverse’s protocol. They use AT Protocol instead, and they’re the only thing using ATP, by the way… That should tell you everything about how “federated” they are.

While there are different servers, there’s a dependence on central nodes. The simple existence of central nodes is antithetical to decentralization… So we’re really not talking about the same thing at all here, with BlueSky vs the Fediverse.

Cool :D Thanks for the link, I’ll definitely be checking that out~

Once shareholders get their hands on something

We’ll see I guess…

which suits so many of my needs (tbf not all) perfectly

What do you think is missing from PieFed?

Discord continues going down the shitter.

How so? And what do you mean bridge Matrix to Discord?

:D That does sound nice…

I love Thunder for Lemmy, so I’m definitely interested in what you’re doing.

That being said, I think an app that could unite the threadiverse is really cool. Lemmy, Mbin, PieFed, all in one. That’s nice… I do have Interstellar installed, but I don’t really like it as of now.

Hmm I see.

Not sure how much use I’d get of public upvotes, personally, but boosting/re-posting seems like a genuinely nice feature.

…And Lemmy?!

However, when PieFed gets a stable app, I plan to switch over to it

Yeah, lots of people have been talking highly of PieFed.

Maybe I’ll try out Loops when it gains federation support.

Oh, no Fed yet?! Dang…

Criiiinge…

I love how excited you are about this!

I have a PieFed account. Set it up and browsed for a little, but haven’t found my way quite yet. I’ll try to figure it out this weekend.

I’ll probably post about my expedience on !gondaily@lemm.ee, one of these days.

Excited :D

Well, no, it is not that… My Reddit app has no ads. I vanced it.

I don’t get ads on anything, nowadays. I can imagine how that might sour the experience tho.

The Lemmy apps are way better than the Reddit app tho, that’s for sure!

Gosh, I have to try out Loops…

Lemmy. Nuked my 14 year old Reddit account today. Lemmy is great.

NGL, I think Lemmy is better than Reddit. I enjoy it more. I can’t put my finger on why, though… They’re basically the same… Maybe it’s just a UI issue.

I see… You make a compelling argument, to be honest, and those are some nice features. I really like this custom Feed thing.

I’m definitely delving into Piefed in the coming days.
